Hey team!
Well, I've procrastinated writing this email pretty much as long as humanly possible haha. Trying to come up with some good stuff to send you but my brain is just like "...." Probably because we ate kebab for lunch. And made Madeleine gauffres for dinner yesterday (they're really good). But we felt like we were going to die. Sugar overload.
Pretty good week. Went to Belgium twice. Had exchanges. Had interviews. Made lots of Madeleines. Visited members. And now we're writing emails again!
Tuesday was SO COLD. It was a really cold week but Tuesday was the worst, and we were supposed to have a rdv but it got cancelled at the last second so we ended up with about 6 hours of solid finding. Miserable haha. We finally were just too cold so we took the tram for a while to warm up a little. Went to FHE at the church that night, us, the ward mission leader and the ward missionaries. We're a pretty cool crew. Just need some amis to show up.
Wednesday we had a couple mangez-vous which was awesome. One was with this family who live literally and hours drive from the church. It was fun to be with them, though - they have a daughter who's about to turn 19 and put her papers in so they've been shopping for her clothes and shoes and it was so cute to see how excited she is!
Thursday we went to Lille for our exchanges. I was with Soeur Ulrich, she's super cute. We taught a cool convert couple who recently moved from Brazil about the temple! Did some finding, had some good conversations.
Friday was awesome. We had our interviews, my last ones with Pres and Soeur Babs before I die. Bittersweet. I love them. Then we had district meeting (they're doing interviews at district meetings starting this transfer). And then headed back to Valenciennes, we went straight to our ward missionary meeting, then had council de paroisse [ward council] and taught our nine year old ami who came with his mom and older sister who has seminary on Friday nights. We were exhausted that night. In the best way.
Saturday we went to the old elders' apartment to make an inventory of everything there for the office. It was fascinating. We also found out that they ordered like 3 boxes of Book of Mormons and a trillion brochures that we need to some how get to our apartment which is like a mile walk away. Well keep you posted on that one.
Sunday was great. It's been really fun to get to know the ward better- there's such a difference once you've started visiting them in their homes, it feels like you have friends and the ward feels like home. Taught some lessons (miracles). This ward rules. Our dmp announced the Tuesday night FHE over the pulpit during his talk and we're having a raclette fete with the ward
missionaries and him because he found out that Soeur Gilbert and I love raclette. And the JA ward missionary made a meal calendar and went around asking people to have us over. So rad.
And today. We went shopping and ate kebab. Fete.
Love you guys! Have a great week!
Soeur Hansen
