Week 64 - Transfer news

Love the Redds! Gonna miss them!

Salut team!

Hope you're all doing just fantastic! Got lots of stuff for you guys this week - not sure that I'll write about all of it but like we'll see :) here we go.
Monday we had our zone pday- everybody in Belgium came out to Liège! It was super fun, we played some games and ate some food and wrote some emails. It was a party. This weekend was super weird, we saw our zone Friday for zone conf, Sunday for stake conf and then again on Monday! It was especially weird for us in liege - usually we just feel like were banished over because we see no one haha. So it was a fête.

Tuesday we had district meeting, did some missionary work, went to the Redds for soirée familiale. Went on a hunt to find flowers to take to a member that's really sick- it's remarkably hard to find flowers in Liège!

Wednesday we had a nice long day of finding.

Thursday - did some more finding and then we went to Paris! I had to go pick up my titre de sejour card so we went down and stayed with the Versailles soeurs- Soeur Walton! It was sooo fun. And we definitely went to bed on time... Lol no. Sorry.




Friday - got my titre de sejour! I'm legal! Yay! Then we had a couple of hours to wait until our train, so we went to the Arc de Triomphe and walked on the Champs Elysees! It was POURING all day so that was a bit of a bummer. After that we went and got hot chocolate and waited inside, bought a baguette and then got back on the train to Liège! Soaked and freezing. But it was super fun!





Saturday - got up and did studies, we got a text about 8:30 am that Belgium's security level had been raised, that people in general in Brussels weren't supposed to go outside and that they would keep us posted. About 9 we got a text that we needed to cancel our rdvs and stay inside. Fête. We watched Meet the Mormons, played Uno and organized becauuseeeeeeee...

I'm going to Valenciennes! With Soeur Sabando! Crazy! Soeur Nelson's training for her last transfer and Soeur Facer is going to whitewash into Torcy! Lots of crazy changes this transfer. I'm going back to France!

Funny from Saturday - Soeur Redd texted us that she wanted to bring us something - we were hoping for food since we were a little low haha, she brought us the repertoire (the zls had already called us and told us what was going on with transfers) as well as a bag of clementines, nacho cheese Doritos, and a chocolate cake. Thanks Soeur Redd!





Sunday - church was only sacrament meeting and the branches were combined, so that was kind of fun! It was supposed to be the Primary program for the other branch so they went along with that. There were two primary kids, three that were there but one was too shy to do it with both branches there. And two less active kids had parts but weren't there so their teachers replaced them, pretty funny to see adults get up to give their one sentence and then sit back down. "Les prophets sont appellé par Dieu." [Prophets are called of God] They did a good job. And then Elder Kaonohi sang the closing hymn- "reste avec nous seigneur". [Abide With Me] So so beautiful. He also played the prelude on his ukulele haha. That was
sweet.

But yeah. Spent the day in the apartment again, but avoiding packing. It's crazy to be leaving, I feel like I barely got here! But I'm excited for this next adventure.

Today we're still sort of on lock down, we can't take public transport or go to rdvs unless we have a member drive us there and back. So... Yeah. We got permission to come to the Redds! So we're having our bye bye breakfast.

Love you,


Soeur Hansen










Uno!
