I hope everyone is doing well. I just got over a little cold and am doing super. Lucky I was not sick for very long and I did not need to stay inside or stop working. Now I am better than ever and ready to have the best week ever. We have a lot of awesome rendez-vous set up with members and amis that we are really exited about. Tomorrow we are going to Bordeaux to do Elder Adamson's legality. Every missionary has to renew their passport after they have been in the country for a year. We will be going to Bordeaux again the next week for a conference with Elder Kiren who is a 70 (church leader).
This last week we spent a lot of time getting to know Montpellier and talking to everyone along the way. We found some really cool parks and other stuff that we had no idea was there. We meet some really cool people. I really like talking to people on the road because they all have a unique life story to tell. Everyone has had very different experiences that have made them the people they are today with the beliefs that they have.
Last week we visited a 92 year old lady that is in the ward named Sr. Zemery. She is French but was raised in Africa. It is so fun to talk to her because she has experienced so many things in her life and has so much to talk about. She told us how she was praying one day for guidance in her life and right after met the missionaries! It is so cool to hear stories like hers and see how the Gospel of Jesus Christ has blessed so many peoples lives.
We are still teaching English conversation classes twice a week which has been going really well. We have had a lot of new people come recently. We also play soccer every Saturday. Last week a guy who is on the French Olympic team randomly showed up so that was cool. I have never seen a more ripped and fit person in my life. Soccer is super fun. It is so funny to have a bunch of little kids, American missionaries, Chinese students, really good French people including some professionals all playing soccer together.
As my elementary school morning announcements say:
Have a great day or not, the choice is yours.
Love Elder Bake
