Le Miracle 6.2

....It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Toys in every store... I dont remember any other of the words. 9 Days to Christmas!!!! To say that I am stoked is an understatement.. I am so excited for Christmas! Especially here in Agen! It is a small ville but they know how to prepare for a good saison de Noël!

This week we had a lot of special wonderful things we like to call "tombez-vous" Now for those of you who dont know what that is i will gladly define it for you.. So a tombez-vous is when you set up a wonderful rendez-vous. Everything is good. We have their phone numbers and address. We have a specific time planned and an even more specific lesson planned. Now when the time arrives everything is perfect EXCEPT for one itty bitty tiny little thing... the person to teach. Ha we had 5 or 6 of those this week.. Show up and nobody is there and they of course dont answer their phones..Classic tombez-vous. I love them personally because we have to use the PLAN B but then when Plan A, B, C, and D have been exhausted and you have to quickly do a plan Z... hahah it is so fun! Well in the course of carrying out Plan Z this week... we talked to a woman named Vivian!

Vivian comes from Côte D'Ivoire. She actually was contacted my missionaries there...but she remembers our name. She is a young african mother with 2 kids. She is going to get married soon! And invited us to come over...Today! Well I just got back and it was really a good RDV. We brought our member Luka and he taught what we call the Lesson 0 with us. Lesson 0 is where we explain our purpose as missionaries and also briefly cover the Restoration. We gave her a Livre de Mormon and she was open and willing to read and pray about it before next monday! Sweet!

Elder Peters and I have decided to step up the game and have set some goals for this transfer to push us a little harder. We are both motivated to do them and accomplish more than what we wish for so I cannot wait to get to work. It is a lot of fun being here with him. I have learned much more than I feel like I've taught him.

Ha also our ami Aurore.. She is kinda funny. She is so easy to set a RDV with and they are really good lessons. The only thing is we cannot say that it is a lesson otherwise she doesnt like it and doesnt accept our teachings. However she does extra homework that we don't give her. It is pretty cool. She is not really open to baptism right now especially because she is easily influenced by anyone.. Especially her boyfriend that is scared of us? Doesnt make sense. He doesnt know who we are..But eventually I am sure she will say yes. All of her friends have slowly become members of the church....she is next.

Well I hope y'all have a wonderful week! Christmas is so soon! Love yall!
