9 Semaines en Plus 🇫🇷🍦

After that lesson on Tuesday we went to a soirée familiale with the Kumbo family and their friend who has been coming to church with them. They were running a half hour late so we went and did some porting near by! The 2nd door opened and a Muslim lady came out and we explained The Book of Mormon. She said she never really reads but she will read this book then she invited us inside to explain more. Her husband was a little freaky and definitely wants us to worship Allah but we taught all of retab and have a return rendezvous set up with her. She gave us Algerian cookies and they were soooo tasty (in the bag).

Then we did some contacting to get shakes and chased a bus across centre-ville and along the river. And those are going to be the times I miss the most when I'm so tired from the day but I also feel so good having been outside in the most beautiful place ever. Having weird things happen but also miracles and running so fast after busses that I flash my garments accidentally one or two times.

Wednesday morning we had a really good contacting session and found three people who were interested! We also got bised by a crazy older guy. That was the highlight of my day 😙

On Thursday it was the festival of music in all of France! We went to the park and sang our favorite hymns. One of my favourites is "Au Jardin". It's only in French but maybe you can look it up. We only got a few smiles but that's okay it was super fun.

Have a great week!

10 semaines en plus ?

Coucou Quoi'ts up

I had an okay semaine! Our whole apartment was sick but it's okay "Well I got betta". We also had 3 mangez-vous with the best French families. 1. Aubins (then we went back yesterday for cake and ice cream)  2.Pateas (they own a crêperie man) 3.Évêque Chevée's Family! So we really had some bénédictions this week.

Other than that we did a TON of finding. We even went porting for a couple of hours. Honestly not a whole lot of success at all this week but the three people we did find to teach are really cool!

Saturday we taught two of them! Chari, we decided to pass to the elders because when we met him on the street we couldn't decide if he was crazy.  I mean he might be but he is really serious about progressing like our rendezvous was solid.  Then we taught Arnaud with Soeur Aubin and it was so cool! So he got contacted like a month ago and was given a brochure because he wasn't trop interested and then he texts us and was like, "Hey I read your pamphlet and I want a rendezvous". We were expecting an older French guy but he is a young masters student from a small country in Africa and yeah just so cool. His testimony of Christ isn't there right now and he knows that and he wants to ask questions and he wants to figure out what the truth is. Oh haha, and 40 minutes into the rendezvous he goes "oh that reminds me of that Mormon group in America!" Hahaha oops, coucou c'est nous 😋

This week I also had an angry amie call me and scream at me for 20 minutes. Not gonna lie I laid down and closed my eyes during it. At the end she calmly told me she was free next Monday for a rendezvous.  🙃

Okay picture explanations: I'm working on a whole tub of coconut ice cream with sprinkles as I do language study. Also me and Soeur Packard are working on my essays. She is a great personal tutor. Perks of having 8 missionaries in a ville, lots of pictures of you getting rejected. We heart attacked Pavie and got pitas. This is Anny, a member from Columbia/Canada/Spain/Japan. She just moved here to France.

Okay c'est tout. ALSO, I LOVE MY POPPISON.

AHHHHHH RENNES ♡♡



Salut!

Okay so here is the low down on Rep day. I got a call from the AP's.  I'LL BE STAYING IN RENNES!!!! Soeur Burrup will be with Sœur Packard (my favs for real) as Stls and I'll be taking over the second sœur equipe and polishing my new comp Sœur Skouson. They promised I'll be staying here for the rest of my mission. AHHHHH 😍😍 literally the dream.

Okay so really crazy week. Every day I was like what's happening.. I'M SO TIRED!

So first we had a rendezvous with a new ami, Jackie on Monday. She is the first Tahitian I have taught! She has had a baptismal date in the past but wanted her mother's permission, her mom said no but she still has a desire to be baptized. We met her again Wednesday and oh my I just already lover her. Two rendezvous in and she already has a coke waiting for me when we get there. That's a golden ami. :)

Then we took off to Paris. Took some pics (meaning I gave the elders a photoshoot) at the Eiffel Tower then we went to dinner with a huge group of missionaries. Including: MCBRIDE. Burgoyne and Mackay! There were so many equipes in Paris for legality and for mission council it was so fun. McBride and I were able to catch up and have a sleepover @ the Paris apartment. I love her

Thursday was great. Mission Council was actually really fun. Everyone was relaxed and participating and we actually debated a lot of different new topics. Then us Rennes folks went and got cheesecake to share at the gare. ♡♡

Friday, we had district meeting. It was Eyring's last one so we made it a little special and did it at Parc du Tabor and ended with doing flan sucks. That tradition is kind of dying in our mission so it was fun to see a ton of missionaries do it for their first time hahaha. When I went to do it I dumped it all over myself and Elder Crane (who is leaving our district..tragic) *see picture*

Saturday! We went to our DMPs house and ate Thai food and did yard work for a few hours!  I got a little distracted and just searched for escargot families with my little friend. It was a really good day..but when we got home my tag flew off of me and literally bounced into the toilet bowl. Life is hard.

Have a good week!
