Week 4: Heyyy tout le monde!!!

I had a pretty awesome week. I definitely understand a little bit better about whats going on, so that's awesome.
The Old City of Rennes
So I am spoiled. Heavenly Father truly loves me. We have two baptismal dates. Two. I haven't even been here for two weeks yet. The first is Raymonde. She is crazy. Literally and I love it. 60 years old. Her husband is a recent convert. The missionaries have been teaching her for like six months but she drew us a picture and on the back she wrote... i have something to tell you... and we said what?? And she said that she wants to be baptized! we were so happy. She reads the Book of Mormon so much. She can't really hear, so lessons are tricky. But we're trying to go slow so that we know that she understands. April 13 is the date and her wedding anniversary. I hope I don't get transferred.

The other is TUGSUU my favorite. She was the one that I mentioned last week.. The one I gave the Book of Mormon to. During her like 2nd lesson we asked if she wanted to be baptized within the next few weeks! She said "of course". She said she never thought she would be Christian. We got a Mongolian Book of Mormon, and she reads like crazy. She said she fills full. I like her because I have gotten to take all the major steps with her. Her date is also the 13th. We learned that her sister was murdered and that through our teachings, she has been able to forgive her murderer. How cool is that. I learn so much more than she does from me. She really is a light and I love her very much.

It Rains A Lot

I'm definitely trying to hold back on eating everything in sight here. I think the excitement of having speculous spread and bread everywhere will wear off here soon. And good thing, because I feel like I'll be two of me when I come home. I haven't gotten any mail from anyone yet? But I hope to at zone conference this week. Well, I best be off  Welcome home Kyle Asay and Jed McLoughlin soon.

Oh I've also really learned how the atonement can really strengthen us and not just fix us; I have been praying for God to strengthen me rather than to help me fix the situation I'm in. I feel my french improving tons. Continue to pray for me three times a day for the gift of tongues please.
