Week 63- Prayer and the bigger picture

November 16, 2020 This week went by so quickly!! I don't even know how it's pday already. This week started off that we were both feeling pretty sick but we were able to get over that and then the rest of the week was great! We had a mission tour so one of the leaders of our church was able to come and have some meetings and give us some really good advice for about 4 days! Sister Montague lost her phone and we were looking for it everywhere and just couldnt find it! So we retraced our steps on the walk from the church to our house and still nothing. We prayed bc her phone is super important and we really needed to find it and then we randomly asked a construction guy (there were like 20-30 of them all in that area) and he reached into his chest pocket and magically pulled out her phone!! We were so relieved and that was definitely an answer to our prayers. Haha he called us back and very agressively told us to get a Sim cars and out in emergency contacts. Lol. He doesn't know the missionary life. I was able to teach English class to a few French girls again and it is sooo nice to speak French again and then help them learn English. They are so chill too. It was a good week, and we were able to have some amazing lessons. We taught one woman about eternal marriage and her husband was there with her and they just had the best reaction ever. They were so happy and loved the idea that they could be together forever. It helped them feel so much hope! They even asked when they could book the temple lol. They are the cutest ever. Mission culture is weird. It really is another world. We don't really have social media, we have a bedtime and a time we have to wake up at, we are with someone not of our choosing 24/7 for at least 6 weeks, we move around a ton on very short notice, and we just serve in the community and teach about Christ. What an interesting life. Some people might wonder why we would ever do it. But let me tell you, it is all worth it. To be able to see lives change, hope come into people's hearts, and see families come closer together. It's all about the bigger picture and I'm so grateful I get to be a small part of it all!! Have a great week everyone! Sister Clement
