Fifty-one

Hello everyone! Sorry for not writing yesterday. We got permission

from our Zone leaders to switch P-Days this week because literally on

Monday everything in Angouleme is closed so we changed it to today.

This week there is not a lot to report on. All our Amis are still on

vacation and Angouleme seems a little empty because everyone seems to

be anywhere else. I will send you a photo of what Elder Curtis and I

have been working on this week. We have been putting all the addresses

in our areabook on this app on our IPads so we can pass people in a

certain area when we are there. As well we have been cleaning and

preparing to change apartments.

This afternoon we have 2 appointments to look at new apartments so it

should be fun. One said it has an Italian shower so I am pretty

excited for whatever that is.

This week I have been thinking on really how lucky we are to have the

gospel and to have a latter-day prophet. It is truly a

magnificent blessing that we have that I can't even describe in words

how lucky we are. May we continue to walk in faith with a hope

singular to the glory of God.

16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the

children of God:

17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with

Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also

glorified together. (Romans 8:16)

39 For behold, this is my work and my glory--to bring to pass the

immortality and eternal life of man. (Moses 1:39)

As we taken up our daily cross and do the things that would make God proud

of us, even if it is found strange in our modern society. May we see

others not as they are right now but as they can become. May we focus

on the most important things in life and not the minuscule. May we all

do some self reflection, a self interview, and look on how we can put

off the natural man and become saints through Christ and be joint

heirs with him and an earthly savior for others.

I love you all and may God bless us all with more humility and joy in

the journey.

With love,

Elder Duffy
