I would just like to take a little moment to thank you all immensely for the support, many prayers, the strength, and the love that you have sent our way this past weekend. We are under tight restrictions, but we are safe. My heart has ached for my brothers and sisters who suffered here and my many prayers go out to them along with your's. It's incredible how despite all the turmoil that's been going on, we have managed to feel complete peace. I know this is thanks to all of those who are uniting in prayer for this land and the sweet souls who were affected by this tragedy. We know that if we have faith, we shall not fear! The work of the Lord will go on. And shall we not go on in so great a cause?
Ar the beginning of this past week our mission president gave us all a challenge to get as many amis as possible to church yesterday. It was by no coincidence that he was inspired to do this, in light of the events that happened this past weekend. We have already seen hearts turn towards our Maker and we know we can increase our faith in this difficult moment. Our president came up with a wonderful slogan to unite our brothers and sisters here in faithful worship of our Lord as we stand together against the evils of the world. It is as follows:
Prier (pray)
Aimer (love)
Repentir (repent)
Implorer (implore)
Soutenir (support)
Do it for Paris, do it for those lives of those who were affected, but most importantly, do it for our Lord. He will bless all those who come unto Him.
Vive la France! 🇫🇷
