Bonjour!
This was such a good week! To start the week off we had
interviews with the mission president just to check in with us and make sure
that we were doing okay. Then we had a busy week teaching people! One of the
people that we have been teaching kinda dropped off the earth and we weren't
able to get a hold of him for a few days, and we were getting worried about him
but then he texted us and said that he hadn't been around because his wife just
had a baby. We didn't even know his wife was pregnant so it was a big shock to
us! However, we went over last night and got to meet the sweet baby! Her name
is Jessie and they are just the cutest little family! Also, one of the other
people we are teaching told us that he is getting a marriage license this week
so that he can get married! He is really excited and wants us to come the
wedding so bad, so we will see what happens! And one of the biggest miracles of
the week was that this wonderful woman named Milly that we have been teaching
gave up coffee in order to be baptized. We taught her all about the word of
wisdom and she told us that quitting coffee would be the hardest thing for her.
We gave her a lot of encouragement and then when we went to see her yesterday.
She gave us all of her coffee and told us to donate to somewhere else because
she doesn't need it anymore! It was AMAZING!!! We feel so incredibly blessed
this week and we are so grateful for the Lord's hand in our lives and the lives
of all of those around us!
To tell you about the title of my email. I also went on
exchanges this week in the Spanish program. So I spent a day teaching lessons
in Spanish and talking to people who only spoke Spanish. I don't speak Spanish.
It was definitely not an easy day for me to understand what was going on and I
didn't contribute much, but maybe next time I will at least be able to
understand a little bit more! For now, I'll just stick to English and French
because those are a lot easier for me to understand at this point!
By the way just for a visa update: I don't have it yet, but
it's all good because California is wonderful and it doesn't matter where I'm
helping and teaching what matters is that I'm doing it, so I'm going to keep
going with a positive attitude and LOVE every second of it!
I love you all so much and I'm so grateful for the support
you all show me! Also don't forget to watch General Conference this weekend!
It's a wonderful time to hear modern revelation and receive personal revelation
too! Je vous aime!!
Love,
Sister Connery
