We actually had a decently busy week. We visited Mado with our Branch President, and it was probably the best rendez-vous I've ever had with her. She's a less-active member we've been visiting about once a week since I've been here. She comes to church most weeks, but she doesn't have that strong of a testimony. We read the BoM with her and gave her a couple conference talks to read later. The rdv was super spiritual, and she called us the next day to tell us she'd read the talks that morning, and they warmed her heart. She's so sweet!
We also met an old ami we hadn't met before. His name's Xavier, and he used to have a baptismal date at some point. We went over to his house and talked for a bit. Turns out he didn't want to get baptized because he didn't have a testimony of the BoM. Which is probably the best reason there is. We're going to try and help him out, but the member who drove us there, Frère Kebail, came in clutch (as Président Sorensen would say). He told his conversion story and how he felt the Spirit testify to him. Moral of the week: members are the key to a good rendez-vous.
On the way to another rdv, we were having trouble with the buses, so we were stuck at this one stop for a good while. But the Lord blessed us for trying, someone came up and started talking to us! His name is Ioan, and he was interested in the Book of Mormon, so we're going to try and get him one in Romanian sometime this week so he can have the chance to read it. So even though our other rdv fell through, we still had a productive outing. And that's what's important, being where He needs us to be so He can put people in our path.
Joyeux Noël !
