Happy July 14! (It's basically Frances 4th of july) (It's also not so happy because it's our P-day and everything is closed and there are no busses).
So work in Brive with only one equipe has been going well. This week we were able to see and meet a ton of amis, members, and less actives. We ended up passing by one less active family and they were really cool. They actually have a son who is going to be turning 8 soon and said that he wants to be baptized so we set up to come and teach the family the lessons really simply to help him be more prepared. Hopefully we can get them coming back to church here soon.
Working with Elder Ahlemeyer has been great. We have been getting plenty of comments due to the fact that he is German and with the world cup and what not. At the beginning of the week Elder Ahlemeyer asked about the weather in Brive. I told him that it was generally hot and didn't rain much during the daytime. Since I said that it has litterally rained on us every single day.
One cool thing that happened this past week was that we had set up a rdv in the afternoon and our ami texted us and said that she was going to be a little late. So while we were waiting on a bench in centreville another girl comes up and starts talking to us and pretty soon we start talking a little about our beliefs and such. Then our ami shows up and she said it would be ok if the other girl joined in on the rdv. Just like that we ended up teaching two new people in one single rdv. It was a cool unexpected miracle. Some days you are searching for people all day long and not a single person will talk with you. Other days a new ami will just pop up out of nowhere. Mission life.
I love you!
Elder Swenson
