THis week was great!!!

We had conseil de dirigeants on wednesday. (I think its mission leadership counsel in English) All the Zone leaders and sister training leaders get together and we talk about things that we can do better and things that we're doing well. It was great. Kinda stressed me out a bit because there is so much to do! But I loved it. 

I'd like to just share an experience with you all. 

We have an investigator whose name is Gervais. He's at university and he's just great. All this week he wanted to see us and we were supposed to see him saturday but his in laws came so he had to go to the other end of the island. But he came to church yesterday and he seemed so happy. We had alesson fixed with him for yesterday at 4 in the afternoon but we showed up and he told us that he was still busy and asked us if we could come back later in the night. So we fixed to come back at 8. First time that I've ever done a lesson that late to be honest. We show up and he showed up at the same time as us. Anyway he then started asking questions about what he read. I'm telling you. Gervais feasts upon the words of Christ. He has so many sticky notes and papers in the Book of Mormon with his questions on it. He uses all the references and is just so awesome. He then started telling us that he had a really hard week and al lhe wanted to do was see us and was afraid that we would no longer want to see him because he kept pushing back the lessons. We assured him that everything was okay. 

Then he started to tear up in explaining that he felt like he couldn't handle it anymore that week and he took his Book of Mormon everywhere and when he opened it, he just felt so touched and looked at a reference that gave him the definition of temptation which is,"A test of a person’s ability to choose good instead of evil; an enticement to sin and follow Satan instead of God. 

He told us that he was ready to just let out his anger on everyone but then he read that and was really touched. When he shared that I felt so much love for him. The spirit was really strong to be honest. It felt like a big hug. I love the BOok of Mormon and our investigators. This gospel is true!!!

Love you all
