Week 23 (Dunkerque)

Another week, another email!

This was actually a really good week as far as finding new people goes. There was one night where we went door to door and talked to so many cool people! A lot of them were pretty interested in our message, so we'll be able to come back sometime and tell them more! It was crazy though how many people were open to talk with us, we'd never seen anything like it, much less in Dunkerque.

We also had our exchange this week. I went with Elder Graham; he's from Utah, and this is his first transfer in France. He had to wait for his visa for a transfer in New York though, so he's not as young as he seems. We had a great time. Neither of us speak that great of French yet, so it was interesting. We were knocking on this one door, and then the people answered from the 3rd story window! We could barely communicate because of the distance (and our level of French) so we had no idea what was going on. A man ended up coming to the window, saying something, and then disappearing back inside. We didn't know what he said, but when he looked out the window again, he dumped a bowl of water down at us! Luckily, it mostly missed us, so we weren't wet. But we did understand him that time!

But even out here in Dunkerque, we're still finding people who are looking for the gospel. We might not be teaching very often, but when we diligently search, we can find people who want to listen. And the same goes for anybody, God wants to help us with our righteous endeavors, so if we ask for help, He definitely will! He just wants us to have the faith to ask.

À plus!

One more food photo. "We found peanut butter! This stuff's rare, I hadn't seen it in a store until now."

Pretty sure this is him on the slackline.
