We
had an absolutely beautiful trip to the temple on Saturday with the
branch and especially J___. She shared her testimony on Sunday and
said that it was easily the most spiritual experience of her life. The
members there were wonderful, we didn't know a lot of them from the
other branches, but they just picked her up and helped show her around -
there were two other girls, B___ and A___, who were doing baptisms
for the first time, too. It's a privilege to serve in the temple.
We've
seen the L___'s twice this week, and they came to the little Halloween
gatherings, as well - they're doing well -- really love the Joseph Smith
story, especially visions, and Brother L--- said that as he's been
learning the last week and a half, it's everything he ever thought about
God, and the way that he has always understood His workings, and is
very happy to find someone teaching these things. There seems to be a
hesitancy about baptism, however - maybe because it's still new, maybe
something else, but when we ask, something seems to get lost in
translation to French. We'll keep trying, but are very grateful for the
influence and power of pure truths.
We've
also seen K___ twice this week - she is willing to be baptized, and
likes what she's finding, but she still hasn't come to church or met
anyone from the ward at activities yet...
We
didn't get to meet the J___ family formally, but saw them a few times
on the street, and have an appointment for Wednesday, and we'll bring
them to an activity at the Branch, a good-bye for the H___'s and a
meet-the-J___ -girls all in one. The branch sounds quite excited to have
a large family to work with :)
