Bonjour,

Well, I saw all of you yesterday, and I just barely sent a whole bunch of emails to recent converts and people in bordeaux, so I don't have a ton of time, sorry!  But my first week in Montauban was fantastic!   We saw lots of miracles!  We're working with 5 people who have baptismal dates and we're finding new people.  The Lord is really helping us.  It's a small place!  THe people here are incredible.  I'll tell you about one miracle from this week.  Wednesday morning we were contacting because we had no appointments and we were like a hundred yards from the church.  We were contacting someone when a black woman came up and talked to elder Tromeur.  He went off and talked to her.  It ends up that she was baptized in Ivory Coast years ago and has been here for 2 years (in a city outside of montauban) and she never found the church.  She saw us adn recognized us and wanted to ask us where the chruch was.  We showed her and she came to church on Sunday.  The Branch president had her share her testimony during sacrament since she was new.  Apparently she had been searching ever since she got here for the church.  Tuesday night she had a dream where she was in a church and there was lots of singing and dancing and she left because she knew it wasn't her church.  She asked a lady in the road where the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints was and she pointed down the road, but then she woke up.  The next morning she came to Montauban for an appointment and met us just down the road from the church.  The Lord looks out for each one of us.  I was so happy that we were where we were when we were.  I know the Lord prepares these things and He leads us towards those who are ready if we work as hard as we can and we remain worthy to receive His guidance.  Everything is great and it was great to see you all on skype!  Have a great week!  Love you!


Love,


Elder Tudor
