Protests slow the buses

Bonjour! 

I hope everyone is doing well. I think this past week can be described using the word "protest". 

In France, when people are upset, they get the urge to gather in large groups and walk down main streets and protest about what they don't like. Well this past week there was a ton of them and it gets quite annoying when the public transport system gets shut down for a little bit because of them.  I read a stat the other day, and I don't have it with me right now, but it was something like 250+ protests in just the Tours area alone, in 2015. One of the protests this week was held by students in the communist party.

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Despite the annoying protests we got some solid work done this week.
Made these for Mother's Day for the women in our ward.

All of our investigators are progressing really well. We got through all the missionary lessons with Hervé! It's amazing how quick someone can soak up the gospel. We started teaching him May 1 and then got through all the lessons by the 25th. So we will continue to visit him and help strengthen his testimony till he is ready to be baptized. He reads the scriptures and prays so I have no doubt his answer will come. We saw Peti one time this week and he is doing amazing. He said he wants to get baptized but before that he just wants to know all that is required of him to be a true disciple of Christ. So we went through the baptismal interview questions with him and he was cool with the all! Hopefully it is now just a matter of time before he becomes baptized. Bouchaïb is just classic Bouchaïb. We helped him understand the importance of Thomas S Monson, repentance, and church attendance this week. He is making progress and will be ready by June 18th  for baptism. Xuantao took his final test ever this week and we got to see him on Sunday. He is doing really well. Now that school is over he will have a lot more time for us (hopefully).

Have a wonderful week! Love y'all! God bless
