"Know ye not that ye are in the hands of God?"

Bonjour à tous!! 

Another week of miracles of course!! This week was really so good. We saw a lot of our amies become progressing and we had exchanges, ate delicious African food and crepes bigger than our faces, and met a really nice American family at church! 

Soo Tuesday, we were out contacting and we stopped a girl about 20 years old named Kathy. And we testified of a loving Heavenly Father who wants to talk with us through prayer. I asked her who God was for her and she was caught off guard a bit. She said, "I want to believe, but I have a lot of doubts"  so we asked about her doubts and she talked about all the bad things that happen in the world to good people and she wanted to believe in a loving Heavenly Father but how was it possible? Oooh it was totally perfect! I told her she could know for herself if she only asked. Then we taught her how to pray and I felt the Spirit soo strong as we testified that she would receive an answer if she asked. I told her of the experience I had when I asked Heavenly Father if He was there and if He loved me. I saw the Spirit touch her heart and she told us she would pray. It was absolutely amazing to feel the Spirit working through us. It is really a neat feeling when I can be an instrument in God's hands. Kathy is His daughter and He loves her and wants her to feel that! So He sent us to tell her and that is the BEST thing about being a missionary! I love when I can be a tool in His hands and I can help His children. It makes everything else totally worth it. 

Then later that night we went on exchanges with the stls. SO fun. I love Soeur Finneran. She is an amazing missionary, teacher and listener. We went to see an old amie Cecile. The sisters before us met her but were never really able to teach her much. So Soeur Finneran and I went and talked with her about eternal marriage and forever families and how we can have that through the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. She LOVED it. and she accepted a soft invitation to baptism! It was aaamazing. I love her! She has three kids and her youngest is about 11 and he's learning English and chinese! They are all Catholic, really believing, but she is recently divorced and really open to our message. I am so excited to see her again this week and invite her to church! Being a missionary is so much fun. I love teaching people about the gospel and seeing the light come into their eyes. I love being an answer to their prayers and I love helping them feel God's love. Being a missionary is the best thing I have ever done and I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for allowing me to be here! 

thanks for all your support and prayers! I love you all sooo much!!
