This week has been interesting. I got my my new companion, Soeur Thompson, she is in her 9th transfer. It has been really hard leaving Nice and being in a new area. We got to our new apartment and it was a wreck. There were earwigs crawling around in the bathroom and in the fridge I found bowls of old cream and food sooo moldy. Just mold spilling out all over. So we spent some good time cleaning the apartment building. I felt a lot better after our apartment was clean.
I am so grateful
for my Heavenly Father who has been with me every step of this mission. Each
ville I leave different people behind, but my Heavenly Father is my loyal
companion and I am so grateful for him. Yesterday night I just poured out my
heart to him as a said my prayers. And I heard his gentle voice telling me, yes
I am still here. And asking me, do you STILL trust me?
This morning I read
a scripture that gave me a lot of comfort.
3 Nephi 13:28-34
28 And why take ye
thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field how they grow;
they toil not, neither do they spin;
30 Wherefore, if
God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is
cast into the oven, even so will he clothe you, if ye are not of little
faith.
31 Therefore take
no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal
shall we be clothed?
32 For your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek
ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things
shall be added unto you.
34 Take
therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the
things of itself. Sufficient is the day unto the evil thereof.
Me and My New Companion Soeur Thomson
Soeur Thompson makes really good curry and zucchini !
I will tell you
that the work here seems really amazing though. There are students allll over
the place. It is exciting and also less glitzy than good ol Nice. There are 4
main trams that can basically take you all over Montpellier. They are decorated
really fun with flowers and birds and stuff so that's fun. Each tram has a
different theme. I still need to wear my coat around and even though I'm pretty
close to the ocean, I can't see the ocean. But ça va... i was way to spoiled in
Nice. The members here are really cool too. I am trying to talk to them at
church and stuff and not hold back. But I also know I just need to be patient and
give it some time.
New Zone Leaders: Elder Osborn and Elder Nelson....both super cool!
I saw this African
lady with two small children get off the tram the other night. I thought...
ahhh I want to talk to her so bad. But then she walked off. As we were waiting
for our next tram, I felt someone small bump into me. And it was her 5 year old
son trying to walk backwards. Haha! I saw the African woman again and she
apologized for her kid bumping into me. But I laughed, told her it was fine,
and started taking to her. We both got on the tram and she told us she loves
the word of God. We were like... SWEET we love the word of God too. She gave us
her number and we are meeting her this Saturday! Cool miracle. We also
have our amis, Christine and Favour we are working with so that has been fun to
meet with some progressing amis.
Thank you for your
love my dear family. I love you so much.
Love, Soeur
