SO. Not going to lie -- don't have too anything exciting to share with you- some weeks are just less emailable.
Sorry about last week- we're all praying our ipads come soon (not really, that's a lame desire) because this internet cafe thing is starting to get a little old.
but. little story from last week- we've been doing a lot of member splits because the trio makes it really easy, we just need one, and we have a recent convert, "L", who is basically free 24/7 so we go out contacting with her. She's a very interesting person and we all love her. Anyway, it was my turn this one day to go on the split with "L" and we start and she REALLY wants to go into Republique, (center of town) and just talk to AS MANY PEOPLE AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. Which is adorable. And also not a super effective way to do missionary work (at least the way that I do it, that works for other people) Anyway, contacting with "L". It's kind of like having a blue. Who is older than you. and didn't go to the MTC. and speaks fluent French. It's an interesting experience. So we start and there's like NO one out. So after the second or third "wow this street is really empty" comment I just go "it's okay, I was inspired to come here, there's going to be a reason" she was very impressed. and we ended up finding some people to talk to and had some really good contacts. Fake it til you make it everyone. It works. Besides, if you start with a prayer, have the Spirit, and do what you feel is right, that's inspiration.
This week-
Sometimes you just have those weeks where you can't see anyone. It's really interesting how amis coordinate their schedules to all be unavailable the same week. It's really amazing. Someone should do a study on this phenomenon. but the great thing is it means we get to do lots of finding!
We had our STLs here this week, I went with Sr Lusty and it was SO nice to be in a companionship for a couple hours. The trio is great and hilarious and we have so much fun but there's just something nice about being two by two. and Sr Lusty is great. She was in my blue zone and came up to Tours way back in October to do our finding day! She's great.
Samedi we did some super good contacting- we got all inspired about where to go, go there and saw NO one. Please everybody pray that we will be able to find the citizens of Rennes, they have vanished this week. But it gave us some good time to practice different ways to contact (two sides of the street and doing this leap frogging thing) so when those people reappear we'll be ready for 'em.
YEP. Thats about all I've got for you guys but just know how much I love you!! Have a great week!
