47 Street Lessons










Park in Reims

Bonjour!



This past week was really a fun week. As a District we decided
to set the goal of hitting 45 lessons in the street, which is about
double of the mission average, so we were on the streets a whole lot
but it was fun. To help with the efforts, Elder Silva and I decided to
eat nothing but Ratatouille during week, and as wonderful of an idea
as we thought that would be, by Sunday we were dying for some other
food. Haha. We ate somewhere around 15 kilograms of vegetables, and a
lot of couscous during the week for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It
was good but I don't think I will be touching ratatouille for at least
a month. Haha.

One cool little miracle we had while contacting  we met a jolly
black man who hadn't seen missionaries for 10 years that wanted to be
taught. He said he had been reading the Book of Mormon and that he
knows it comes from God. Hopefully we will be able to help him
progress in the gospel.

On Saturday we went to Reims to attend the sister's multicultural
night. I gave another amazing presentation about the great state of
Texas and I got them all to sing "Deep in the Heart of Texas". They
all know how to say howdy and y'all as well. Haha. It was a lot of
fun.

Sunday the national bocci ball tournament was going on in Charleville.
Yeah, I know, Charleville is really getting famous. Haha. Silva and I
went and watched a couple matches. It was a lot of fun. If there is
one thing we can take from the French culture it would be bocci ball.
It is such a fun game and doesn't take much effort. I can envision it
now, bocci ball at college football tailgates, haha.

In other news, if any of y'all remember Hervé from when I was serving
Tours, he is getting baptized this weekend.

Oh yeah, we were able to surpass our goal and hit 47 other lessons.
That was a really good feeling after lots of hard work throughout the
week.

Our presentation
Hope everyone has a wonderful week. God Bless
