Hermanas Hermanas!

Hey family! 

This week was great! But what happened? I think a lot of good things and miracles.

Okay so Tuesday we had zone conference! It was really good!  Our president started a new way of zone conference. It was just basically practice teaching in front of the two zones. Luckily we didn't have to teach. I'm all for practice teaching, but not in front of a big chunk of the mission and president and Soeur babin.

Then Wednesday we went to the embassy! And guess what? Soeur dechesne was the only one that got to enter the gate! They told us we could wait for her in the park across the street. So we actually didn't get to walk on u.s. Soil :( 

So then this week was a week of miracles!

Thursday we saw Brigitte for the first time in like 2 months! And we asked if she had been praying since the last time and she said YES! (She never keeps her commitments). And she had read the chapter we gave her. Then we taught about the importance of church praying and reading. And she said that when she gets back from vacation she'll come to church at least three times to find out if it's the true church. Then she said she'd take her Book of Mormon on vacation and read every day, and she said she'd continue to pray each day! Seriously came out of no where!

Friday we did planning and then had a few  hours for contacting. So I felt we should go to a certain vile. So we get there and there's no one because it was raining and constantly thundering over our heads. So we contact maybe two people in 4 blocks... So we decide to turn back and go closer to Paris where there was better weather. So we literally had just turned around when we hear "Hermanas, Hermanas!" And suddenly there's a man there speaking Spanish to us. I think he asked if one of us spoke Spanish so sr. Bernhisel and I point directly to sr. Dechesne (did I mention she speaks fluent Spanish). So anyway she talks to him and found out that he was a member and was searching for the church so we gave him the address and he said he'd come Sunday! So that was why we needed to be there that night. Also the rest of the night so. Bernhisel tried to practice her Spanish with sr. Dechesne. I didn't understand any of it. But I spent the rest of my time perfecting my street contact. I now know how to say "hello, my name is sister farmer and I'm from the United States and I know that God loves us". So yeah, that's it... But I'm very proud for learning it

So then Saturday we had a rdv with haibo (Chinese ami) who I haven't seen since like April. We got a hold of her this past week. And we had a rdv with her and her daughter. Okay, so that was another surprising change. Her seven year old  daughter used to be super rude and bossy to her mom! Like not to be rude, but she was a brat. So it was impossible to teach them because the daughter didn't like talking about religious things. But we asked her if she prayed and she said that her daughter prayed more than she did! And her daughter actually stayed calm during the lesson. Oh my goodness it's a miracle what a little time can do for an ami!

So that was our marvelous week! I loved it! I'm starting to realize that I'm almost done here in Antony and I suddenly don't want to go because I'm seeing all these miracles happen with all my old Amis! I love the gospel, no matter what it's always true! 

Have a great week! Je vous aime! Gros bisous!
