tuesday- we had an interesting meeting with a potential named hasan that we contacted on a bus. he was having marriage troubles. we tried to teach him the restoration but he wouldnt listen. he was more trying to get the answers he wanted and teach us. so ma and my companion whom i loev sister chelson just bore our testimonies about the saviour and his atonement and were at peace when we left the lesson. we had a lesson with sister hackner about how we can more fully feel gods love in our life through prayer and and church and scripture study. the basics are so important!

friday- we visited with sister macpherson. her undderstanding of the gospel is limited because she has a disability but her taught her about the plan of salvation. she has the desire to do the work for her family and especially her son in the temple so it was nice to see that we helped increase her knowledge of the great plan of happiness. i taught a whole lesson by myself in french to sister desir! it was tough but i definately had the gift of tongues! it was great to know that i could help ease her concerns in a language she understood so im grateful to be able to help her in that way. we taught sister hackner about prayer. she taught me that sincere prayers are really the ones that get anwsers so dont let satan put those doubts in your mind!
