Bonjour!
This week was super super busy, but
awesome as usual. We weren't in Dijon much, because we had MLC in Lyon, then
district meeting in Lausanne, but it was a really good week. I got to do an
exchange with the Port des Alpes equipe in Lyon, which was a blast. We had two
other exchanges, with the elders from Bienne and Yverdon, and both of those
went really well. Not a whole lot of craziness this week though. We got to
visit a local museum here in Dijon, which was really cool (and air conditioned,
hallelujah, it's getting super hot). It's been a blast working with Elder
Johnson- he's super funny, and we get lots done.
Honestly, besides all the meetings
and exchanges, not a whole lot happened. We had an awesome rendezvous with Poe,
and the spirit was super strong. He leaves on military duty tomorrow, so we
have one more meal with him tonight, and then I might not see him again, cuz he
gets back in July. Honestly, it's been super cool watching him and his family
progress. It's crazy how much you come to love the people you serve. I love
Dijon. I'd love to serve another transfer here, but I'm also so so excited to
be able to see some more of France or Switzerland!
I had a pretty awesome spiritual
experience the other day. We had a rendezvous with a member named Frére
Nicolas, and it went okay. He's an older guy who is sometimes hard for me to
understand and connect with, and I was ready to go home for the night. But then
we went to say the closing prayer, and he asked if he could pray in English,
for some practice, and we said yes. So he started praying in really broken
English, and all of the sudden the spirit was so strong and I just had the
craziest feeling of love for this older, kind of weird guy sitting on the park
bench next to me. It was like God had opened my eyes and let me see his son
Brother Nicolas like He saw him. Anywho, it was crazy, and I had to hurry and
wipe some tears before he said amen. I love the people here in Dijon, and I'm
so excited to watch that love grow. The mission is weird but awesome!
Love you guys!
