Hello my loved ones,
So the week started a little slow with not a lot happening, which can be rather frustrating, but than Thursday came...We all hustled in to Bordeaux for another Zone Conference and this time we were blessed to be with a General Authority again. Elder Francisco J. Vinas of the First Quorum of the Seventy came and instructed us, it was so cool! He is definitely an inspired man called of God. I learned so much in just a few short hours. He carried the Spirit so strongly with him and had so much love to give to all of us, it was wonderful! It's amazing to think that the Lord calls the most ordinary of people to the most extraordinary things. I've come to realize that the leaders of the Church are so remarkable and so talented because they've always dedicated their lives to the Lord and His work, even before they were called.
After the wonderful Zone Conference the work picked up in Périgueux. We had plenty of rendez-vous to keep us busy and found two new amis. We also saw a little miracle when we were placed in the path of a young woman that I had spoken with two or three previous times, she finally said she'd listen, she now has a copy of the Book of Mormon and is excited to study it, that is why we must always contact everyone, even the juene filles :)
I love you all so much and I hope that you have a wonderful week, thanks for everything.

Elder Miles Marsala
