Week #4 Transfer #4: Toulouse, Rodez and Albi

Week 4 done, the weeks are going by very fast now!

Lunch with the Toulouse Elders!  

This week was a really cool one, we had a ton of awesome experiences finding people. One day we met 4 guys who were all on the rugby team and super cool and even bought us hot chocolate and cookies! We shared a brief message after hanging out with them for a bit after a guy Elder Robards had seen earlier got back. He, Dan, is from New Zealand and has family who's Mormon, and is looking for a church to go to! He's planning on coming next week and we got all their info and should see them soon! They were all so cool.

Our Rugby Pals

The rest of the week was fun, went contacting people on the street with a member, met some awesome new people, we also met a less active and are teaching her sister now who's super interested! We had a whole day of meeting new potential Amis and they all fell through, but We finally got to meet Ritta that night, a member who hasn't been to church In a long time, and she was so cool. Her sister who isn't a member was staying with her, and we got to share the new Christmas Video with them. Her sister even started to cry during it and was super touched by he message, and afterwards Ritta explained a bit about the church. Elder Omohundro then gave her a little lesson on the Book of Mormon and we gave her one. I then asked her if she was interested and she nodded with a smile and said yes! She actually really wants to learn more and we will be teaching her! We had planned on 3 new Amis, and the new friend we made we didn't even know! So cool and I feel really blessed to have been able to share this with her.

Octogonal Tower of Saint-Amans-Soult

We Got to have a fun talent show at the church later in the week and us and Rodez all did a skit that is normally really funny to Americans... no one laughed and it was super embarrassing but I didn't design the skit so that's ok haha. We still had a ton of fun with all the members and got to do a lot with them throughout the week and after!

Chapel door of church of Saint-Amans

That about sums it up! We are going to our Christmas conference tomorrow in Lyon and I forgot my plaque and planner so it should be an adventure! We'll see how I solve this challenge...
