Week 37: Opposition in all things

This week was a nice little testimony to two very big facts about being a member. There is opposition in all things, equal opposition to all the good things and that two just because we are members does not mean we have less problems than anyone else.

This week was crazy and we have had opposition from just everywhere and in between. But at the same time a lot of miracles and its kind of funny to see it all just black and white in the same like not even half hour sometimes.

We have had amis get to sick to come to church, lots of tombe vous, some weirdos, and of course I ended up in the ER for seven hours because french hospitals:p

To start that off I got my finger stuck in a car door but it isn't broken and will heal within the next few days which is a great miracle because it was a pretty shade of black at the beginning but after we taught our lesson that we had been driven too and I looked at it, super swollen but a nice pinky skin color:)

Its funny how Satan and God work at the same time, one trying to stop us and the other helping us. It is crazy to see it all sometimes just happen in front of us and we aren't able to do much except be patient and wait for everything to work out and have faith. Lots of faith.

We have been able to find more people on the streets and in the parks to teach and every single person we talk to is a miracle. Gods hand is like magic and it is amazing to see how he helps each and every one of his children.

One really fun thing we did this week was we went to a Tongan families house to celebrate their birthdays and teach lessons to their nonmember kids:) It was so fun, and I love teaching kids. They have a faith and innocence that is undeniable.

We also started a zumba class this week because my companion is a certified zumba instructor and it has been really fun to the class with members and amis for service and some MANGOS! (For those not in this mission that is an acronym that means something along the lines of work out every morning and get ready for the day:)

That was about it for this week, it went by really fast, we are getting ready for general conference where the prophets talk and I am so excited!!! Conference is seriously the best on a mission and it is amazing to be able to receive revelation from the prophets and apostles and all the other church leaders.

Week two of this transfer will be amazing!!!

Have a great week for yourselves:) And find Gods hand, especially when you see Satan's work, Look for God because he is there lifting us up.

With lots of love,
