New companion
Hey everyone,
I had a super good week! Tuesday was Elder Bayers last day in Auxerre. The Judas family invited us over to eat with other choice members in the branch. They made us really good food. We ate fish! First time on my mission! After we watched Ephraims Rescue. Then that night we went to Marcs house and gave him a NY hat, and he loved it!
Wednesday I said good bye to Elder Bayer, then picked up my new companion in Paris. It was super cool getting to see all the missionaries. My new comp. Elder Dayley is from Highland Utah and he is a super nice kid. That night me and Elder Dayley found a new ami on the train ride home to Auxerre. Got home and went porting and prayed to find what ville we should go to. We went to a small town called Appoingny and I got let in porting for the first time in France!!!!! We taught a lady with a family. She has a little 9 year old boy and a 7 year old girl and they are really cute! Also we taught Tsiry that day and had to re fix her baptisimal date because the ZLs didn't have enough time to interview her.
Thursday we went contacting and taught a guy on the road. Then we had a branch meeting. The branch was really happy to meet the new guy! Then we tried contacting a guy who lived really far away, but he didn't live there anymore so we contacted in a really small, pretty tiny ville. Went porting at the Appoingny place again but didn't find anybody.
Friday we got some really good kebabs. Did a long session of transfer planning. The people in the office goofed up and had us try something with our phone which ended up just breaking it! So we didn't have a phone for like 5 hours until they figured out how to fix it. Then we picked up food from a recent converts house. It was African food so it was so different from what I'm used to. We watched Saratov Approach at the night time.
Saturday we went contacting in the morning and got cancelled on 2 times that day. We went to Tsirys house and went over the baptismal questions. We watched the Joseph Smith movie. Then I had a feeling to try and go see Dunez. We called and he didn't answer. So I kinda gave up, but still had the feeling. So we went over to his house, he let us in and we wasn't doing good at all. Like super sick so we gave him a blessing! Then I found out why the Lord wanted me to go over there! Then I cut Elder Dayleys hair.
Sunday was awesome. We went to church. And guess what.. we had 21 people at church. Dats right. 21. That's like almost a ward right ;). We had some help from memebers, but still. That's a lot, we had to find more chairs haha. Tsiry brought her kids. It was awesome. Church was good though. Me and Elder Dayley taught 15 lessons this week! Which is really abnormal for the first week. We taught that family on Sunday that we found porting her name is Veronique taught her the first lesson. We went contacting and they were setting up for a firework show. They were blaring M83, it made my day. That night time there was a giant fire work show because its Frances version of the 4th of July today! So yep that's my week. Church is true. Amen
