Week 97 (Amiens)

Happy Easter Monday! Apparently it's a thing here in France.

But I hope you all had an amazing Easter Sunday as well! It's such a great time of the year, especially when we get to celebrate Christ's resurrection. We had quite a few video calls yesterday to talk about it with various people. We had Sunday School with the Branch, then we called a few of our friends to have pseudo sacrament meetings with them.

We also had the worldwide fast this week! It was really cool to unite as children of God to fast and pray to overcome this trial together. There were lots of people who joined a Facebook group for it, many of which are not members of the Church! It's amazing how we can all come together in face of difficulties despite our differences.

And despite the quarantine, we were still able to have a virtual temple tour with one of our friends, Célia. It was so neat to have the spirit of the temple even in our current situation. If all goes well, she's planning on being baptized at the end of the month!

I'll leave you with a scripture that the Europe Area Presidency sent us this week. Even though we can't leave our apartments for now, they pointed out how the Lord tells us to send our testimonies there were we can't go!
D&C 84:62

Bonne continuation!
