Week 20! What an awesome, exciting number to hit! I also got this app that tells how many days Gabi has served and her percentage finished. I will put a picture below. We just hit 25% this week! Gabi sounded great this week. She has been showering with no hot water all week and I expected to hear a lot of complaining but she just brushed it off and said "oh well" I wanted to say, "Who are you and what have you done with my daughter." I love that she is growing and getting stronger every day that she is out.
Here is her letter from this week
Bonjour Mes Amis !!!
Time is flying! I can't believe its November! Did October even happen?!?
So we started this week off on the right note when me and my companion were trying to turn on our heaters and in the process broke our water heater! So this week we've had no heat or hot water and it's been freezing! But it's ok because cold showers build character!
I hope everyone had an awesome Halloween! Halloween isn't the biggest deal here in France but me and my companion did our best to "dress up". We decided to be princess and the pauper with our pink skirt and blue skirt! We also had a bunch of halloween candy that my grandma and mom sent me! So we celebrated pretty good!
This week was another tough week with rendez-vous. We got canceled on so many times! So we went batting for hours and hours in the rain! And it rocked! We layered up our clothes and went out in the freezing weather and worked hard! A couple people told us to leave our phone number in their mailbox so hopefully we'll get a call from them one of these days!
This week we had some awesome rendez-vous as well! The first one was with George! One of the members in our ward Sœur Penverne invited us, George, and 3 recent converts Ibrahim, Alhassan, and Mohammed over for dinner and a lesson. It was super fun to spend time with all of them! We taught about prayer, scripture study, and the sabbath day. It was so great to hear all of them bear their testimonies. And then George bore his testimony! He said he knew how important it was to go to church on Sunday because there was no other time when we could partake of the sacrament. He said he knew prayer was for everyday of the week but we needed to be at church on Sunday to worship. It was amazing to see his progression! After our lesson George's leg stiffened up and he could barely walk. He was in so much pain. He was able to receive a priesthood blessing and he told the Sœur Penverne he knew the power of the priesthood was real even if he wasn't automatically healed. Sadly George's problem with his leg has really been making life hard for him though. He's been to the doctor multiple times and wasn't able to make it to church because of it. So prayers for his health and ability to come to church and rendez-vous would be amazing!
Then we had a lesson with Marie and we asked her what she thought her next step was. She said she wanted to understand the scriptures better and then baptism. Her whole attitude has changed and its been so awesome to watch. She came to church again all on her own and I was so happy! She seems to be progressing well. I've seen her happier the last few weeks and have heard her talk more about baptism than before! So keep her in your prayers!
This week I saw a lot of miracles and saw the hand of the Lord in a lot of things. My testimony of this gospel grows more and more everyday! I'm so grateful I get to go out and serve and share the good news of the gospel!
I love you all and hope you have a great week!! Go make someone's day better!!
Love, Sœur Uboldi
