Salut!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!! I hope it's a good one!! And I can't believe Jeff is starting Driver's Ed what?!? That is so crazy!! Good luck with all that :) I can't believe another week has flown by! Time is going by way too fast. I don't like it! haha things have been going really well here in Angers. Soeur Denning is an angel and I absolutely adore her.  If things go as normal I'll be leaving Angers in two weeks. Which means leaving Soeur Denning which is not okay at all. We get along perfectly!! She is amazing and she is teaching me SO much! I'm not done learning from her and I love her sooo much so I really really hope that by some miracle I get to stay! It wouldn't be fair if we only got one transfer together! We seriously are best friends and that gives me soo much happiness! We make a good team I think. This week we were able to see a lot of miracles together and it was wonderful! Heavenly Father absolutely hears and answers our prayers! Wednesdaynight, we got out of a dinner appointment and saw a text from our district leader asking us to pray for all the equipes in Angers so we could all see miracles that night. It was already 8 but we prayed for miracles! And then we went contacting in Centreville and at first no one was listening but then I stopped a young woman and testified that I knew that God was there, that He is our Heavenly Father who loves us and she was immediately intrigued. She isn't believing at all but she talked with us for a good half hour. The Spirit was so strong as we testified of a loving Heavenly Father who has a plan for us. We gave her a plan of salvation pamphlet and taught her how to pray and she said she would read and pray that night and we could text her the next day. It was incredible!!! Her name is Coralie and I love her! She said she never listens to people like us but something was different this time. It was absolutely a miracle and an answer to our prayers! And then right after her we talked to two other girls who at first were pretty skeptical and laughed when we testified that we were all children of God but it was really cool to see the Spirit work and touch their hearts because by the end they were listening intently, wanting to know more. It was amazing. I love being a missionary! 

Also on Sunday I gave a talk in Church about missionary work. I was SO scared. But Soeur Denning helped me out a lot with the French and I think it went pretty well. Frere Regnier spoke after me and he said I want to congratulate this sister, I am so impressed with her progression in French, she speaks so much better than she did when she got here" It was so kind of him! It was such a good opportunity for me to practice my french and it was kind of assurance that I can speak this language and I don't have to be afraid or hesitant to speak even if it isn't completely perfect! 

Later we able to go eat with a member family who lives way out in the country and it was so fun! Their family is beautiful and the French countryside is gorgeous!! Later that evening we went with Soeur Cheve to visit an old amie. She had been in the hospital this week and was praying a lot. She told us she knew God hears and answers prayers, and loved her because He sent us to her. That is the best part of being a missionary. I love being an instrument in His hands! Being a missionary is the best thing ever. Honestly, the best decision I have ever made. It is absolutely true that it can be very very difficult at times. But the moments when I testify of God's love to someone who has never thought of the idea of a loving Heavenly Father or see someone's faith grow and the light come into their life, those experiences of seeing such amazing miracles make everything worth it. I have seen Heavenly Father's hand in every day. I know He is aware of me as He is of all of us. I am so blessed every day!! Thank you so much for your love and support! I love you all so much!!
