Week #13- August 12, 2013


Dear Family & Friends,

Well this week was pretty crazy. Yesterday was Emilleans confirmation and after a crazy morning we figured out a way to get her to church. At first she wasn't going to come because her kids were mad at her for joining the church. We called her and prayed with her on the phone and she said "I have to come." We then got a call an hour later saying she was at the train station but lost her pass. We then scrambled to find someone to pick her up. One of the senior couple missionaries in the ward drove us to get her. We made it back right before sacrament meeting!  

We have also been teaching this guy named Luke. He is an R&B artist. He is a super cool guy and has a true love for God. We taught him the story of the restoration and he was so happy. He said it only made sense that if there is one God, there should be only one church!  He told us he was going to pray and ask God if the message was true. Can't wait till we have another rendez-vous with him. 

We had what you could call a miracle this week. Elder Webber and I chose to go to a certain stop on the train and when we got there we had no success. We had only a few hours left so it wasn't really worth switching cities. Although we felt like we needed to go to Trappes. We got on the train and headed to Trappes not knowing what we were going to do. When we got there and walked out, this guy stopped us. He told us he was from Africa and had been in France for 6 months and had no idea where the nearest church was. He was so happy to see us and now we are teaching his friends!  Perfect example of the Lord putting people in our paths! 

This week has been awesome! 

Love you all! 
Elder Sughroue
