Actual Europa Cup

Bonjour! 
Europa Cup

This past week was fantastic. 

It started off on Tuesday when we arrived back in the train station and we saw an oddly decorated train at one of the platforms. We did a little looking around, and figured out it is a train museum for the Euro Cup. The Euro Cup
tournament will take place in France this year so the train has been going around to different train stations in France everyday.  On the inside of the train there is a marvelous free exhibition of the history of the Euro Cup. (For those who don't know the Euro Cup is exactly like the World Cup but only consists of European teams. It happens every four years alternating with the World Cup). The crowning jewel to the exhibition is the fact that the actual Euro Cup is actually on board and you can take pictures with it. As an avid soccer fan, this was one of the coolest moments of my life. Haha.


On Thursday we threw a barbecue for the branch. It was such a great success. We had around 40 people there. We ate good food, socialized, and played lots of different sports together. The branch president loved it so much that he decided to make it an event that happens every year.

On Saturday we got transfer news.... and I am staying in Tours with Elder Johnson. I was really excited to stay because I feel like the work here in Tours is just beginning to boom. If all goes well with our investigators, I will get to be apart of at least two baptisms this transfer and I couldn't be more excited for that.


As far as the progression of our investigators go, nothing huge happened this week. We saw Bouchaïb a few times this week and he told us that the Book of Mormon is truth that comes from God. Xuantao is doing great as well. He has committed to see us more often and we refined his baptismal date for June 4. Maxime is still searching diligently for the truth and Herve has made some great progress as well. 

Life is wonderful! 
Love y'all. 
Have a great week. 
God bless, 
GoStars, 
and Happy Mother's Day.
