Well Hello again!
Well what a week! It was an absolute rollercoaster! First off, if you want you can forward my letters to the family. Secondly Hunters Paintings are so sick! I've showed all the missionaries im around and the all think they are so cool! My favorite one is the Hand Flowers one. I like the other ones and i think artisticly they are solid but the Hand Flowers are so so so COOL! I really wish i could buy it off of you Hunter. When i get home i want one of you paintings in my house! Thirdly Carson's Birthday!!!!! Luckily i was able to recognize Carson's Birthday out here! We were walking on the road exactly at 4:47 and i Yelled HAPPY BIRTHDAY! So now me, Elder Draleau and a lot of weirded out French People know it was your birthday! Happy birthday carson! I found a scripture that reminds me of you and your stature. It's Mormon 1:2. It is simple but pretty cool! So yeah i think that is it for now on that stuff!
Like i said this week has been something else. We have seen short comings and so many Blessings! First just to get them out of the way short comings...... We had 4 innactive rendez'vous drop us, lost contact with two other amis, only taught one lesson in the presence of a member, and had a recent convert who prayed out of a book tell us he wont change and he is comfortable not receiving the Melkezidick Priesthood. kinda sad. But anyway not focusing on that so many good things happened and once again it is only because Heavenly Father needs work to be done and we are really just puting faith in Him. This week we gave out nine copies of The Book of Mormon and set up return rendez-vous with all of them! It is sick! Also we got let into one door by a 19 year old guy named Jonathan! Cool right?! THEN we enlarged our teaching pool to around 20 people now and received a refferal! I am so happy! This last week did have lots of struggles and trials but ca va. That is life as a missionary! Also two other cool things. News from Fairytale Land Blois!!!! Ousmane has another date for baptism and willl be baptized later this month! Also we found a man named Chris when i was there and i never got to teach him however We found him and now he has a date for February 5! Sick right!!!! I am pretty content on peut dire! So yeah it has been quite the week! But things are going well and i am really loving Elder Draleau! He is such a nice guy and he really works super hard and has a ton of Faith. We are making a really good team right now!
That is pretty much it to be honest not to much else. But really i have to testify that miracles will always come after the trial of your faith. The work here for me is not done until i leave so i am not going to say that this is our highest point yet but here i have seen it really low and reallly high! When i see it high it is when we are obedient, prayerful, and ambitious in exercising our faith. When its low i am not being the missionary i could be. So yeah that is my little thought for today and this week! I hope all is going well back home and i miss you all really bad but it is ok!
I LOVE YOU
Elder Hoopes
