Week 30, Montpellier and Sete, France

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well and living life to the fullest. This week was super duper great. We went to Sete one day which is this really cool island near the coast. We visited the family Boniot who used to live in Valence which is were I started my mission. It was fun to talk to them about Valence and the people we both knew from there. They were the first members to join the Church in French Guiana and have a really cool conversion story. When I was on an exchange with another missionary in Montpellier we visited the Elders quorum president who also told us his conversion story. It is really cool to hear how people found out in their own way that the Church is true. We learned in General Conference this week that everyone needs to find out for themselves if the Church of Jesus Christ is God's true Church on the Earth. Elder Uchtdorf said it is the most important thing we can gain in this life. I know that Joseph Smith was called of God to restore Christ Church on the earth and this knowledge has helped me a lot in my life. But I need to continue to obey the commandments and pray to keep my testimony. 

 

I was able to listen to Conference in English which was nice. Everyone comes to the Church to watch it and spends the whole day at the Church. It was fun to hang out with the members in between the sessions. I also convinced a British person that I was also British for a few minuets so that was cool. Thanks to watching a lot of Harry Potter I can check that off my list. Now I need to convince a French person that I'm French.

 

Miracle of the Week:

So about a month ago we were one the tram and a lady came up to me and asked if she could come to our church. I told her I was busy and had to get off soon. No, actually I was pretty exited and talked to her for a while and gave her everything she needed. We did not see her again until yesterday when we got a phone call from someone who said she was at the bus stop looking for the church. It was her and we gave her a tour of the church and then taught her a lesson. She is planning to come to church next week and meet with us again. I just realized how similar this story was to last weeks. It is a good thing Elder Adamson and I both stayed here in Montpellier. 

Have a great week,

Elder Bake
