well lets just start off about the wonderful news of the ipads.... We didnt get them :( So we get to the conference and right off they tell us that the ipads are not here... so we had a 5 hour conference on the ipads that we didnt get wooohooo! but the best part is they got shipped out from holland the day we had our conference. Very good planning there! so we should be getting them soon. But we can never know because we've supposed to have them since last sepetember...
In other words transfers happened this week and the results are..... Soeur Tehoiri is staying for her 5th transfer here in Antony and she'll finish it here. I get to kill her :) so yeah were going on our 3rd transfer together! i'm so excited!
This week went by fast again. I dont even remember what we did...
Still cleaning the members house every morning from 9-1pm. Each room has been cleaned to the point where There's just a LARGE pile of bags in each room, we cant really do much about the bags, the member has to sort through it herself cause its either important documents or clothes. But you can run around the house now!
And Edna continues to progress!!! Really she's golden! Her baptisms in 2 weeks so we're working hard to make it happen!
We had the musical fireside and it turned out perfect! we had more amis there than members. we even got a new ami from it! she stopped in front of the door, looked in and my companion invited her in, she came and then came to church the next day! wooohooo! she's from italy! the first night she thought we were catholic and then after church the next day she thought we were evangelist
... We're workin on it.
Well that was basically my week!
I'd just like to close by something that i learned yesterday from the conference. We were talking about agency and the authority told a story about elder bednar. So Elder Bednar was in a conference and a man stated that he had the agency to choose whether or not to go to church. Elder Bednar replied by saying, "you already chose. you've already spent your agency. When you chose to follow God and make covenants with Him, you made your choice. So don't tell me that you have the agency to choose to go to church or not, tell me that you're a covenant breaker"
(an internet search confirmed that, although paraphrased, the point of this quote is accurate)
Okay so its a little harsh, but its so true! We've already made promises to God, we've already made the choice. And we need to be accountable for what we've chosen.
Have an amazing week! I love you all! Bisous!
