Bonjour ma famille et mes amis
So it's been an awesome week with my new companion Elder Dearing, we've had great fun and a good start to the transfer. Our amis are doing great and it's so much fun. We had another baptism!(just kidding) the ward did but we didn't, one of the bishop's daughters was baptized on Friday night and it was so awesome. The Spirit was super strong and one of our amis that came looked at us and said, "that was strong, I've never felt anything like that or anything that strong in my life." We we're pretty excited to hear that. It's amazing how much the Spirit resides at things like Sacrament meeting, Baptisms, Temples, and thost manners of things, naturally I'd say, "it's churchy of course there's the Spirit" but I've come to realize that the Holy Ghost is there because at all those things, ordinances and covenants are being made with God, our Heavenly Father. The Holy Ghost must be present, and he testifies the truth of these ordinances and the truth of Jesus Christ directly to our hearts. This is why we must go to the Temple often, always go and be there for Sacrament, and attend the baptismal ceremonies in our wards and stakes, the Spirit is there wanting to testify to us, of course it can come at anytime-but in places like these, it's just so constant and clear.
Elder Dearing found us a miracle man the other day, we were quite pressed the first time he saw him so he didn't stop to talk. Then later in the day after someone had not held there appointment we had some time. Elder Dearing saw this man again and went to talk to him and set up a rendez-vous for the next morning. As it turns out this man was baptized in the Colorado Springs 2nd or 3rd ward in January of February of 2000, after 6 months he got transferred and has been astranged from the church ever since. He's been back in France for 5 years and in Carcassonne for 2, he said he's missed the Church but didn't know how to find it again and It found him.
We have a girl in our ward from Mexico that speaks Spanish-obviously-and French, a few weeks ago we met a couple from Mexico that speaks a bit of English and not French, well we put them in contact with the member and things are going great! It's amaazing how the Lord works, puts these three people from Mexico together in Carcassonne, they lived 1 and a half away from each other in Mexico, it's amazing.
The work is going great and it's such a blast, I love being here in the South of France with these beautiful souls. I'm so grateful for this work and for our Savior Jesus Christ for this truly is His Gospel and no one else's.
I love you all and I thank you all so much for your love and support. Have a great week!

Ps: they don't really do Halloween here, they do it just a bit, it seems to be an excuse for young adults to party. I'm some kids go out for candy but it's really not all that popular here
PSS:Today is 5 months already, time flies
