Bonjour à tous!
Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone enjoys their day off. :) It's also a holiday here in France, but not the same one. And it has been beautiful these past 5 days! Finally after two long months of rain we have sun! We had a good week. Maybe not as far as statistics, but in our spiritual progression, yes! We found, thanks to the Elders, another new investigator. Her name is Benoitte and she's from Congo. We had a really good lesson with her. At first it was kind of bumpy, but as we talked with her and got to know her and followed the spirit she really opened up and we were able to leave with a strong spirit. She told us that a year ago the missionaries knocked on her door, but she was in the middle of moving, so they asked her if she needed help. She was so grateful, because she had a three year old and two month old baby. She said that the Elders came back the next day with four other missionaries and helped her move all of her things to a new apartment. After that she lost her phone (or it broke, can't remember) so she no longer had the missionaries phone number and has not had contact with them since. Then last Monday the V. D'Ascq Elders knocked on her door and she immediately let them in. They weren't able to stay since she's single, so they told her Soeur Alves and I would call and we could pass by that week. The Elders immediately called us and we immediately called Benoitte and we were able to see her on Wednesday. She told us that she knows there's a reason that God sent us to her and that we must have something for her. It was so neat when she shared this experience with us! She was supposed to come to church yesterday, but sadly didn't, however we're going to see her tomorrow, so hopefully we can help get to church and respect the commitments we give her. She is very sweet and was happy to receive the Book of Mormon. I know that the Lord prepared people for us to teach. You can help too, by finding these people for the missionaries. ;) Love you all!
Bisous, Soeur Reeves
