Last Zone Conference

...is this Wednesday. It will be with Elder Claudio Zivic, of the seventy. And yeah, we're doing a musical number. My brain doesn't know how to recognize a lost cause, so I can't say whether or not this will work. I'll let you know!

Also, I can't help but remember when I wear my Seahawks shirt that we're in the regular season already. Somebody want to update me?

This week featured a few cool Sunday morning miracles. At 8am, I was just starting to study when the phone rang. Old investigator, someone we hadn't talked to in several weeks after he...well, it was a mutual break. But then, he called on Sunday and was like "hey, I want to come to church!" So, I frantically called everyone in our branch, and we got him to church! Then, right before the meeting starts, another investigator drives up, completely unexpected. He's an older man, his health is always up and down, and he usually says "I'll try" when we invite him to church. Well, in the past, "I'll try" has always meant no. Like, not just with him, but with any investigator in all of my mission. Up until this past Sunday! It was pretty chouette.

As another quick update, Jean-Yves is doing great. He got the Priesthood last Sunday (did I already say that?), and has been studying like crazy in his scriptures. I love seeing the gospel just change people's natures. Everything is different. In fact, he told us that he went to see his docter this past week, and she told him that "I've never ever seen you smile like that!". He then started talking to her about the church and his recent baptism.

Wish us luck! If you happen to think of it during your prayers, I would much appreciate your asking for help with our musical number. I would like it to be good.

Je vous aime tous!
