Bonjour ma famille,
So a couple transfers ago we ported into this guy who was interested but busy. We gave him a book of mormon and got his number to set up a return visit. I tried calling multiple times with out success then finally one day his son answered the phone. He passed the phone over to his dad and after telling him who we were he hung up on us. Well we figured he wasn't interested so we left his info in the area book in case he ended up being interested later.
Well this week we were around the same area and I remembered this guy so we decided to pass by and see if he was there. We found the house and rang the bell. His wife came out and recognized us. She explained that they were actually interested to talk with us and they had read some of the book of mormon and wanted to know more. Apparently when i had called the phone cut out and she said they wanted to call back but that they didn't know our number. They just hoped that we would call back. She told us that her huband was busy that evening but that they wanted to have us over for dinner this week to explain our message. She seemed really excited to see us and took our number and gave us her home and cell phone numbers to make sure that we could stay in contact.
I honestly felt like I was talking with a member because she was so happy and nice. The only difference is that we generally have ask to come share a message and eat at a members house. This lady just invited to have us over as we stood there in shock. We didn't have to even hint at wanting to come back she just did all of the work in setting up the rdv for us.
Tomorrow we are going over to have dinner and share the restored gospel with a FAMILY! A nice happy french family in a beautiful house who will soon be even happier because of the gospel. I love this work! Please pray for us and that they will be receptive to our message so that we will be able to see them again. I love you all!
