My French is coming along well. I have set a goal to speak
French as much as I can (sometimes it is hard when you have English speaking
missionaries in the apartment). Sometimes I have parts of dreams in French, but
not a whole dream yet. My companion is super. He is very patient with me and is
always making sure I am okay. The new missionary (Elder Kincaid) is from
California. He has a great desire to learn and keep the all the mission rules.
He speaks French well and he knows lots of interesting facts.
Currently I have
just finished the Isaiah chapters of second Nephi. It was actually really cool
because the French scriptures have things called CAD which give explanation to
some phrases, and other phrases are much more clear when translated in French
(but others not so much) So it is nice to use the French triple combination
with my quad (but not the French Bible, the Church doesn't have its own French
Bible yet so there are lots of weird things there). I've also been studying
more about the atonement and repentance.
The Senior Couple introduced us to a new investigator who is
very eager to learn and get baptized. She says she knows the Book of Mormon is
true because when there is a passage of scripture in the Bible she doesn't
understand if she reads about that topic in the BOM it is clear. So that is
really cool! She gave us little souvenirs too (she is an artist, a very
talented one too) She has two kids. We also gave a blessing to a member last
week and he is doing much better.
The weather is hot, but since I'm already in the hottest
area in the mission it can only get cooler.
