Sorry I haven't been really good at taking pictures lately and Emails have been really crazy lately so I haven't had time to upload them either.
Okay I got Jordans email so I should be able to figure it out. Unfortunately I still dont know when exactly what time I will call you guys... but we have church from 9-12 so it would absolutely earliest be at 2pm here. I will let you know when I know.
As of right now we still haven't found anyone to help our foreign amis. But even though we haven't found anyone they are still progressing well. We have been discovering that eventhough one of them speaks and understands english really well he has a hard time understanding us because we talk too fast sometimes. Im sure that is an american attribute. But the last time we taught him we really tried to pay attention to how we were speaking and he was able to understand allot more easily.
Jean has a baptismal date for the 17th. I think he will be ready :)
We have some other amis that are doing pretty good too.
We found a girls this week that had been taught a little by the missionaries in the past and she agreed to meet with us again. She is really nice.. We saw her twice this week and the second time her boyfriend was there and we taught him too. Hopefully he wants to learn more as well :)
Funny thing from this week: We were teaching the law of Chastity to one of our amis, we started out with the scripture 3 Nephi 12:27-29 and then my companion said"today we want to talk about the law of adultery" i and the member we were with quickly corrected it to the law of chastity and laughed for a good little bit before we got the lesson going again. haha
Tomorrow we are going to Montpillier to do an Exchange. It will be interesting to go back there again.
My spiritual though for you this week is a mix of a bunch of things I've been thinking about lately...1-read preach my gospel. Elder Ballard said to in Conference. 2-Missionary work is most effective when the members work WITH the missionaries. It really kinda hit me this week of how true that is and why that is. Because these investigators need a support system to keep them going otherwise they will fall away and that is not the purpose of missionary work. 3-Love is super important! It doesn't have to be big things but just showing that you care about people more then just saying hi can make a world of difference for members, less actives, investigators, and even strangers.
Contemplate the role of Love in the plan of salvation. It was created by love, accomplished by love and we are redeemed by love.
Well I Love you allot! I will be sure to send a quick note when I know what time we will be calling.
