Hey guys!
It sounds like you had a good week! I can't believe Steph is finished! Holy Cow! I am alright. Matoury saw many mighty miracles this week as we strove to get our contacts and work towards our goals. We got to finally work with some of our members and have some amazing lessons with them, which in and of itself was a miracle. I also noticed that as we worked on getting good contacts this week, we found lots of people ready to receive us. The last thing I wanted to mention was as we worked our best through our own efforts to find a building for Matoury, we were blessed exceedingly. We found a building that looked pretty good and called the landlord and he reffered us to the agency he was working through who told us the house was stirictly residential, but Elder Taerea was inspired to call the landlord again and he told us that he didn't really care how we used the house as long as we didn't make any unauthorized changes, and we paid the rent. The only problems was that it was a little expensive and a little farther from the main road than we would have liked, but we were happy to at least have a perspective building after 7 months. Later that same day we got a call from President Magny telling us that he got a call from one of the agencies telling him they found a place we could rent to have church. After 7 months of searching we had 2 offers in the same day! The second house was just what we were looking for; A centralized location cheaper, with everything we need to have a branch there. When I asked when it would be available they told us the 1st. My heart sank a little because I thought they meant of October and we would have to wait another month, but as soon as I found out that they meant September, I almost cried. (not really) We finally have a building, and I know that the blessings are going to continue to flow. Several people we have contacted expressed an interest in coming to Church if it was close enough to walk or ride a bike, because many of them don't have transport to get all the way to Cayenne. Elder Taerea and I are doing well together, and I have noticed a great improvement in the unity of our teaching this week. Wow. I don't even know where to start this week. Heavenly Father loves his children thats for sure! I know of a surety that God answers prayers, but also that he tries your faith! His plan is perfect, thanks to his Son, Jesus Christ, and The Atonement, and through these gifts we can lift ourselves out of the filth and grime of the world and be exalted with them. He prepares his children to hear the gospel and if we are faithful, he will lead us to them. I love the Church, I love its members, and I love its creator. I hope your guys' week this week is AMAZING! Give my love to Steph when you see her this week, and Peace out.
Love,
Elder Ison
