Life is flying by and I can barely tell where the days are going, its also very strange to think that for eight hours every night I sleep but it feels like little naps in between studying and running around the south of france tyring to help people come to Christ! It is crazy, this week we went to Limoges and Bordeaux and actually tonight we go back to Bordeaux again and then we are good until transfers;p
This week we saw some amazing miracles but there is one in particular I wanted to share with you.
In preparation for this week we knew we were going to be gone two whole days not working in our sector and that we still needed to teach people and find people.
So, Wednesday we didn't have any rendezvous fixed and no less actives or anyone to pass so we had eight hours with nothing planned so we prayed really hard the night before in our planning session to find out where we needed to go to contact and we ended up with an outer ville a little ways away and because of buses we would be there, walking around for five hours.
I have really learned that attitude can change everything and me and my sweet blue decided we were going to rock it and in the very least have a fun day together just wandering around somewhere in the south of France:) we got ready and left for the day and when we got as far as the bus would take us we started wandering around and ended up next to a residence full of american style apartments that were open which meant we could knock on the door and see these people faces instead of hitting buttons and talking to intercoms!! (The first wonderful miracle!)
We started on the first building and knocked on every door and only four people opened up to us, but those four people were so kind and we even were able to have a short lesson with one of them. We went to the second building and this time there were only two people who opened up to us but again they were kind and we had another miracle lesson with one of them:) we ended up porting at three residences, in six different buildings and we knocked on probably 70 doors or so over the course of five hours but in the end we ended up with seven people who opened their doors and let us teach a brief message about prayer or the restoration and it was incredible. It was a beautiful day and God was making miracles happen like crazy.
He is there and it is incredible:)
District meeting was amazing and we talked about planning and I like to call it like miracle prep because its the closest we can get to creating miracles and it shows God we are ready to be tools in his hands and then he makes up the difference and I love it. I love Him and this gospel and the chance I have to be a part of His work. He doesnt need me in particular but because I am here He will make me an instrument:)
Saturday we had lunch on hotel de ville with a cute chinese student we met and ended up in the middle of a wedding party and it was loud and crazy and so funny because all these honking cars came out of nowhere and people started jumping out with drums and the bride and it was crazy and I took a few videos so hopefully they go through:)
All of our amis and everyone are doing good from what I can tell, sadly we didn't see them this week because of timing but we have some rendezvous fixed for next week so we will see what happens!
Have a great week:)
Love,
Sister Beatty
