Hey family!
Soeur Sabando and I took Christmas pictures last night so I didn't write this email before hand... It's gonna be a quick one!
The first couple days were pretty cold and we did a lot of finding, got frudged and we were just super excited for the Christmas conference that was on Friday! It was super fun, the Babins did a lot of really sweet stuff for us and I loved it. Plus I got to see the Redds and some other Liegeois so that's always fun!
Saturday we taught a couple that have been Amis for almost a year. The wife is really awesome and is basically just waiting for her husband to decide to get baptized so they can do it together. He refuses to progress and its a little tricky, but this week Soeur Sabando and I really wanted to see what their understanding of the restoration was, because if you don't understand that, then you really can't progress. It was so cool! They knew all the parts like priesthood and apostasy and Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon but this time we were able to help them put all the parts together and they seemed to finally get it! So that was a miracle.
We had another sweet miracle this week - We had about an hour to do contacting, it had been a really frustrating day because everybody we talked to was going through trials that could have been soothed if they'd been willing to hear about the gospel. We stopped a lady who started to tell us about the hard things in her life and we offered our condolences and tried to teach her a little about the plan of salvation, she wasn't interested in learning more but told us she was touched by our compassion and accepted to pray with us. The spirit was super strong during the prayer and I felt God reaching out in love to His daughter through us. That's why we're here!
So voilà ma semaine. Je vous aime tous et joyeux Noël!

PS I love the Christmas video but it's way better in French, except for the little African boy who says "for our sins.. For our sadness" that's my favorite part. I watch it like at least once a day.
