Okay, super jealous that Bishop Caussé came to our stake conference! like seriously his sister is SOEUR BABIN???? but like it's really not fair! he comes after i'm already here in France. But it's okay, i'll probably bump into him sometime through out my mission. Thanks mom for the story of how the paris temple came to be. sad it won't be done before i leave, but i'll just have to come back! but yeah I heard another story too about how they decided to let it be built, but it was in french, so like I don't really remember it too well and who the actual person was that made it possible because it wasn't told by the actual person, it was told by frank pozanski (old mission president).
So this week was good. Mimi, i don't know when her baptism is going to be, cause right now she has her kids at her house every weekend which also means she has a social assistant living with her too, so she can't come to church. so we'll see where that goes,if we were in the states she could just get baptized during the week, but i'm in france where half the members live hours an hour away. so baptisms have to be on sundays, other wise no members show up to support them. but that's the update with her.
But other than that i'm just loving the Christmas holidays! everyone's so nice, we get to sing to people, it's just awesome!!! so like yeah I love Christmas i wish it could happen more than once a year.
Also we contacted this lady and right away she said that she doesnt like to talk about religion and said that she believes Jesus is a myth. but then we started talking about Christmas with her and she said that Christmas is a sad time for her because her parents are dead and all her kids are gone out of the house. But then we started testifying to her about Christ and all he did for us and why it's important to remember him during the Christmas holidays and she started smiling!!!!! and her eyes lit up! and then she started opening up and telling us how she used to love going to church with her parents and misses that. it was so cool to see her completely change in front of us. at first she didnt want to give us the time of day, but as we testified of Christ you could see her change and be more happier. it was such an awesome experience.
okay i keep on saying it but if you haven't gone to christmas.mormon.org and watched the video, then GO DO IT! I absolutely love it every time, it's short but very beautiful!
well have an amazing week! I love you all so much and can't wait to skype you in 17 days!!!!!!!! miss you!
