Ten

This week has been really cool. We had a a huge conference with a

third of the mission in aix en Provence. 

Aix en Provence is by Marseille. I guess Marseille is like super sketch in some parts and missionaries need to be in by 6 pm. For the conference Elder Adler spoke.  

He is in the third quorum of the seventy. We talked about really focusing on the temple and not just baptism.  Baptism really is just a stepping block to the temple. 

We had a really good French meal so that never hurts.  I

had a good conversation with someone I knew in high school: Elder Wade.

In France if you go right into religion it doesn't work out very well.  One thing we do for contacting is talk about families and tie that into the gospel.  People are usually more open to that.

Cool experience for the week: I was on a train about to get off and

I had the feeling that I should compliment this random guy on his bag.  After I did that the guy just started talking to us and he was really cool. He said “are you the Mormons?”  and we said, “Yes”. 

After that he said, “my girlfriend goes to sports extreme” (which is like a sports thing at the church). Then we invited him to come so hopefully he does :) 

It was just really cool to see the Holy Ghost guiding me. So that is my challenge for everyone this week.  Do the prompting they feel from the Holy Ghost. If you don’t know what the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit is there is a really good

definition on mormon.org.

Well, everyone make it a fantastic week and if your ever are feeling

down, just smile till you feel happy. Believe me it works:)

Love Elder Duffy
