'Sup toute le monde!
How is everyone doing? Fantastic I hope :)

This week in Albi was a blast for sure! We got 4 new Amis! Woot woot!
I guess I should start at the beginning :)

Monday:
Monday we got to have a lunch appointment at the Bernardi's house! I
always love those.. We had to go over because Sandy (the mom) does
this thing called "magnetism" where she can tell how your body and
spirit are and she can tell you what's wrong...? I dunno.. She says
that I'm perfect and don't need it, which has only happened to her one
time before me! So go me! Haha but I guess Souer Van Loon needed it..
So we went and got it done for her and apparently it helps? I dunno
haha to each their own.

Tuesday:
Tuesday we got to contact a bit, look at an apartment, and work on the
area book. We also taught English class. I love teaching English
class. It's a blast! We are currently planning a 4th of July party and
its going to be epic! So if anyone has any favorite 4th of July
recipes or traditions, let me know! I would love to get some more
ideas :)

Wednesday:
Wednesday we got to teach a church headquarter referral named Axel.
He's so cool! Apparently he had met with the missionaries 4 years ago,
and even had a baptismal date but he couldn't quit smoking so they
dropped him and he lost contact with the church. But he remembers
everything, and asked us what he needed to do to be baptized! He said
he will be coming to church each Sunday because he feels that It will
give him the strength to quit smoking. He's already down from 20
cigarettes to 5 each day! And he asked for us to find someone to give
him a blessing to help him stop! He's so ready and I'm excited to
teach him! He committed to reading and praying daily, but we would
love your prayers for him too :)

Thursday:
Thursday we had interviews with president! Can I just say, President
is one of my favorite people on the earth! He told me that I get to
stay in Albi for a long time... Haha he also basically read everything
on my mind and told me lots of things I didn't know about myself! Like
he told me that I don't need to feel pressured to go to a school like
BYU that where ever I go the lord will bless me. It was WAY cool and
he answered so many prayers.

Friday:
Friday we got to teach a new ami named Mark. He is one of Cynthia's
friends. He's cool. He was receptive to the lessons and at the end I
was able to testify to him about the Book of Mormon and promise him
that If he would read the book with a sincere heart he would feel that
this was the true church and he would understand easily what he was
reading. He was actually really surprised with that promise.. Haha we
finished our lesson by having him pray. It was his first prayer and it
was the sweetest prayer I've heard in a long time. He was very sincere
and I know that if he will keep that, he will get those blessings
promised. It was probably one of the most powerful moments on my
mission. The spirit was like a flood over everyone! So cool :)

Saturday and Sunday:
We taught Juan Saturday. We were hoping to commit him to baptism but
like usual, the opposition kicked in and we were unable to. He even
told us he needs some time to think about the church.. But he asked
for a blessing! We of course told him that we would try and find
someone to do that. The only slight problem is that he speaks Spanish.
So we looked everywhere around us and no one could. So we prayed and
felt like we needed to call him. During that call Soeur Van Loon
promised him that if he would come to a world wide conference in
Toulouse with us he would get that blessing. He said he would come,
and he did even though he didn't have much money and driving that far
is expensive. After the blessing, we tried to find someone who speaks
Spanish and turns out that just one person there spoke Spanish besides
Juan! And that guy wasn't planning on coming but had a feeling he
needed to go. #miracle so he was able to go and give Juan a blessing.
It was beautiful and Juan said it was exactly what he needed. He went
away glowing and smiling.
The conference was for members and was in French.. So I didn't get
much out of it because they spoke too fast haha but what I did get is
that the gospel is the answer to all our problems! Beautiful right? :)
I would just like to add my testimony that the gospel is the source of
lasting happiness on the earth today. It is also the way to lasting
happiness after this life. Every good thing I have in this life is all
thanks the the gospel.

Je vous aime! Soyez forte et bonne courage avec tout.

Big bisous from France,

Weekly Scripture:
3 Nephi 22: 7
I love this scripture! We are truly never alone! Thanks to the
atonement of Jesus Christ all is possible!
Recently I've been studying Grace and I have a talk I would like to
challenge you to read. It's called Receiving Divine Assistance through
the Grace of the Lord by Gene R. Cook. It's amazing!!
