Oh my goodness!!! You have all been up to so much this week!!!!!
First of all, I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU WENT ALL OUT FOR RELAY FOR LIFE! I'm an just flabbergasted with what you put into this cause. I had big plans and expectations for Colleges Against Cancer and Relay For Life, but never did I imagine that my family would be at the center of it all!!!! That is amazing that you raised that much money with so few people! Dad you are an emailing fool! Ha ha ha! Thank you for all of your examples... This means a lot to me, especially where I'm so far away and only got a taste of it last year! I really wish I could have been there, but I know you will do again the next year, and the next, and I will have be chance! Really you still don't understand how happy I am right now. I am so proud of my family!!!!!!!!! You are my hero, thanks for being the dad that every son would hope for. I love you so much!
Relay For Life is a cause that means a lot to me, but it looks like now you will be carrying it on and I will work on another for a little while!
The work was a little slow this week, I will not lie. However, we have seen a lot of tender mercies. For example, we met two amazing people the other day. One is a man named Donny and the Other Semesi. We met Donny on the street Thursday. He was walking his dog when we stopped him and told him about the Book of Mormon and a living prophet. He was very interested. We took his information and set up a Rendez-vous for the next morning. It was AMAZING! He is golden, and that is all I can say!
After the rendez-vous we went back to our apartment really quick, and it was then that I realized I forgot something at Donny's house that was of great importance. We sped back to his house and recovered that which I left. Then we realized we forgot our clothes for sports later that evening. We felt stupid and marched back to the apartment. We got our clothes and headed in the direction of the church again, when we met Semesi. He is a fijian Rugby player for the Carcassonne Rugby team. I don't know if you know this, but rugby is BIG here!!!!!! He speaks English, not really french ha ha. He seemed like a very religous man, and was interested in our message. We set up a rendez-vous for the next day. We were a bit sad because he wasn't there at the time we fixed on Saturday, but at the end of the day Elder Bowen felt impressed to call him, and we were able to meet with him that night. It was an amazing rendez-vous too! He believes what we are telling him is true, he said that himself! We can't wait to meet with him again! The rugby team comes to his house all the time, and his family lives in Fiji!!! Can you say REFERRAL!!!! I see so many blessings coming from just this one contact!
This experience is a testimony to me that the Lord uses the weak things of the world to bring about his work and glory. We both had made several mistakes, and because of our weaknesses that we met Semesi! We may have never met him otherwise! Our Heavenly Father is the ultimate planner, and he sees everything!!! He will prepare His children to receive his word!
I have so much I want to tell you, but I just don't have the time, I'm so sorry! Mother I haven't recieved your letter or package yet, but I will keep my eyes peeled! Oh and the transfer is coming to a close this Sunday. I will get the call Friday like usual, and I will know my fate. I feel like I'm going to stay in Carcassonne, but you never know till the call! My mission dad Elder Boehme dies this transfer. His name is Kevin Boehme, and he lives in Hyde Park, Logan! Find him on Facebook and add him!!! I'll be expecting you to tell him to email me ha ha! I learned a lot from him and he was a great example to me for my first months here in France!
I love you all and can't wait to talk to you soon! Less than a month now!!!!!! --
