Hello world!
My email will have to be very short today because we only have 20 minutes! Thank you for the birthday wishes! 23!!! I'm really going to feel old when the 19 year old sister missionaries start arriving. (It was announced at our Church’s Semi-Annual Conference on 10/6/12 that there is a new, lower age limit for young men serving missions, 18 yrs old, and young women serving missions, 19 yrs old.)Yes, I was totally shocked about the new missionary age limit. If this isn't a sign of the times I don't know what is. Normally I hear rumors about changes like this, but I heard nothing this time. All the members watching conference at the church laughed because Sr. Dremeaux's and my faces were sooooo surprised. So many new changes will be happening while I'm here. We're starting to get a record number of sisters already, but imagine what it will be in a few months!!
This week we were able to meet with Delphine, the girl who is getting baptized in Bordeaux, only once out of three scheduled lessons. However, it was a very good lesson at a member’s home. It was of course on the Restoration. She knew almost all of it already, but we found out that while she already knows that the Book of Mormon/Restoration is true, she hadn't actually prayed about it. Without diminishing the importance of her current testimony, we both testified that actually asking and receiving a direct response from Heavenly Father makes it so much stronger.
The sisters are doing exchanges this Wednesday and I'm going to Rouen! We went there on my study abroad and I LOVED it!!!!!! It's where Joan of Arc is from or was killed or something. I'll tell you all about it next time.
Sorry for the short letter.
Bethany
