Week 64 (Les Lilas)

This week was more amazing than normal, we had a temple visit and a baptism!

We brought our friend Pacome to the temple on Friday, and it was incredible. We all felt the Spirit so strong. We showed him around the gardens and the Visitor's Center and explained why we have temples and what we do in them. He loved it! And now we're setting a date with him for his baptism.

Speaking of baptism, we had one in our ward on Saturday. The other Elders' friend Reza was baptized and confirmed this weekend! He's a great guy and loves the gospel, and his plan is to baptize his whole family!

Neat miracle that we had this week, we were trying to find someone to come with us to see Annie, a member in the ward. We called the people who normally helped us out, they weren't free. We called other people we thought could help. They weren't free either. Then we got desperate the morning of the rendez-vous, calling every male member we could think of. Nobody. Then as we were losing hope, someone called us back! So we were able to go after all. It goes to show that God really does watch over us and prepares a way for us to succeed. Even if it's a bit tough getting there.

Bon courage!

Every missionary's favorite street. I found out that it is in Versailles, near the temple
