We had a cool miracle in the Lyon gare though. While we waited for the train we went to see if there was a piano in the gare because Sr Hiltunen is a good piano player and she happened to have some music with her. So we find the piano and there is a man playing a really complicated piece he had memorized so we wait then right after he leaves someone else gets up and also plays a really complicated piece they had memorized. After a while the piano was finally free again and I pushed Sr Hiltunen to go play. So she went and played and song about Christ i think its called "I saw him come" or something like that. Its a really nice song not complicated at all.
It was really cool to watch from my perspective because as soon as she started playing the people around were visibly much more interested. Where as before when the other people played it didn't seem like anyone around was paying attention, people were immediately much more interested. Some people came and stood closer around the piano some peoplecame and took videos and pictures a lady came and asked her who wrote the music and a drunk man was putting in requests for songs he knew. Then Sr Hiltunen started singing too! A man came up to me and asked me if we were from Lyon and if we did concerts! When she finished the song the people around clapped and thanked her for playing! The word were in English so I'm sure that they didn't quite understand that it was a song about Christ but I am convinced that the spirit touched all of their hearts.
The rest of the week was pretty normal until Friday. Friday we had a Ward activity where they watched the soccer match between France and Germany and then they had a Country night after that. We left the soccer match to go drop off some cookies at one of our amis who lives near the church. When we left it started raining just a little so we hurried over there because we didn't have our umbrellas. Our ami wasnt home so we left the cookies and went to leave. When we opened the door the apt complex to go back outside there was a wall of water waiting for us! It was pouring rain!! I have no idea how its possible for it to rain that hard. We didn't have our umbrellas and we didn't know if it would stop any time soon so we decided to make a break for it for the chapel. We got soaked! so we tried to dry off the best we could and went to the ward party. After the soccer game some people came and taught everyone how to line dance that was pertty funny to watch!
We have seen allot of miracles this week. Jean invited one of his friends to church sunday morning and he came! And his friend is going to bring a friend with him when we teach him later this week.
One of our amis cancelled our rdv for later that afternoon and later texted us saying that his friend has been reading his book of mormon and wants to learn more so they will come together to our next rdv!
Sunday we got a text from a potential investigator that was contacted almost a year ago saying that he wants to get his life on track and meet with us. We have a rdv with him today.
Later on Sunday one of our amis that we havent been able to get ahold of called us out of nowhere saying that she got a new phone number and she still wants to see us.
SO MANY MIRACLES!
You are awesome I love you so much! thank you for your example and for all that you have taught me!
