To Paris With Love

Week # 24

Friday...best day of my mission

 This week was AWESOME!!! Ok so on Tuesday it was District Meeting! The DL told us to get on the wrong bus so we got lost for like 2 hours haha. In the biggest rain storm I have ever seen! Then we had the Meeting and it was only 10 minutes long... After it was an elder in our districts birthday so he bought everyone Domino's Pizza!!! It was so good! Then we came home and went porting and had a door step lesson with a dude that has a beard down to his pants and he was only like 26... its was crazy. Wednesday Elder Guymon wasn't feeling too good and neither was Elder Bailys companion.. So me and Elder Bailey went on an exchange! We taught a lesson to an 11 year old girl who got baptized on Saturday! Then Guymon started feeling better so we left with Patrick and visited less active people. When we went to one families house they looked out the door and she yelled at her husband to hurry and put out their smokes! haha. So sneaky. We visited another family after them. We talked about the resurrection with both families. Thursday we went and did porting for like 2 hours.. Everyone was mad for some reason! Then we went contacting and it was the same thing.. idk why. Everyone was just in a bad mood that day! Then we had DMP meeting so we fixed a bunch of lessons with people for the next week! And Elder Guymon gave Patrick a hair cut! Friday was a really cool day! We got a call from a lady in France who used to be in this ward asking if we could go to the hospital and bless her father! So we did and we talked to him for a while and he said he had read the Book of Mormon all the way through!!! And he said we wants to go to the temple someday! He was a super cool guy! He wants to start coming to church after his surgery! Then we just did good ol' weekly planning!   After that we realized that we are all going to be leaving soon! So then we all went and ate out at this Chinese Buffet place and it was really good!!! On the way home we saw a GIANT drug bust!!! There were soooo many police officers! The picture I got though was terrible. Saturday was probably the best day on my mission! So we started off the day by going to Patricks.  There is an RM staying with him right now. We was a pretty nice dude. We all ate lunch together! After we went to a families house named the Mulongos! They are a really cool family and the dad speaks English! Long story short they both want to be baptized ASAP. They asked if they could get baptized that day! It was so cool! We gave the wife a blessing! The spirit was so strong! Then we taught the family with the 9 year old who isn't a member. He just straight up asked if he is ready and wanting to get baptized. He said YES!!! Asap as well! But only with him and his brother, dad, bishop, and us. Which is totally fine! So 3 people asking to get baptized in one day! Not bad right?! Then we went to an actual baptism and both of our amis families came!  After the baptism we got picked up at the church from a family that we reactivated. We ate at their house and taught allll of their huge family! They are my favorite family to teach they are sooo awesome and funny! Sunday was another awesome day! It was fast Sunday and the first 2 meetings were normal nothing special. But the testimony meeting was awesome! The girl that we reactivated bore her testimony. She said that when she came to church that we were really nice to her and stuff and that we set a really good example for her and now she is starting to prepare for a mission! And as of 6 weeks ago she hadn't had contact with the church in like 3 years!!! It was so cool! After that we talked to one of our amis that came to church. His name is Piempie he is a funny old dude!  After that we just went to Patricks and ate then went porting for long time! BUT coolest part of this email!!! Drum Roll....... I GOT TRANSFERRED!!! To Auxerre France!! I leave Wednesday morning! My new comps name is Elder Bayer! I heard he is really cool! Can't wait to go!! Love you guys thanks for your emails!!
