February 24, 2025 Bonjour a tous j'espère que vous allez bien !! We had a good week of missionary work and I'll take you through the highlights real quick. Monday night we were running through our area book calling less active members then all the sudden this man rings the bell for our church. We open the door then in a very thick Australian accent he says do ya need a walker? We were like what? Then he explains that his mom just died and he's cleaning out his mom's house and there was a brand new Zimmer walker that we could have so the next day he dropped it off and we now have a Zimmer Machine. I had an exchange in Aunlay with Elder Sharp which was hype. We did some street contacting and we stopped a man who spoke English. He was Chinese, French and Italian. He apparently served in the French military in a special operation unit. He said that any enemy that came within 5 football fields was as good as dead. But he was also a little crazy, but it was fun to talk wit...

February 17, 2025 Bonjour a tous! Hello everyone I made it through another week of awesome missionary work! I'll run you through the highlights of the week. So many elect people! On Thursday I met this super elect person on the metro. We just started talking and he was super interested. He was born into a Christian household but doesn't go to church often. Loves the bible too! I felt prompted on the metro to share with him Amos 3: 7 which is - Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. - Then I told him that God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and that he gave us prophets in every period of time. It was super cool to see a light go off in his brain. Then I bore a quick testimony about our Prophet and the Book of Mormon. Truly one of the most spiritually enriching and faith building experiences I've had on my mission. One funny thing that happened to us is French class with Alex. We have an amazing member in o...

February 10, 2025 Well I had an action packed week! I picked up my new companion, Elder Talbot. He's so cool and already an awesome missionary. We had a ton of super amazing experiences so far and we're only 4 days in. Our friends here are super awesome and progressing and that is awesome. Funny story, I lost my companion this week! We were trying to get onto the metro and I got on the metro but Elder Talbot got caught behind a senior couple and wasn't able to make it on. So I turned around and saw that I got split up and just mouthed to him "wait there" and put my hand up signaling him to wait for me to come back around. Luckily I am in a 4 man and the other equipe was there so they went back while I waited at the next stop. Not the greatest thing to do as a mission father. Other things we did this week: we had a super awesome lesson with one of our friends who is progressing amazingly. We drew a bunch of images on the chalkboard to get him to understand the s...

February 3, 2025 This week we had Transfer News, I will be staying in Les Lilas and my Comp Elder Tupana will be leaving (RIP Mon Tahitian!). What I didn't expect this transfer was to be training a brand new Elder! I have no idea what his name is but I can't wait! We pick them up on Thursday. Other than that we have been really focusing on members this last week sending them spiritual thoughts. Our plan this next week is to bring them a bunch of cookies !!!! Our members here are actually super powerful. Every single one of them has a super strong testimony. Members are super important for this work! It's your testimony that inspires lasting change in the hearts of the people we teach. That's one thing I personally learned this week as we had 5 member lessons where you could tell the spirit was there. I also had an amazing experience on the metro where I started talking to this one man who ended up telling me he was Muslim. He said that he respects everyone's beli...
