Ninety-two

Since I will be returning home soon enough, and as well my last weekly

was abnormally long for my standard :) I must shorten this one to not

get expectations to high ;) And to bring my blog to homeostasis.

Thus this week here were some of our missionary efforts in le Pays

Basque, in no particular order.

Hometeaching with Frere Darrort:

We went with Frere Darrort to do our monthly visits of the families

Alcibar and Olazo. Each visit was superb and the power of caring and

kindness were the sentiments that I felt. It's try that no one cares

how much you know, until they know just how much you care.

Sister Boyer visit:

We visited Soeur Boyer in a medical facility.

We mostly were there to provide to her an assuring presence, attentive

ears, and our nonjudgmental viewpoint of her life's events. The most

memorable part is when we testified to her of a Savior who loves her

infinitely, with an everlasting love that could never be dismantled

because of our actions or of others. While we comforted her, I to was

comforted.

District meeting:

No more district meetings!!!! It's sad but no really because meetings

are and ever will be in our lives. The sadness comes from dear

acquaintances that I have gotten to know through these meetings, not

of the words said.

Last big contacting day:

These last Saturday I told Elder Amison that we got to do a day just

of contacting, so that is what we did :) This was the last possible

day we could do a full day of contacting because most/if not all the

days of this transfer have plans. We had some good contacts and meet

some very nice open people. We contacted next to the beach from La

Barre to La chambre d'amour. One way it is a walk of about 5

kilometers and we did it twice, trying to contact everyone, it was

really fun and let me tell you Elder Amison turned as red as a tomato

from over sun exposure. It was really fun though :)

Meal and service:

We did some more wood moving for Frere and Sister Duriot's

neighbor/cousin. It was nice to change things up and we had a really

nice meal afterwards of chicken curry :) It was good 😊

There it was and I would just like to share my firmest belief and

testimony that the Book of Mormon has been precisely composed for our

time in history. There are many similarities between our lives and

theirs.I have learned much from their experiences. It is a testimony

assurer and builder for me. Even though there are not people named

Nephites or Lamanites anymore, our human nature and the recorded

events are quite similar.

Make it a great week!
