Ça va toi ;)

Salut!

So it was a great week! We just got transfer news and everything is about the same. We are getting another equipe of elders in Rennes though, we are 8 missionaries here man, 8! This is transfer 10/12 :')

We had exchanges with our Rennes Sœurs to start out this week. Sœur Packard is in her 3rd transfer and she is so stinking fiery I love her. We met some really solid people together.

Haha okay funny story. The sun was amazing this week so we decided to take language study out on our patio. Our back door doesn't have a handle on the outside so we had it cracked open. The other soeurs were about to head out and forgetting that we were out there, shut the door and left. And for some odd reason put their phone on airplane mode. WE WERE LOCKED OUTSIDE FOR 4 HOURS. The clouds rolled in and it started raining lol so the elders came and helped us out by throwing a coke and a jacket over the fence.

Our ami Ketan from India came to our JA soirée on Friday night and then he came to church Sunday! He doesn't speak any French but he was taking in all the translations. It was a weird Sunday so it's kinda cool to pick and choose what you want to translate to your ami hehe. He is awesome though. We followed up on a chapter we gave him to read and he has seriously studied it more than once throughout the week.

Another funny story haha. We always say Ça va toi in a really creepy deep flirty voice around the apartment (we shouldn't usually tutoi as missionaries) Sunday we were all in the car with the Bishop's wife, me and soeur Packard were the children in the very back and someone did something in the front and she blurts out "ÇA VA TOI?!" We were laughing so hard and she was so frustrated because she thought she didn't know what it meant and we had been saying it all the time. Poor girl.

Today we are going to St.Malo the ocean with some JA and one of our amis. ♡🦀🐚

Have a great week!

Also, it's Elder Eyring that is coming in with a bleu he is my new DL lol 

Sheri got booted off the island and is going to Antony.

Salut!

So this week it's 1 yr in Europe whoa man!

All is très bien ici. We've had the greatest success with Facebook finding + Skype lessons! Soeur Burrup joined an Indians in Rennes group and messaged a few people and everyone was so receptive! We taught a guy over Skype who was seriously so cool. He is Seventh Day Adventist but has a few doubts and questions but has so much faith, he was so sweet. We're going to teach him at the chapel this week! We had a rendezvous with another guy from India at our chapel, he was so open to learn and to share what his thoughts were. He said he thinks this is his 2nd chance with God. I asked him to say the closing prayer in Hindi and he did, Jesus is Yeeshu. I was super skeptical about Facebook and lessons with men over Skype but idk we talk to crazies all the time on the street so this is honestly a more selective contacting method haha. AND IT WORKS.

Also, we've contacted so many men students this week. None of them are amis but if I ever come study here in France I will have friends haha. I contacted myself a stalker about two weeks ago so that's fun. Also we taught like 4 Mohammed's this week. Morocco Mohammed. Pakistani Mohammed, Mohammed Ali. Mohammed who was eating a Kit Kat. It's pretty hard to keep track of. Mohammed Pakistani was literally Kasen but Indian version.

On Friday we had the most BEAUTIFUL day ever. It felt so good outside and everyone was out and the sun was shining and we went to the pretty part of the city to find and we got a Catholic grandmas number (never happens) and I got rejected by my future husband whose name was also Mohammed, then we got ice cream and went window shopping during our dinner hour and there was a man in the centre singing Ring of Fire but with a funny French accent and I really loved my life.

Saturday we went to a Marché to find a guy that works at a boo boo stand. Do you guys want boo boos? Or like shirts at least? I can do that. Myla in a Boo Boo 😍😍 or there is the prettiest middle eastern dresses!! Maybe a veil? I kinda want a veil. check out the bread I got for 1€ .

Sunday was neat, I love our ward! We have some really cool JA and recent converts. Our ward also has a ward repas like every other week. Oh la la I love food.

Josué is doing well and so is Michelle. Gabriele will most likely get baptized the end of this month if his dad gives permission. (Have I even written about Gabriele?) If you go to the Temple I would ask you to put Michelle and Pavie on the prayer list. Michelle is going through a cancer treatment that is making her really tired.

Today we are having District Pday. We are going to an Asian Buffet and then playing soccer then more n'importe yay!

Sorry this email isn't the greatest spiritually.

I love you guys for real. Bonnes Fêtes ce week-end ici.😘 Send me a piece of cake.

Salut!

Okay so I've had the funnest/craziest/fatiguent/all over the place week.

Monday: We had a lesson with an amazing ami and her cute little kids.

Tuesday: Zone Conference! It was one of my favorite conferences. There was a lot of practice teaching and activities and even though we have a pretty big zone, I'm used to trizones in Paris so it was so laid back and small. Right after Conference we had a lesson with our new ami Josué who we contacted last week, we knew he was going to be solid when we saw him. It was fun, we just pulled in two elders from our zone to teach with us and it went great. He is so interested and open. We extended him the baptismal date of April 28th but he was like "that's too soon!! I need to read this book and know all the doctrine because I can't share it with my friends or invite them to church if I don't know everything!!" We explained more about the conversion process and after General Conference I am sure he will accept a date for April or May. ♡ Then we started exchanges with the Cholet Sœurs!

Wednesday: We contacted like no other! I was with a Sœur in her 2nd transfer and it was so fun. It made me miss my bleu and training. This Sœur is an amazing missionary and her French is already so much more grammatically correct than mine it's so cool to see her potential and see those traits that I still want to develop in my mission or that I have developed through my mission and now can see that I have. In my 2nd transfer I couldn't carry a contact on my own but now it's fun and it doesn't stress me out and I'm pretty good at stopping everyone I see. Even if I haven't felt like it, I've always been moving forward!

Thursday: Angers Exchanges! It was pouring rain so me and my Sœur decided to hop on the tram and do trajet pour tout le matin. It's one of my favorite things, sitting down and talking to whoever sits next to you. We found one new ami and had so many great conversations with people. At one point we were talking to one lady and then the 5 people sitting or standing around us joined in, it was so unlike French people but it was great. Then we went to a cute little shop for a Hungarian dessert and continued finding! That night we left for Paris with the ZL's for mission council. I got to stay at my old apartment in Torcy and see my friends at the Kebab shop. So weird :')

Friday: Mission council was at the mission home and it was so much fun to meet there with most of my mission friends. It was super tranquille and really short, our mission is just climbing and for the most part meeting all our goals. Then we got to meet with the AP's afterwards since there was a grève for SNCF and we couldn't get back to Rennes till Saturday morning. Then we took a Paris sight seeing/weekly planning trip with the ZL's and it was so much fun. The elders needed to get new glasses so we went and helped them pick them out then we set goals and make calls while we waited but then we had to wait for two hours but it was still so fun idk why, finally we left and before heading to Nogent to stay the night we all ran to La Seine and saw the sunset behind La Tour Eiffel. And it was beautiful outside oh my goodness so much happiness. I have too many pictures for my weeklies why is my drive not working!?!

Saturday: Headed back into Paris to catch a train at 7h40 and headed home. Changed for service, painted someones house, ran to catch another train to our ami Michelle's house in Combourg (beautiful look it up, I have pictures of the castle but my tablet isn't wanting to send pics is it?) it's too hard to describe how amazing and how prepared Michelle is. I'll have to do that over Skype. She will probably be baptized by then. But she fed us chilli and guacamole and tortilla chips, I love her American side. She has been listening to last general conference and has loved it. I can't wait to hear all about what she thought of this conference. Michelle reminds me a lot of Aunt Deena, she is pretty funny. When we got home we went to the church to watch the morning session of conference. That was pretty cool...If you didn't feel the power of President Nelson's calling during his sustaining you did during his talk on Sunday. I have chills.
WHATTTTTTT  😭😭😭😭😭😭 I COULD GET MARRIED IN THE LAYTON, UTAH TEMPLE!?!? 😭😭😭😭

IS THERE ONE IN BELGIUM!?!
I knew it would happen soon. :') we can live in Layton during the Millennium.

I haven't heard the afternoon session but President Oaks and then President Nelson holy moly power line up.

Luxembourg got a chapel, the Versailles Ward Split into two and Rennes probably will too! People still think Mormons are polygamists but more and more people are saying oh yeah my brother or my friend is a Mormon, kinda cool.

The end of  President Nelson's talk Sunday morning really freaked me out. Il FAUT LIVE IN THE SPIRIT BECAUSE THE WORLD IS ABOUT TO GET EVEN HARDER.

Sunday Sundayyy (like Monday Monday - Mama's and the Papa's) was so good! Our ami Josué came to the Saturday afternoon session which was at... 14h on Sunday. It's where Elder Oaks read the book of Numbers. It's okay Josué was patient. He literally took notes, followed the songs sang in the cantiques, and stayed awake!! Afterwards we asked him his sentiments about conference and he said that it's something that really makes him want to change. He said that the story of the man who got baptized after attending church for over 30 years really touched him and he knows that God wants him to get baptized. He is getting baptized in May, he agreed to it and wants it he just won't say yes when we extend an actual day the little stinker.

We were planning on going to Mont St. Michael aujourd hui but everything is closed because of Pâcques. I might actually get some good email time. I'll send my thoughts and notes from conference next!

Love y'all

PS. If you wanted to know how most people pronounce my name its Sœur "Nigh" and they aren't used to making that "I" sound so it just sounds throaty and weird haha.

Salut!

It's been the fastest week of my life. We started out in Nantes for exchanges and it was so much fun. The Nantes Sœurs treated us to some Raclette for dinner then Tuesday me and Soeur Nickerson ported some castles in the country side and really practiced trajet contacting. We had to take 2 trains back to Rennes. The first one we had to sprint to catch and then we missed the 2nd one because we were waiting for sandwiches :/ we got home eventually.

Then we saw some miracles in our sector and made new friends. It's fun, we have two universities in our sector so meet a lot of students. We met two guys who are living with a returned missionary from Utah who is here for an internship, they were so chill.

There was a huge manifestation this week that we didn't know was going to happen lol. We got stuck on the same street as the protesters and everywhere we turned they turned haha it was freaky

Wow we have so much fun but my weekly's are getting so boring désolée uh

This week we are so crazy busy. Tomorrow is zone conference, we are giving a formation on the Book of Mormon and then we have exchanges right after until Wednesday night then we have other Soeurs coming in until Thursday night, then we have mission council Friday. :')

I have the cutest video of one of our amis singing so I'll try to figure out the drive!!

Love you guys gros bisous 😘😘

Rennes ♡🍀♡

Salut!

So I said goodbye to Happy and Manoucheca and some other amis in Torcy then peace out. Oh so cool! Manoucheca is looking for a house in Rennes!! For real!!

Rennes is amazing. And so is my companion. Sœur Burrup went to Baylor but is originally from Colorado. She is so chill. We have great amis and members and recent converts. And roommates!! Oh my goodness everything feels too good to be true honestly.  You are a lot happier when your busy working too, with all the calls we have to do and planning and rdvs and finding, I have had no time to just have me time and it's been awesome. I don't think I'm an STL because I am an amazing missionary with amazing teaching skills I think I am because I need to learn from everyone around me and I get to have a change and I can really really profité my last 6 months!!!

We had great rendezvous...and oh my goodness had the weirdest contacts. We ran up 11 flights of stairs, died our food green and totally failed at Trajet contacting haha its been a good start. We also got dropped by a 7th Day Adventist, too bad.

Today we are being the wacky Americans and we are and having photo shoots all over the city hahaha. Right now we are sitting in a Crêperie and oh my happy place.

Tonight we have our first exchanges for the transfer and we are going to Nantes! I am so excited. Then we have the Angers sœurs coming to Rennes for exchanges on Thursday and Friday.

I'll send the pics of our photo shoot later lol. I'm dying my hair brown I decided. Bye I love it here!

Last week in Torcyyyy 💃💃

Salut!

Donc, a new transfer is here and I'm peacin out of Torcy to go to Rennes! I got a fun call from Près and I'll be a Sœur Formatrice (STL) for the Rennes zone. I'm just kind of ignoring that part though and am just so excited to go to Rennes, especially right now as it is warming up. Sœur Raj just left Rennes and it was her favorite ville of all time. I'm going to be in a 4 man for the first time and in a big ville for the first time. I'm so pumped my goodness. Bretagne I'm coming for yah 🦀🐚💃

This last week our équipe died and were so sick all week. We sucked it up for our rendezvous and had some of the best but other than that we didn't do much finding besides on the phone. Our rendez-vous with our amis from Sierra-Léon went so well! (besides the husband saying he'll be there when he was actually in Paris, classic) Christo (la femme) invited two of her friends!! They're both amazing and interested in learning more and attending our church. We set up a return rendezvous with all of them! Then we had a rendezvous with an ancient ami and ended up teaching her whole family! Idk, I've honestly never taught that many families so it was a great week. We also gave a short church tour to a man named George, it was like 20 minutes long maybe but it was a rendezvous that we talked about afterwards and were like...yeah he is getting baptized this year. He was so open, not like we all believe in the same God open but like he is searching for those things that are missing! I'm excited for George.

I also went to Paris on Thursday for my Legality! Me and Sœur Foley and Sœur Giles went together! It was fun to catch up and get lunch with them.

Hahahaha okay my awkward...one of my awkward moments for the week. We met this lady two weeks ago at a gare and she was like hello I go to the ward of Meaux but that's the same chapel as Torcy cool yay and then there was a baptism for Meaux yesterday we went to haha and when we got there she was standing there with some other women and we were just talking to them and I was like are you guys staying for the Baptism?? And she was like.. It's mine. And I was like uhhaha ah bon.

Oh also Rodolphe says he will get baptized after he runs for Mayor in 2 yrs, YAY!

I won't say that I'm sad to leave Torcy because I'm actually going to cry happy tears on the way out but I love the people I have met here! Frustrating people, but I love them a whole lot and I've learned so much here!

Love you guys can't wait to finally eat the candy you sent in my package GROS BISOUS 😘

(I liked this picture of the temple and the escargot. The Sœur who posted it on FB said always make sure you are taking steps toward the temple even if they are snail paced!)

N'inquiétez pas

Salut,

Oh my goodness my week was nuts.

Tuesday.. I ate ice cream for dinner.

Wednesday...We did service for Sœur Jacquet then during dinner hour we went to a marché with Gwènaëlle in Noisiel. One of the guys selling things at a stand recognized me and was like hey! You gave me a Book a few weeks ago, I want to talk about it. So that was a little miracle.

Thursday... My year mark 💃 I had a strange feeling of PTSD all day, Friday too. We went to Sr. Defranchis for lunch and it was amazing. She is the funniest person ever and she lectured us on marriage for a long time, "don't judge boys on their appearance. I mean my husband wasn't cute when we were dating. But some time after we got married he became cuter. I did that. Don't marry ugly guys either!! There's a happy middle" Then we went to a rendezvous with our ami Josephine who is in the process of getting a diploma for Pastries and Cakes. Oh la la. We were so full from that afternoon but she kept giving me these pastries and I kept eating them ...6 months to sexy starts next week hehe.

Friday..we finally saw Happy! She's doing better, we set a new date for April 14th but life is kind of distracting right now.. Pray for her! We also passed by a less active member who moved here 3 years ago from China. Her family isn't believing and she started a new job so she works on Sundays. It was good to pray with her because after doing it alone for a while she stopped. Her 9 yr old son was there and went running up the stairs as soon as our video started and said "Dieu" haha.

Saturday.. We got fruged a lot so we did lots of porting. We got into a long fight with a TJ but it's okay life went on.  Jesus has long hair in paintings and I don't have a problem with it.

Sunday... Miracles just rained on down okay so many miracles. Our DMP brought a family to church. A mom and a dad and a baby :') they are Muslim, from Sierra Léon and have been in France for like 6 months. They loved church and everyone was great to speak English to them. During Relief Society I was translating for her then they asked me to present her. I did it in English on accident and in my head was like why is this so easy then everyone started laughing and I was like OH PARDON. I'm just not that talented I guess. The Elder's ami Joël got baptized after church (he was a member referral!!) and it was amazing. Mohammed and Christa stayed for it and us and the elders tag teamed it. They have a Baptismal date for April 14th as well. We are teaching them Thursday night with our DMP 🙌

Today we went to Paris and had the opportunity to do a session. We did two of our family names who were from Québec, the name of the ville was in French so I'm guessing they spoke French. I doubted my French but then in the middle of it I was like oh my goodness this is French and I'm understanding everything. It was so amazing!! That temple is something else. I was thinking in the Celestial room about how much nicer it is to do work for the dead than for the living. Haha is that bad? But then I was like I can prepare people for baptism and from there they get to experience this same peace inside the temple. Life is hard and stressful holy moly we need the temple. Afterwards I saw Président Babin and also some girls from high school haha what?! Then we went and saw the Palace of Versailles for a little bit. GOOD DAY.

Oh yeah the reason my subject is that is because I did a lot of stupid things this week and I can't count how many times people said n'inquiétez pas to me lol.

Alrighty, can't wait to talk more next week. Répertoire day baby dahhhhh

Bye bye
