Okay so this week was so crazy! After the Mustard couple left, Elder Skousen and Elder Walton (my old companion) were both brought in to take their places. That means that our apartment has been a four-man for a week now. We were pretty worried about how everything would work out, but honestly this has been such a fun time! We're still really missing the Mustards, but I'm starting to think everything will work out!
Besides the transfer madness, we have some other super cool news! The France Lyon mission is officially getting smartphones! We've been working for a few months now on putting that all together, but it should be happening soon, and I'm excited to see how it works out!
Friday was our Lyon zone conference - so good! President shared his thoughts on John chapter 9, when Christ heals the man blind from birth and wow, I learned so much! I love the symbolism, and it's so applicable to missionary work! In Jean 9, Christ heals the man, but it required faith and a little work, which is what is often required of us to see miracles. Anyways, then we went contacting in Lyon, and I loved it! I realized that I haven't really been contacting since I got to the office back in September, and I missed it! Elder Ruben and I had a great conversation with a man from California, and by the end he was asking for our number and where the church was so he could bring his family on Sunday! It was just the right miracle to get me back focused on missionary work after so much time filing papers in the office.
Today the four of us went to the mall and took advantage of winter soldes. We got our French suits and I'm not gonna lie, we look pretty classy.
Spiritual thought for today: Jean 9:25 - The Pharisees are interrogating the man healed by Christ. They don't believe Jesus is the Son of God, and they detest the no-longer-blind man for believing in Him. So they're asking him questions and after a bit, "He answered and said, whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see."
I love how straight-forward this is. After his experience with the Savior, this man was able to fend off trials with his simple testimony. I've really taken comfort from this scripture this week. I don't know everything, and life is hard, but one thing I know - that God loves me, and everything will work out. Go read the chapter, it's gold!
Anywho, all in all a great week, and I'm excited for the next!
Thanks for all the love, et je vous aime!
