Hey everyone! Thanks for all your birthday letters and wishes - you guys are great! I had a good week!
Monday we had a normal p-day. Nothing special except there was a problem with Elder Powelson's email. He didn't get to email so that was a kind of a bummer but we got it all worked out so it works now. Then we had a family night with the single adults. I gave the spiritual message, I shared some scriptures that I like. D&C 121: 1,7-8 and a few others. They seemed to really like it so that was good!
Tuesday we had district meeting in Arras. It was good, it was pretty much just a testimony meeting because we are in week 6 and some people are going to be leaving. Then we came back to Amiens with the Elders in Arras and we did an exchange. I was with Elder Orton again. It was lots of fun. Then all four of the missionaries went to a members house and we all ate diner over there. It was a lot of fun as well.
Wednesday we finished our exchange. Then we got cancelled on so that was a bummer, but we then dropped off some keys to this place for the old missionary couple apartment. We taught our ami with a member and that went pretty well. She is from Nigeria and its pretty hard to teach because she speaks no French and her English isn't much better. But she is reading (trying) so thats good at least she holds her engagements. Then we had a telephonic rdv with the stake presidency in Lille to work on our branch.
Thursday was a really fun day. Had had some RDVs in the morning, three actually, and every single person flaked on us so that was a pretty tough way to start the day. But then we just went contacting and it went really good. Then we did our 2nd English class and it went super well again, we talked about time, alphabet and read out of the BOM. After class a few invited us to eat at Valentin's moms house and they invited his less active sister and we got to know her so that was really good. We gave a spiritual thought on Exodus 4:10-11. Its about having trust in God.
Friday we were pretty busy so we didn't get to weekly plan. We had to go pick something up at the church in the morning. Then we went back home and finished our studies. We also went and saw a member and talked about the Spirit World because he had no idea what it was (way to go old missionaries!) Later we got caught in this GIANT rain storm, and before the storm it was so hot so I was just in a short sleeved shirt - we got soaked! Then we went home and we continued to make the plan we are doing to keep our branch together. Hopefully it works!
Saturday nothing too big happened just lots of missionary work!
Sunday we just did our weekly planning after we went to church. We started putting our plan into action this week, so we have a lot of RDVs with members so we are hoping its going to work!
Love you guys thanks for the emails!
-Elder Beck
