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 ✌️
