Bonjour à tous et à toutes!
Fun fact: Sœur Curtis taught me to play rugby this week. So every morning, the French people just see a long line of sister missionaries running on the sidewalk throwing a rugby ball at each other. We used to just lay on our yoga mats and stare at the ceiling for 30 minutes so this is definitely an improvement. Missionaries here are pretty serious about their fitness *cue the elders talking about their juice cleanse "regime"*
Also I am so excited for General Conference. Being on a mission you get extra pumped for General Conference for two reasons:
- You have more options on gospel library
- You appreciate the words of the prophet more because you see how much it blesses the people you teach.
We had a lot of rendezvous this week but I felt especially grateful for some of the members we visited. A member we visited about a month ago lost somebody close to her last week and so we wanted to make her something. She told us once that she just wants a quote on her wall that says "above all, I believe in Christ." So my companion had the idea I could create a little calligraphy quote for her wall. So we visited her and brought her the little quote and you could tell it meant a lot. The members of France are so incredibly strong and as I watch how they continually live their testimony, even through trials, it's been such an example to me.
This is the quote I made for the member we visited.
Jesus said, "I give unto you to be the salt of the earth; but if the salt shall lose its savor wherewith shall the earth be salted?"
And I have met some truly "salt of the earth" people. Thankful for those who are Christ-like examples to me, we have so much we can learn from the people around us.
Je vous aime tous,
Sœur McOmber
