Bonjour a tous!
I hope you have all had a wonderful week, time is flying by I can't believe it is already week 5 of this transfer!
Starting off this week we had some really great lessons with our amis on Tuesday, its been really awesome to see how Jaqueline and Jose is progressing. We had our awesome DMP and his wife teach with us for Jose and it helped so much, they helped answer a lot of his questions and we saw some progress! Jose is a little different, and learns very slowly so we were stoked to see him start to understand:)
On Wednesday we had Zone Conference! It was a little stressful getting everything ready for it. President and Soeur Brown came, and me and Soeur Lowder presented a little as well as the zone leaders. Ha what we had planned to speak about changed a little bit, but in the end I'm hoping to went really well. We talked all about Temples, we have a new brochure le Temple et la famille that we just got translated to French and we are using it to get people excited for the first temple in france!! We have actually been teaching about the temple a lot this week, and each time I am lucky enough to testify about the temples I am so thankful we have them again on this earth. That is our goal for every person we talk to and teach, to go to the temple and feel of the eternal joy that we do. I know that temples are truly the houses of the Lord, and I feel so thankful for the amazing gift we have of eternal families!
That night after zone conference we had a really incredible lesson with a less active we have been teaching. Her name is YoYo and is from the Congo and we both felt like we really just needed to teach her about her divine identity. As we testified that she was a beloved daughter of God, for the first time she opened up to us and talked to us about her past. The spirit was so strong during all of the lesson, and at the end she said she would come to the open house of our new church! It as awesome, and one of those moments that helped me remember why I am here:)
The end of the week we were delivering these cookie plates that we have been making for all of our members. We made notes that said this was our way of showing our love and now it was their turn to give that love to someone else. We wrote down a few ideas of what they could do, like inviting a friend to church, or introducing an ami to us, or praying for someone, etc. We haven't had a lot of time to deliver all of them but I am super excited to start sparking up the members:)
Today us and some of the other missionaries headed up to fourvière and vieux Lyon and it was gorgeous! Fourvière is a beautiful old cathedral that overlooks all of Lyon. And then right next to it is an ancient amphitheater which dates back to before Christ was on the earth! Super super cool to see!!
I love you all and thank you for all of your love and support and prayers!
Je vous aime!!
