It has been such a crazy week. We got a phone call from our investigator ****. He told us he no longer wanted to be baptized. We told him we would be over that night to talk with him. When we got there, we found out that he has a son that he didn't know about and that he can't see him unless he has a registered address and started paying child support and what not within 4 days. He felt like it was impossible to find housing and a job in 4 days (pretty much is in France). He said that because there was no solution, he was going to move back to the south of France because it wouldn't really matter because either way he wouldn't be able to see his son. We talked with him for a while about it and then told him that if he prayed for inspiration that God would lead him and make everything possible to find an apartment. He refused to do it and had decided to run away from it all. We testified that God can do anything and told him we loved him and then left. Two days later we got a phone call from his friend who is a member. He told us that the day after we were there that **** asked him to pray with him. Afterward he left and that very same day he found a job at a restaurant and the owner told him that he could rent one of the apartments located above the restaurant. HUGE MIRACLE! **** also told the member that he really wants to be baptized now.
It was such a huge miracle and testimony builder for him
and for us. We have not yet seen him but we are going to see him tonight
and we are going to refix a date for his baptism. I am super excited to
see him tonight and talk to him about everything.
Well that was the highlight of the week. Conference
was really good and we had an ami who loved it. I think we will finally
start seeing some baptisms here in Rennes. We have a lot of people who
want to be but just have problems keeping them from progressing and I
have a feeling things are going to start working out soon.
