Chére famille,
What a week...its flown by!
Time just will not slow down! Just in case you guys don't know, It is
almost November. Which means Thanksgiving and Football...too bad we have
neither of those things in France.
A few fun highlights from this week:
- We went to the local country club in Nice and hit golf balls for an hour on the driving range...(it was nothing like our course back home, ours is much nicer)
- We were at the prefecture this week doing legality for some other missionaries in our district and there was a lady behind me in line. Turns out she is a member of the church from Argentina living on the border of Monaco and she has been looking for the church in Nice for a couple years now and we got her number and invited her to church and the whole 9 yards. #findingthoselostsheep
- We actually got into see Anton this week, a less active that we've been trying to see for almost two months now. We saw him at his house and invited him to church. It was quite powerful and he said he'd be there next week.
This week I thought a lot about darkness and light and
how as representatives of Jesus Christ we go into the darkest and
coldest corners of the world on His behalf, acting in His name. There
were days this week when we met people who's lives were in darkness,
they were sad and alone. And has we followed the guidance of the Spirit
we found several people that we are going to be seeing again this week
who are in desparate need of their Savior's love. And as I reflected on
this fact it brought great joy to my soul to know that we can all be
that light in the lives of others.
On the back of my planner is a picture of the resurrected
Christ with the scripture from 2nd Nephi: Wherefore ye must press
forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of
hope, and a love of God and of all men". We must press forward with that
Light!
Sorry there isn't a lot for you all today.
This week was just good, hard, grunt it out missionary work. But I'm so
excited to see where this coming week takes us. It is so incredible to
see the hand of the Lord in our Lives.
Beaucoup d'amour,
Elder William Montgomery
