Stories: Jeanne d'Arc

Jeanne d'Arc 14 Jan 2005
While serving in Rouen (still can't pronounce it right), the eight of us Elders would try to do something together on P-Day—team building, bonding, goofing off, take your pick. Once while visiting the tower where Jeanne d'Arc was chained as a prisoner, we climbed the stairs to the very top of the tower. The floor of the tower actually extends past the tower walls and you can see straight down 150-200 feet or so to the outside ground through the cracks of the wooden floor. It was actually quite scary, knowing these planks are at least 500-600 years old, and not knowing if they would support our weight. So the bravest (a/k/a Elder Yates) among us stepped over the wall onto the planks but quickly hopped back over to the solid center. Soon, there was a challenge to see who would take the most steps before chickening out and coming back to the safe area. For a while, nobody could break the three step record. A few p-days later, we were back taking 5 steps, then 6, 7, 8... Before the next transfer, we were up there with a stopwatch timing who could sprint around the whole thing the fastest! No great missionary conversion story ever came out of this. It is just one of a million stories just like it that alumni could tell of the stupid things missionaries do, and to this day, no one knows why. So keep praying for those missionaries out there. They need it to survive!
