This week was great! and also hard. Oppostion in all things! Only missionaries get excited about that!
Started this week with "L"- did a soirée familiale with her, she's been reading "Our Heritage" and we wanted to watch a Restoration movie with her. She picked Ephraim's Rescue. It's great. Favorite "L" line from the night (after Ephraim Hanks miraculously heals a bunch of pioneers) "He got there too late, so many people died." Yep "L". That's how the priesthood works. I love her.
Tuesday night we went on an exchange to teach "C" (I don't remember if I've told you about her..?) anyway we wanted to take a member but not overwhelm her with four people so I went alone with Sr "A". She's such a character, kept having me take pictures of us and making me promise to send them to her. Don't worry Sr "A", I'm all over it. Well, I had to write it down in my planner, otherwise I would have totally forgotten. Missionary brain is a problème grave everyone. So just to summarize that night (and the picture I'm sending) it was me- 20 year old American, Sr "A", 50-something French woman, and "C", 40-something from Chad. And somehow I was supposed to be the one teaching that night.
Wednesday we had our interviews with President Babin, I love him and Sr Babin is just a peach. That night was PPP (ping pong, pancakes and pensé spirituelle), and a girl that Sr Stevens and Sr Ellis met came! She's Chinese and doesn't speak French but MIRACLES Elder Chen, one of the like 5 Chinese elders in the mish was at the church finishing up his interview so he came and translated the spiritual thought for her! It was SO cool. L'eglise est vrai, toute le monde. [The church is true, everyone]
Thursday we had our zone conference, it was a party. After lunch we were bugging the APs about when we're getting our iPads because "they were shipped yesterday" has been the answer for the last month or so. Guys, mission secret, the APs don't know anything more than we do about what's going on in the mission.
Friday we went out to Brécé to do some jardinage [gardening] for a member. SO fun. We went a while ago and planted flowers and then Friday we went back to pull the weeds (and mostly grass) that have grown up around them. We were super sore for like three days after that. But got some good pics in the countryside. There were daisies everywhere. I love daisies!
Saturday we did some stuff, got some rendez-vous cancelled on us. Got fruged by our baptismal date, got persecuted on the bus by some stoners, BUT we also did a passby so that was good. Soyez forte day. [Be strong]
Sunday was great- did planning which in a trio takes exponentially longer than in a companionship. Ate some crazy good dinner- eternally grateful for Sr Walton inspiring us to actually cook meals and not eat sandwiches everyday.
and TODAY
sorry for this beast of an email!
We went to Mt St Michel again to take Sr Walton! Super fun! Super good weather! Got lots of great pics, they're just all on Sr Walton's camera.... sorry fam, I'll try and get those sent to you at some point!
Love you all have a great week!
