God Is Good

Hello my dear ones!

I don't even know where to begin. I guess I'll just go for it since
the librarian is going to kick us out in like 20 minutes.

The Lord is blessing this land, and we are seeing miracles. Things
only possible with God and His angels working at our side have
happened this week, and this is happening in Dijon, but more than that
across the whole mission. The Lord is hastening the work and
preparing these wards to receive more amis, more people reactivated,
and more converts, and yes, more missionaries. I don't remember if I
told you but the number of missionaries in the France Lyon mission is
increasing rapidly!! Its also pretty obvious that the Lord is
preparing Dijon specifically by helping us increase our teaching pool
and by allowing us to do in 3 weeks what we should in 6...this week we
found 12 new amis!!!! Three of those were coordonées from Abraham. 5
of them were people I taught here before but had lost contact with the
missionaries. the others were miraculously put in our path. The
success we have had is not something I boast of, but I feel to share
it with you because it is evidence of the glory of God.

The most sacred part of last week was when about 20 minutes into
sacrament meeting Abraham walked in. Raphael and his wife Joy and I
made a spot for him in between us and I shook his cold whethered
hand...evidence that his journey to the church that day included a lot
of walking...he doesn't exactly live next door. Raphael convinced him
to go up and bear his testimony, which I had the privilege of
translating. I wish I could explain to you all of the details!! Its
just all too wonderful!!

I got letters from my dear sisters harline and madsen...I think of
them like every day!! the rules changed and I can't email them back so
I hope you will forward to them my love. They were such a huge part of
my mission and I am happy to be here in Dijon carrying on the legacy
for one more precious week!!!!!! And then continuing the legacy with
YOU mom and dad in your lovely mission of Washington DC!!! I WILL SEE
YOU NEXT WEEK FOR REALS!!!

Rest assured that this is going to be the best week of all time in Dijon. Our
goal is to have 80 people at sacrament meeting......we are praying for
it. We are working for it. I woul LOVE it if you prayed with us for
that every day. (there were 45 last week...so this is going to take
some major powers from heaven....but things that are miracles for us
are normal for God and His angels) And also lets pray for Abraham. I
talked to Sonia on the phone by the way...she is still not ready, but
she appreciated the call and I was happy to have that moment of
closure. the Albanian family is doing well...they have some legal
document worries but we are happy to be teaching them again!!!

What can I say? God loves us; He sent us His Son. He restored His
church to the earth so that He could keep His promises and so that we
could help Him do that as we make special promises, covenants, and
keep them. I love the Savior. I love how it feels to teach in His name
with the Spirit. I am not a perfect missionary, but I have learned so
much and I will be forever grateful for this blessed part of my life
in this blessed land. God does keep His priomises; He loves us; He
does not forget about us; There is no trial or doubt or fear that we
cannot overcome with Him; Come to Him.

I might be able to write again next Monday but I might not...so just
in case...I love you!! I love my mission!!!! I will see you soon!!!!
HOORAH FOR ISRAEL!!!!

I love you

Soeur Waldron
