Monday I had my first p-day in Tours! Sadly we didn't get to do much sight seeing, but there are a lot of castles in our sector so hopefully I will be able to visit some pretty cool things. We just went shopping for a bit. Elder Gee, Elder Player, and Elder Powelson have all bought the same suit as me now! We went to the church to do some emails, but the wifi wasn't working so I barley got to email anyone so that was a bummer.
Tuesday was fun we had district meeting in a ville called Le Mans. We had to wake up at 5h30 to get there which wasn't fun. Then we had our district meeting - it was on fixing goals and it was well done. Then for our zone we created a "finding bucket list" personalized for companionships in our zone, we are hoping that it'll be successful and help them stretch. If anyone is interested in seeing one of the bucket lists let me know I can forward you one. Then we went on an exchange in Alencon and there are 3 Elders there for the moment. I went with the district leader ,he is a good dude and our exchange went super well. We contacted 3 people the whole time and taught every single person and got all their phone numbers and with some return appointments. Then we called a potential investigator after dinner and he said we could come over and meet with him. He goes by Lil' Charles and at first we were kind of like "we don't really know what to think about this guy" but he ended up to be super cool. He is from Nigeria and he raps haha (in English) but he is also super spiritual and interested. We invited him to be baptized (on the fist rdv) and he said he would pray to ask Heavenly Father what day he'd like him to be baptized! Which is super awesome because Alencon hasn't had a baptism in 5 years! I was really glad to be apart of that.
Wednesday we finished our exchange with the Alencon Elders and took a train home right after our studies. When we got home it was about 2-ish and we took lunch then we went out contacting. We found a sweet new ami, he is a professional dancer and was super nice. Then we took dinner and after that did some pass-backs and porting.
Thursday we went to Blois district meeting in Orleans. Orleans is a super pretty ville, I was amazed! We were in a pretty big hurry though, so sadly we didn't really get to see anything other than the chapel haha. But the district meeting was good. The district leader is from Kentucky and he is a pretty funny guy. Then we headed home and we just did some finding and tried checking things off our bucket lists. Then at night we tried seeing some less actives but no one was home!
Friday was a super busy day. We had a RDV right after our studies, but we tried going to the train station to catch our train there because he lives about 30 minutes away from Tours, but there was a problem and we missed our train! We just returned our tickets and got new ones and we are going to visit him later. Then we visited that guy we found on Wednesday he was super cool! The RDV went super well. Then we had our DMP meeting. After that we headed straight for the church because we had an RDV and the guy that we were suppose to meet there (after we confirmed with him twice) cancelled 1 minute before... so then we took a bus home and did a little contacting.
Saturday we had another RDV in the boonies first thing in the morning at a place called Chateaux du Loir, its amazingly tiny. The people we visited are eternal investigators and they were interesting to say the least. They didn't really want to be taught so I think that will be the last time I go over there. Then after that we visited our ami Max who is super sweet. He had some pretty difficult questions we had to answer (about Brigham Young, Kolob, DNA evidence of the Book of Mormon, Plural marriage) things like that... We didn't get to teach him what we wanted, but our RDV still went really good because we answered every single one of his questions and it went good and he told us he wants to be baptized so hopefully that'll happen soon!
Sunday was a good day. I got to meet one of my Aunt Jenna's friends named Rachel. Her and her husband, are super cool. I am really excited to get to know them. We had a lot of visitors this week at church. An American family came to "visit" but it turned they actually own a Castle here in Tours! They said they'd invite us over to come eat with them before they leave so I'm really looking forward to that! The rest of the day was pretty boring just weekly planning and zone stuff!
Thanks for all yours emails everyone! Thanks for your prayers and your support it means a lot!
