MOM DAD I MADE IT 🙌 I DONE DID 9 MONTHS. well Friday, this week is 9 months.

This week we went to St.Mairie twice to practice our song for Sabin Conference and for interviews. (Where I got roasted by President Sorensen heaven help me) Sabin Conference is this Wednesday and I'm pretty excited.. Not to sing though, haha that's gonna be a joke. But I get to see Burgoyne!!

We saw Manoucheca and Roosevens(9) and Wensley(5) again this week. Dah I love them. Roosevens wants us to bring him to church and to primary and he wants to be baptized. He is the most prepared person I have met and he is 9, we brought a member last week and she was shocked by how mature he was and how well he connected things. We are going to give him a little church tour this week. He is going on a mission one day folks. Manoucheca is happier and more open every time we see her, they are the best little family.

I had two Thanksgivings this week! I thought it was going to be harder being away from you guys, but it wasn't because Thanksgiving isn't a thing here so there was no vibe. But the food wasn't as good. I did have pumpkin pie from Costco so that was a blessing.

Friday and Saturday we had exchanges in Nogent, I was with Sœur Erasmus. We had an amazing exchange with a great rendezvous and miracles. On Saturday, we met with Francis. He had been at his friends baptism last week and they set up a rendezvous. Basically, he was the chillest guy ever and asked questions and became our friend and accepted to be baptized. Bon. That's him with the hot chocolate. He's dope and I'm really sad I don't get to teach him again.

We had a rendezvous yesterday with 5 Nigerians it was so crazy. We thought it was just going to be this lady we met on the RER but it was the whole fam, they were a tough crowd but they gave us a few amens, accepted the Book of Mormon and invited us to meet with them again next week so that's a win :') (that's why we took this happy victory picture)

I finished the Book of Mormon again for the 2nd time. I love it a lot. Every book and person in it blew my mind. If you have doubts, about anything, just read the Book of Mormon. Our Elders found some finding ideas and one is to lend the Book of Mormon instead of giving it out. It has worked so well! We also have been creating a 10 scripture chain that teaches the restoration, it takes 10 minutes to read and people start as soon as they see it. We tried it acting like an ami, and by the end you had the biggest desire to pray about the Book of Mormon. We have also been basing our lessons around the Book of Mormon, using a scripture then discussing the principle. I can't wait to read it as a family again. I love the Book of Mormon.

I have a few of names for the temple for you guy(s)  s'il tu plaît

-Cleide Borderie
-Manoucheca Labady
-David Wong
-Giselle + Alban Ramadan

Dac see yahhhh

Week 32: Torcy

Coucou ma famille,

Long week but it's over now yay. So after no changes on the repertoire Sœur Hicken decided to chop her hair then realized she can't do it herself so I did it and I've never touched hair before but hey it's not too bad. Sometimes change is really important, and necessary for your sanity.
On Tuesday, we went to see Sahana! Her and her husband are living with one of our members for a year.  They are from India. She is Hindu, doesn't really believe in the doctrine but was raised in it. Hinduism is kind of really cool, I learned a little bit about it in school but I learned so much from her that I never knew! Haha I asked a lot of questions. She is really interested in our temple, so after she gets back from a little visit to India we are going to plan a day to go visit.
Wednesday, we went to the Prada's. They are an amazing couple from Peru who lived in the states for a few years. When they invited us over they were like, we have something American for you.. it was JELLO! And a Peruvian cake, a lot of you probably know the name of it something Leché, so good.
On Friday we met with Happy! She is from Nigeria (she speaks English :)) We gave her a church tour and she loved it, she said she knows that this is a good place. She has only been here for a couple months and doesn't speak french so it might be hard for her at church, but we will see. 😊
On Saturday we decided to pass by Sœur Lucy Lety (cutest name) with cookies.  She is the Relief Society president in our ward. When she didn't answer we decided to wait 5 minutes, as we were about to leave she walked up and was shocked to see us. She had prayed in the temple that day for help in her house, she is trying to build these cartons she bought for storage in August and hasn't been able to figure it out. We got it!
It was hard being not home with you guys this week. I would've hugged you mom!! It's weird teaching Plan du Salut now, because it's more real. But that's okay eternal families man. ❤️ Je vous aime.
There's 40 somethan days until Christmas!! I'm going to make a countdown chain today haha. Christmas is up everywhere here. It's so funny when people try to say Thanksgiving because they cant make the "th" sound, "Shanksgiving" anyway I'M SO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS, I LOVE MY DORKY LOOKING FAMILY

Hi I'm in Torcy forever and ever

Hey,
So répertoire day was uneventful and my whole district is staying the same. And we now have senior companions I guess (me) and we are to stay in our villes for about 8 months so I might leave my mission after 2 villes 🎉🎉 (un enthusiastic but I will survive... maybe... I hope.. I'm going to cry a lot see yah)
Enough of my negativity... Because Torcy rocks...we met with Chelsea last Monday and got cheesecake and chatted and gave her a Book of Mormon and she is sweet and then randomly texted us throughout the week. She is great!
We got to do some yard work this week and it felt so great yayyyy pants. I collected a lot of pet escargots.
English Classes - We started them on Wednesday and it went so well for the first class. We had three people come, all non-members.
Ruiz family - We had a rendezvous with the Ruiz family, Sr Ruiz and her two daughters. Basically they gave us the spiritual pensée and we just sat there and cried because their testimonies and their love for their family were incredible. It's in the top 5 rendezvouses of my mission.
Also, I locked us out of the apartment and I met a guy named Edwin who was Hindu.  These are pics of Chelsea and Sourivang and these are terrible district photos.. good thing we can retry next transfer.

Week 30: 🇬🇧🕉️🕋

Hi great, great week. I tried peanut butter with pickles bone app the teeth mmm..
This week there was just a continuation of fantastic people making being away from my family and room that much easier and so worth it!

Because miracles always happen Monday nights, God led us to Chelsea. We went to a call opening for a girl in our ward (she's going to Tahiti yayy🌺) and afterwards a ward member offered us a ride to the Gare! We ran onto the RER just in time then when we got off and were headed out the cutest little British accent calls out to us and asks if we are tourists because we were speaking English. We ended up talking for an hour in the Bussy gare about everything and everything and laughing cuz she is stinking hilarious but yeah we taught retab and she was super down. She was raised Catholic but she said she doesn't feel close to God at church, and she doesn't like evangelist churches because they are a little too in your face about God and we were like sweet come to the Mormon church. She said we inspired her and that she knows God wanted her to meet us and she is 18 and super dope.

The Tati's!! The Tati's are both recent converts of almost a year and less active because they work Sundays. Frère Tati is the most faithful guy ever I'm tellin ya and he wants to come to church so bad so it's been amazing working with him and his wife. On Friday we planned to show them a video on temples and then plan a day to go together. We sit down and Frère Tati goes "Hey not this week but the next week I have work off. Can we plan a day to go to the temple in Versailles together? Also, I can come to church this week!"  😮 Ahhhhh and they came.

On Saturday we met Obah + Sumaya + Assiah + etc etc etc. We were batting trying to find a lady named Jeanette but instead found Obah, an Islamic woman + her 5 daughters! She let us in to talk about God and we taught about the restoration and she shared about Islam, I never really knew too much, so it was amazing. We read some of the Quran then we gave them one of the sachets from our Primary Activity! The girls loved it and loved the pictures on the inside of the Book of Mormon. Oh my goodness, cutest little girls. At the end, they said one of their 5 prayers that day with us there and it was AMAZING. They faced the 🕋 and recited a beautiful prayer in Arabic (it sounds like a song) and we just watched and followed along with the Quran. Also little Sumaya had my Jesus plaque on while she was praying to Allah..haha. Then we said a kneeling prayer for their family and got lots of hugs and bizes from the girls and left! It was probably one of my favorite moments from my mission. Never did I ever think I would have little girls with veils on kissing me on the cheek, playing with my hair and drawing me pictures while I talked to their mom about Muhammad.

One of the funniest moments of this week: Sœur Hicken wearing a Grand Teton sweatshirt to do service. Hi we are in France, do you know what that means?? Hahaha too good. I also cleaned a hoarder's house. And had the sensors go off while walking into the grocery store and had a random guy yank up my shirt. Ah Europe..
Bonne Semaine ✌️
