Week 72 - Journee de Service
Iaorana Tatou!!
I hope that you all have had a great week! This week was a good week for Elder Peck and I! Nothing too big went down but we had a good time and made best with what we had!
This week we had a Journee de Service! It is their Mormon Helping Hands! It was tons of fun. Our ward went to an inactive members house to clean up their yard. We took the weed whackers and rakes and went to town! They don't have lawn mowers here so you are forced to cut grass with weed whackers which makes things take a million times longer, but a million times more fun! So we did that pretty much all day on Saturday. We took a little break at lunch time and drank coconuts. The coconut water here is WAYYY better than in America! So that was a pretty fun day. I love serving others.
Also, this week Elder Peck and I had a day where a coupe of lessons fell through, so we decided to go get some ice cream. We have this place in our area that has a little cup of soft serve ice cream for like a dollar. (We go there often). Anyways, we went there and got our ice cream and were walking back to our car when we saw an old French lady in her car reading a book. We got in our car and said okay if she is still there when we finish our ice cream we will go give her a Book of Mormon. Well, sure enough she was still there when we finished the ice cream. So I told my companion 'Let's go' and we went up to this old woman's window as she is sitting in her car. We kindly said Bonjour and then I said, 'I noticed you like reading, this book right here (holding up the Book of Mormon) has changed my life. Would you like it?' She kindly accepted and went on to tell us how she had a lot of questions about our church! Moral of the story is to be ready to share the gospel at all times and the Lord will prepare people for you! Even old French ladies in the ice cream parking lot!
I hope you al have a wonderful week! Don't forget how much God loves YOU!
FAAITOITO!
