Hey everybody,
Another good week in the city with nonstop rain. Luckily today happened to be one of the rare days that it is sunny. My umbrella is officially out of commission. I need to another one up soon because we dont have any spares in the apt. Other than the weather i really like saint etienne. The members here are all great. Yesterday at church we had 2 members show up with friends that we have now set rdvs with. Member work is definately the best way to do missionary work.
Since Elder Wheat is new we got bombarded with dinner appointments this week. I love going over and sharing spiritual thoughts with families in the ward. Everybody over here is like a big family. After church in Utah every body is out of the building the second they say the closing prayer but here everybody is still at the church talking and eating and playing for hours after.
There is a recent convert here and his wife and kids just moved here from africa. It was really awsome getting to meet the family and see how happy they were to be together again. My favorite part was when he was introducing his family and he rubbed his 2 yr old sons head and said that he was going to be his little missionary. Awesome. We're hoping to start teaching his wife the lessons starting this week.
This past week went well. We started teaching a new ami named Camara and we met him in a park for out first rdv. We ended up teaching under umbrellas but it still went really well. My favorite part was when we had him read moroni 10 and asked him what he thought. Usually you just get a response where they just kinda repeat what you said but he started testifying about each point and breaking it down bit by bit. He was super excited about it. It was awesome. It was even more awesome when we called him 2 days later and he was already 14 chapters into the book of mormon. I hope that things keep going the way they do.
Anyway I love you all and hope that all is going well for everyone.
Elder Swenson
