Week # 62
           Safe and sound


Tuesday we had district meeting. It was fun I gave it on finding and gave everyone a finding bucket list it was pretty legit. 2 Elders weren't there because they had to do legality stuff. They came for the last part though. Then we taught this dude at the church. Then Elder Brockbank and I went to this Peruvian families house and had a fiesta, it was legit. They had a guitar!

Wednesday was super sweet. We did some finding in the morning then we taught some English speaking dude just in front the apartment. Then we went and taught our favorite ami Louis in a Starbucks at La Défance because he lives right there. Then he walked us to his appartment- it's super nice he lives in a hotel / apartment building. We talked about faith and hope. Gave him some scriptures to read. By the way we teach him in English because he speaks both languages fluently. And he speaks Arabic. He's super smart. At the end of the RDV he told us that he has a seasons pass to Disney Land Paris and that he could take us for super cheap at this time of the year. So I called President and asked if we could go with him...he said no...I was super bummed I wanted to go so bad haha. Then we went to the church to teach this dude I think he was not all there because he could not find our church to save his life! Then just went to ward council. 

Thursday in the morning (mom don't freak out...haha) we were in the apartment and we hear like a bunch of people yelling and freaking out. I look out the window literally right in front of our apartment  there is a huge gang fight going on. Like crowbars, knifes, bats, and 2 guns! So I was like 'whoah crap get away from the windows!' I called President and let him know...he is currently looking for a new apartment for us :)  lol. Then after that just did normal missionary work.

Friday was pretty sketchy in front of our apartment as well. There is this maintenance building and these homeless people broke into them and started living in them. The cops found out and kicked them out. They had like machine guns and stuff and were yelling at them! Weird way to start the day. Then after that we get a text from President saying to pay lots of attention to your surroundings and where you are because it is expected that France will be having more terrorist attacks... so keep me in your prayers plz! Then we had to escort the Sisters to this sketchy ville so they could teach an ami. We then knocked some doors out there.

Saturday nothing too big happened, we just weekly planned. The metro we always go on was shut down for construction so that stunk! Then we taught Evelyn and her 3 kids. They all four have baptismal dates for the 14th of February! They are so solid too! 

Sunday was chill we had some amis there and church went well - the classes were actually normal! We gave the Sister from New Zealand a blessing. Elder Brockbank and I went taught some people on the road towards the end of the day. We taught 5 people just on the streets it was sweet! 

That's my week for you guys! Love you and thanks for your prayers! 
Love,
Elder Beck
