New P-Day Rules

Bonjour! This past week was another busy one. We actually only got to spend a few days in Amiens. 

Biggest Cathedrale in France

It started off on Thursday when we had to go to Lille to buy all the food for Zone Conference the next day. We decided to do baguette sandwiches. I have never bought so much meat and cheese in my life. Haha. The good news is we got all the leftovers so grocery shopping is going to be cheap for the next couple of weeks. We slept over that night in Arras and then went back to Lille in the morning for Zone Conference. It went really well. It was all about the new missionary schedule and stuff. Ill save the details (you can find those on Mormon newsroom), but the big news is pday starts at 8, lunches are now only 30 minutes, and studies can be moved around during the day. They are trying to give us more freedom to follow the spirit in our missionary work. Risky, but it might just work. Haha. 

Saturday was spent in Arras helping the members do a less active finding day. That went really well. I got to meet some pretty cool members.

 

One of the brighter spots of the week was with a man named Jefferson. He speaks Portuguese and a little bit of French. His mother, who is not a member, translates for him during appointments. He use to be a missionary for his church and is super knowledgeable in the Bible and was having a hard time understanding authority. Elder Manny and I planned the most incredible plan of salvation lesson for him and then pulled it off. After about an hour and a half in the appointment of battling it out over the Bible, and lots of intense work from the Holy Ghost, he decided he wanted to get baptized. We are going to be fasting with him to choose an exact date soon. It was honestly one of the most spiritual lessons I had. 

Oh yeah we also went ice skating for pday. That was super fun and I am getting pretty good. Can someone call the Stars and tell them I will be suiting up next year?

That's all for now folks. Have a terrific week. God Bless.
