Sorry

      I am so sorry about how bad the emails have been getting.  This place really goes nuts when holidays happen.  I also totally forgot how soon mothers day was. CRAZY! Well here's our number 0688071100 I think it would be best if you just call when you are available and I will answer it!  Oh yeah, I am getting moved. I will be spending the rest of my mission in Melun. It is like 30 minutes from Paris so that should be cool, I have never really been anywhere near Paris!
     Well things were going really well here. We had a super legit rendezvous with William the Ghanaian amie!  We were teaching a lesson on the commandment to follow the prophets and I felt inspired to ask him what he felt about Joseph Smith. He basically testified to us that he knew that he was a prophet from reading the Book of Mormon and he has watched the video every morning and he knows that the BOM is the word of God! HE IS READY!! He should be getting baptised sometime next transfer. We also had a legit lesson with Damien's family. They have all been reading in the Book of Mormon.  Even the little ones, LEGIT! We watched a movie called Our Heavenly Fathers Plan, (super old), it's about the plan of salvation and they liked it. We then explained the first half of the plan of salvation. I shared the experience of when I came home from track the night mom got diagnosed with cancer and how I tried trick or treating our own house.  Not knowing about anything that mom had been going through and thinking I was being funny.  I had my heart broken with everyone yelling at me for disturbing our poor mother...not the best way to find out she had cancer....I was devastated.  I remember how powerful family prayer became then.  I shared how unified we became through Christs atonement and through doing simple things such as family prayers and scripture study!  IT WAS SO COOL to see the kids reaction! Normally they are rambunctious and hyper, like ....normal kids, but after I shared this experience ...everything got really quiet and the spirit was so STRONG!! I expressed how much love I had for my savior for bringing our family together and challenged them to hold family prayers and study! Damien's mom Danielle has already read a descent amount in the BOM and the Joseph Smith book. She has agreed to be baptised when she knows it is true!!! I hope she gets it soon but I know and feel like she is so close!!! Damien's a super example for her and she is super touched by his testimony and she is super grateful for us and helping him find this incredible testimony. Which is basically what pushed her into wanting to learn more. The family she has tried to share the gospel with who wasn't really listening is all of a sudden listening and not just with their ears, but with their hearts!!! I am gonna miss them SO much.  Even if I get to see them soon with y'all!
    Well other than that we had a few other great rdvs with Qiongji and Winnoc. Qiongji knows baptism is what she needs to do and even has a testimony of prayer now. BIG STEP. But she really needs a stronger testimony of Christ and this is our focus on helping her now. 
     Well I got to leave, but know that I love you so much and that I am working my hardest out here! I love my savior Jesus Christ and grow closer to Him every day! ..... I still don't have genetic results yet but the hospital is sending me all the results this week and then I have got to go back for a check up soon .....which means I will be doing a trip back to Limoges WOO!!
So here is my new address 10 Rue Brasserie Gruber
                                               Melun ( not sure what the serial code is)
LOVE YOU TONS
