Miracle week in Brive (Jacob-Brive la Gaillarde)

I really enjoyed this week as all the lack of teaching and amis (investigators) and success finally really came together!!  I started off the week with a nice exchange with Elder Moeller the district leader and long mission friend (he was in Cannes for my first two transfers) He is such a good example for me of a great consecrated missionary. We had a super cool miracle together that fortifié mon témoignage de le livre de mormon (strengthened my testimony of the Book of Mormon)! Il y a 4 semaines Elder Adamson et moi (Four weeks ago Elder Adamson and I, nous allions faire quelque chose (we were going to do something) et on a rencontré quelqu`un  (and we met someone) et on a parlé de how he could etre with his famille pour eternité (and we talked to him about how he can be with his family forever) and it was so cool because he était croyant mais sa femme était athée et il ne pouvait pas nous recevoir (he was believing but his wife was an aethiest so he couldn't let us in)! Alors on l'a lasser avec un livre de mormon et il l'a accepté (So we left him with a Book of Mormon and he accepted it)! But then on Tuesday with Elder Moeller we walked down down the road to start porting and we saw him looking at us and then not knowing how we knew each other, on a refait contact (we made contact with him again)! Enfin il lisait le livre de mormon et a ressenti une force d’énergie. (In fact, he has been reading the Book of Mormon and felt something strong). Il est trop cool et est venue a l'église pour un leçon Vendredi (He is too cool and came to the church for a lesson on Friday)!!

TROP COOl! Elder Adamson et moi (I) get along really well and  I can't believe how fast this transfer has passé (passed). This Friday is again calls and I am scared that we get along too well that we won't be able to stay together!

Also, we have really been pushing English class and had 6 non-members the other day for it and they all stayed for the pensée spiritual (spiritual thought)! C'était hyper cool (It was so cool)! J'aime bien la capacité des activités d'ouvrir les cœur des personnes envers l'evangile (I love how church activities can open the hearts of people towards the gospel)! Après le cours (After class) we were talking to Matthew (who has come every week and we gave him a Book of Mormon) and asked him if we could explain the book a little. En bref il a déja lu une grande partie (Hélaman, 3 Néphi, beaucoup d'autre petite parties) et qu'il voulait se joindre avec nous. (Basically, he had already read a big part of it--Helaman, 3 Nephi and and also other small parts--and he wants to join the church.) Alors (So) his baptismal date is for the 8 of March which he chose himself.

I know the gospel is true. I know that it brings happiness into our lives and that God knows us and our personal needs. I KNOW that the Book of Mormon is absolutely true and with sincere searching on peut trouver l'esprit plus evident dans nos vies (we can see the Spirit more clearly in our lives).

Please look for a way to give out a Book of Mormon to someone because it is so powerful!

Avec toute mon amour (With all my love)!!
