~ weave-making class ~

Hey folks!

       Week 4 out in the boonies and it's been so good. Not too many changes, just teaching our amis the sweet message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

        This week, President sent us a cool article about understanding Islam (so good, 5 stars) and it's been really helping us when we're finding. Sometimes people open the doors and we're like, "Hi, do you believe in Jesus Christ?!?!?" And they're like, "No, I'm Muslim" or better "No I'm Catholic" (...?). And I love just talking to people about their religions and all the things we have in common. It's been really interesting and people are a lot more open when you understand what they believe. 

        Also! This week the Tour de France came through Nancy when we were on exchanges!!! No we did not see the bikers because we are consecrated missionaries BUT! we did see a bunch of the floats and it was a huge party all over town! In place of Tour de France I taught with Sœur Newsom in the government housing. We walked in and there were tons of African mamas all doing each other's weave with yarn. It was amazing. Even though their children were running all over the place and yarn was flying through the air, I felt the Spirit really strong during that lesson. It kind of follows you when you're testifying of Christ. I'm so grateful for the peace and joy that comes from the Spirit and for the people God sent me here to teach. 
 
Everywheh stew!!! (your pigeon for the week)

Centre Pompidou. I don't really know what I expected from modern art but I'm pretty much an expert now...Sœur Madsen taught me some stuff... 


This gorilla symbolizes the inner turmoil we have when we don't keep the commandments 


These 4 squares represent the corners of the earth that will be gathered in the gathering of Israel 


This rock means we need to build our foundation upon Christ because He is our rock 


These chairs and violin represent the music and spirit that come into our lives when we befriend and show charity to others 


This sheet music symbolizes how we all play a part in the symphony of the gospel 


This one doesn't symbolize anything it's just a kaleidoscope 


This cathedral is so cool it looks like a lil fairytale castle
