Week #54
Elder Cook
Hello everybody!
Tuesday was a good day! So in the morning and afternoon it was pretty hard, we contacted for 5 hours and no one talked to us. Then at night time we did some porting and more contacting - we taught 3 people and met some really cool people on the road. We ported this building with all English speaking Africans (this building comes into play later in the week).
Wednesday was EPIC. So we got this referral from the church named Iren Man (no lie, a legit referral and sounds like Iron Man) and we had an RDV with him at St. Denis. On our way there we met this guy named Caesar he was really cool. He said he would come to church (spoiler alert he didn't) but anyway there was a big accident on the trains and it took Iren Man an hour to show up...so we waited outside the train station next to four Jehovas Witnesses for an hour and it was freezing! I wanted to peace out super bad. But then he shows up with his friend named Sam. We take them to the church in Paris on the Road St Merri and we teach them and it's all in English they don't speak French. We taught the Restoration and it went super good and the spirit was really strong. Then ...drum roll... we fixed 2 baptismal dates with them for the 28th of December! First RDV it was really cool. I felt like I was in Mexico for a second;) But I don't remember what else happened that day, other than 10 Elders stayed the night in our apartment because of what happened Thursday...
Thursday was awesome as well Elder Cook the apostle came to our mission and spoke to us! We had to wake up at 5 am though so that kinda stunk. Elder Cook talked for about 5 minutes about the Spirit, then he just opened up the conference for question and answer session. Only one person got to ask a question because it was really hard question to answer, but he did a good job. He was a super nice guy. Also the WHOLE mission was together all 300 missionaries. That hasn't been done for like 10 years! So I got to see everyone that was cool. After we ate at a members house and taught one of the sister's amis.
Friday we did some good ole' weekly planning. We also found this cool lady named Patricia. Then we went to La Défence to teach this guy named Billy. It took us forever to find him but when we did we taught him the Restoration on the top of the stairs of the Grande Arch - it was pretty cool at night time. I would send a pic but I have no room. It was a good lesson as well!
Saturday we had samedi sports. Then we ate. Elder Karl was in Paris so we ate with him so that was cool. We met this cool family from Versailles that aren't members, but they asked if we could teach them.Then we taught Betty with our DMP. We had to move her date though because she hasn't been taught everything just yet. Its for 7th of December! So pray that it goes through.
Sunday was pretty crazy. So 6 amis said they would come to church...one came (Betty) so she's my favorite. Then when the second hour rolled around they asked me to give the lesson with a 2 second heads up. So Elder Brockbank and I taught the lesson. We just did the Restoration. Then in sacrament this guy bore his testimony (because he was asked to share his testimony for a little bit because he was moving) for 45 minutes!! It was crazy. All the Amis fell asleep. haha. Then we did some work.
Today! We went to the Sacre Cœur it's probably one of my favorite sights in Paris. We didn't get to go on top, but it was still cool.
Love you guys thank for everything you do for me!
