Week 19 in the Field

"We were invited over to a french member's house for dinner... we finished the main course and Sister talec was asking if we wanted any more, so I was like 'non, pas maintenant, mais c'est correct' So, 'Now, not now, but it's all good.' Which definitely confused her, but then she realized I was saying that I didn't want anymore and then asked elder freeze if he wanted anymore. What he was trying to say in English was 'No, I'm ok.' But what he said in French was 'Je suis d'accord' which means 'I agree.' Ha so we all busted up laughing and giving him a hard time. It was an awkward night for us missionaries. Oh and then also - so Elder Freeze doesn't eat very much and so they were making a joke of how we would say thank you for me I would say 'merci beaucoup' (thanks a lot) but elder freeze would say 'merci pas beaucoup' (Thanks not a lot).

"So it was really neat this week because we found several new investigators and a fair amount of potentials. And at least 2 of the new investigators we found accepted a soft commitment to baptism! Their names are Zach and Brittany - he's 19 and she is around 16. It was cool during the lesson because we were teaching it and talking about how if they would read the book of mormon, they would come to know the truth of it and know that if that is true - that everything else is true too. Ha Zach asked a great question 'So Where can I get a book like this one (he had my copy of the book of mormon in his hands)?' So we definitely gave him one and then Brittany (his sister) had mentioned that she wasn't a good reader - so she asked him if he would read it to her! That was great!

"this past Tuesday we had President and Sister Cannon at our house for Interviews and just to see us. It was the first time that they had seen the apartment and so we made sure it was really clean. It was really nice of them too because they brought us some bagels! They were really good. It was really neat too because Sister Cannon was feeling a bit under the weather and so we were asked to give her a blessing. I annointed and E Freeze gave the Blessing. After that, Sister Cannon told me that that was the first time that Elders had given her a blesssing. That was a neat experience for all of us."
