Geezzzz!!!
Brock, Caden, and Bridger are all looking way tall. Are you sure that that was really a picture of them? Wow. . .
Haha everyone looks really good though! Caders, keep working hard, and I
promise that if you keep a good attitude the coaches will see that and
you will get playing time, however, if you start to complain they will
never put you in! Try and hustle and be the
first one in every drill, always be the one who runs and gets everything
that the coaches as for, work your tail off!
Hey! That looks like a familiar face! I am so happy that she stopped by
to see you! You all look so good! Haha, yeah Brock told me about that! I
was laughing so hard when he told me what he said to her! The backyard
looks completely different as well! Brock,
you are going to love your college classes! They are seriously the best
and they are so much better than high school classes!
Okay, before I forget, I had a member ask if we could make a carrot cake
for him. . . so if at all possible could you send me the recipe for
the really good carrot cake that you make?
As for this week. . .
Man did it fly by.
There was a funny experience that happened at church. There was an
investigator that showed up with the other Elders that are in our ward,
and since it was fast and testimony meeting he decided to get up and
share with us his testimony. This guy is from China,
so in broken french he shared with everyone his testimony. The funny
part was that he was telling everyone how grateful he is for the
missionaries, and then he said I would like it if we could all give
Elder Frost a round of applause. . . for a minute everyone
just sat there not knowing what to do and the investigator started
clapping. . . We didn't want to make him feel awkward, so Elder Powell
and I join in haha, and then in the back of the room there was about 10
young adults who see us and then decided that if
we were doing it it must be okay and they erupted clapping really loud.
Ah it was so hilarious. . . you see something new everyday!
We had another pretty packed week of finding, teaching, and exchanges.
We have been all over the place, and honestly the only time that I feel
like I get to relax a little bit is during studies. . . so I love
studies :)
We had a cool experience the other day on the bus. We had just finished
up with a lesson at the church, and we jumped on the bus to take us all
the way back home. We got on the bus and in looking around we see three
people not including the bus driver. Elder
Powell gets stopped by the bus driver trying to practice his English
with him and then I found myself trying to decide which of the three
people I was going to talk to. . . one of them is a teenage girl, and
the other one was a young couple that didn't look
to interested, but I decided to give the young couple a short.
Unfortunately they were getting off at the next stop, so I made them
promise to talk to the missionaries the next time that they see us, and
then I let them on their way. After that there was only
the teenage girl left, so I thought why not. . . I went over and started
talking to her and she ends up being way interested. She was getting
off really quick so she gave me her number and jumped off at her stop. .
. a few days later I gave her a call to see
if we could meet up with her at the church and talk a little bit more
about Jesus Christ. She said that she would love to and the next day
before she left on vacation she met us for a RDV. We weren't really sure
if she was going to come, and we were kinda of
scared that we had a member come all the way out for no reason, but sure
enough, she was right on time. . . We walk into our church building and
she says, what even is the name of your church? I told her and then
another missionary said, we are also the Mormons!
She then said no way?! My best friend in France is a Mormon! She tells
us the name and it turns out that it is actually the bishop's daughter!
How crazy is that?! We then went into the young women's room where there
were pictures on the wall of all of the young
women, and sure enough her friend was right there! We then went on to
have an amazing RDV where the spirit was really strong, and in the end
when we gave her a chapter of the Book of Mormon to read she asked if
she could read the whole thing while she is on
her trip. . . we were like, umm yeah, definitely haha! Sadly, she is
going on vacation for three weeks :( So, we wont be able to teach her,
but be prayin' that all goes well!
Right now missionary work is kind of difficult here in France. . .
Literally everyone is on vacation!!! Half of the ward is gone, and all
of our investigators have left or are going to leave.
