Oh ma famille!!!
This last week was a lot better than the previous week. We taught Cécile again, and she endured till Sunday for her confirmation! Elder Wilcox confirmed her yesterday! We were so happy! Now there are 16 members ha ha!!! Jerome is really close, he just needs to quit café (coffee)!!! This week he is going cold turkey! I included that in my voice message! We had a great experience teaching him this last week. He has a few problems with prayer, so we worked with him to resolve the problems. As we studied for prayer, and taught it, I have reflected upon my own prayers. I have seen how much I need to improve the quality of my own personal prayers. Sometimes it is really difficult to say my prayers, but from teaching Jerome, I have been reminded of the things I have already learned about prayer, and how the Holy Ghost can lead us in what we need to say in our prayers! (Romans 8:25-26)
Cécile has also taught me a lot of things! She is so close to the spirit! The other day she asked us what Genesis 3:15 meant. This is a significant scripture, if you know what I mean. I thought I knew what it meant, but when I started to think about it, I was stumped. We took it upon ourselves to study a bit and get back to her! In the french bible, there isn't footnotes(sad ) but in english you can find that it is speaking about Jesus Christ. In the french addition it isn't clear with the subject "it" is talking about...
15And I will put aenmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; bit shall cbruise thy head, and thou shalt dbruise his heel.
so I went to the Pear of Great Price in French to see what the Prophet Joseph Smith translated.... BAM it is very clear with the subject in saying:
21And I will put aenmity between thee and the woman, between thy seed and her seed; and he shall bbruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Oh you gotta love modern day revelation! Even helps in foreign languages without the footnotes!
I can't neccassirly think of anything else to tell you actually..... yeah the mission is changing, I'll forward you the news letter that will be the last from the Carters! There are some good photos at the end you need to look at. You will see Elder Park too :)
It rained a lot this last week, and thundered too!!! OOOOhh I love that!!!!!! It reminds me of home! Speaking of which I am so jealous you were at the cabin! It has been a year ago that we were there all together! And maggie was there :( but it is good to see that you are carrying on her legacy with Dash! I can't wait to tackle that little pup! Talk about Emma and how flippin cute she is!!!!! I want to just squeeze her cheeks!!!!!!!!! I really do appreciate your photos, they make me smile :D It will be nice to be with you all again! July 2012!!!! Can you believe I almost one year old! I'm just growing up too darn fast!
Elder Wilcox and I are getting along great! We are still getting the whole teaching the Gospel part down, but it will come. It's ironic, I have almost been one year out, and I still can't teach the Gospel well ha ha! I guess it takes a lifetime ;) I'm down for the journey! I actually got an email from Elder Shaffer!! Woop Woop!! He is doing well, actually just got a pick up truck in his area, so he is happy! I am really happy to hear from him! Also heard from Laurent Vanaquer and Frère Vital this week!!! Elder Bowen is doing well, his blue is super blue though! Cant speak a lick of french... Oh I remember those days... Dark times they were ha ha.
I hmmm.... I think that is all I got. I love you all, and I think about you all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
love,
GROS BISOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
