Oh mince!!!! So much to tell in so little time!!!!!!!!

So I had a great week!! Monday after I emailed you we went to the Famille Vanaquer's and shared a message, but it turned out to be a surprise birthday dinner for me! I was so happy!! I ATE STEAK! ha ha. Later on in the week the Kersey Family threw me a little party too! I took a video of that, I'll be sending dad's memory stick home soon with all that fun stuff!! The members are great here and I feel a lot of love!
I'll just share a small experience I had at the Vanaquers while I was there. His baby girl is very sick, and he wanted to give her a blessing. We gathered around the crying baby girl and after the anointing layed our hands lightly on her head. It was that she began to scream and it was disheartening.The father (Laurent) gave the blessing and the only thing that was running through my head was, "please Heavenly Father heal this baby". It wasn't only seconds later that the baby girl stopped crying, and when the the Laurent finished the blessing she just stared at us with big wet eyes. It was in that moment I seen the love that our Heavenly Father has for every one of his Children.

• 3 Nephi 22:13

  And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

That was a neat experience. Also I just want to tell you that yes in fact Nicholas Créquit is going to be baptized this Saturday! Jeremy Labina called me and told me the good news! Iraj Soltani is going to be baptized too!!! Isn't that just wonderful! And speaking of baptisms, we will be having two baptisms this Saturday here in Carcassonne! Vanessa Juillerac, and Conchita Gonzalez. They are both ready and there are just last minute things to take care of! However the opposition has already started to fight back. Vanessa didn't come to church yesterday because Benoit's mother was visiting. We had to do a rendez-vous over the phone because of the importance. Benoit for the instant is not ready for baptism, but continue to keep them in your prayers!
Mince I don't have anymore time! I pray that all is going well for you, and I can't wait to here from you all again! I don't know what this broadcast thing was, but I hope I didn't look like a gomer on the big screen ha ha. If you find the link, send it my way!
I included some photo's I hope you enjoy! The picture with the frame is the Famille Vanaquer. The cake picture is Famille Kersey! You should look up Amy Kersey on Facebook Mom and add her as a friend! She is the mother of the family!
Hmm.... oh could you find me Natalie Buttars address?... oh and as many as my fellow missionary friends email addresses as well! (including ambassadors)....
That's all!! I will let you know what happens after this week, the transfer is Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I love you all, hear from you again soon!!!!
