WE HAD A BAPTISM! And it was pretty good:) And we got a new Ami:) Had stake conference and french burger king!
Let me start off with the least important of that all the burger king haha:) It was GIANT! The sandwiches here are massive and I don't understand why but like they are still good so not complaining:) But we went to burger king kind of last minute to meet up with an old ami who had been at Paris and came back to Poitiers for a few days. It was great! We then saw him the next day for a rendezvous and are going to start helping find his testimony by just reading the book of mormon with him.
He has basically had all the lessons multiple times so that is where we are at. He wants it to be true, he just needs to figure out the importance of it all in his life because for him right now, he thinks it is not as important as it really is... Its your salvation! But we will get him there:)
Next we had piano class like always and that was great! We had six people come so we split them up into two groups to teach separately because there were 3 returning students and 3 new students so yeah different levels but it went pretty well and they all want to come back again this week!:)
We road tripped down to Bordeaux with some members for Stake conference and that was amazing, they had a seventy who grew up in the Bordeaux Stake and his talk was amazing. He talked about how we learn that with the gospel you can make ordinary men, extraordinary! And how missionaries can work with the wards through the interregional plan but inviting friends to church:) It was wonderful!
And that night President took us all out to eat at HFC, which is like KFC but with an H. Super funny and really good:) The next day was Sunday and we finished up stake conference in a gorgeous giant conference center and
then we went to the church for our baptism! We had some members from other wards come and another investigator which was great:) Our ami Beatrix has been investigating the church since January and she had
been waiting to be baptized for a while now because of a mixup with her legality, turns out she was able to get baptized and after lots of looking and planning with our branch counsel we fixed this day after the stake conference and everything just fell into place and it was amazing:)
Beatrix fasted the day of her baptism and has one of the strongest testimonies I have ever seen. She was so happy afterwards she was just crying. It was beautiful and I am so happy for her:) She finally has found her place she said. And the best part is even if she leaves France she will always have the church, no matter where she is!
This week was crazy but it was great and next week Beatrix will be confirmed and it is just all wonderful:) I hope you all are having a great start to your summers! Love you!
