Week 42: I love my sister wives + I accidentally fell in love + dined with TJ's at Subway 😇

Salut

As you can tell, I had a very very, very eventful week. Oh la la.

So Tuesday...What a day. I started out my morning by having a very calm discussion with two Jehovah's Witness. We won the calm discussion by letting them talk while sitting there like this 😐😦🤔 the whole time then coming out at the end like ANGELS AREN'T A DIFFERENT SPECIES THAN HUMANS WHAT WOULD BE THEIR PURPOSE IF THEY CAN'T PROGRESS. THEY WOULD BE NOTHING. ALSO, WHY WOULD GOD DO THAT IF HE WERE JUST AND ALSO JESUS CHRIST WAS NOT A BACK UP PLAN FOR ADAM MESSING UP GOD'S PLAN, THAT WOULD MAKE GOD NOT ALL KNOWING oh man haha okay. It went actually pretty smoothly, they tried to poison us with mineral water at the end but they did accept our Book of Mormons and I have a 2nd What does the Bible teach book.

Wednesday we saw Manoucheca and Roosevens and Wensley again :') We brought them one of those little kid Book of Mormon Story books and Roosevens was already halfway through. Ahhhh I love them.

On Saturday we were Sonnering in Roissy (basically ringing the doorbells of apartment buildings) and we actually found one new ami! But also there was this man that made my heart unlock. He was the first one we rang on this building and he was on ground floor so he just came out to us and I was like 😮, he opened the door and was like everyone is home today so come on in and just knock on the doors. He was an angel. I didn't stop smiling all night haha I think I'm blushing now. That's all 😇
On the way back from Roissy we talked to a guy on the train and we gave him a Book of Mormon and set him up with other missionaries but he could not understand the fact that we are not polygamists. He kept looking at me so concerned and would ask "how do you feel being around all your dad's wives?" "how does it make you feel sharing your husband?" I feel great Charles I feel great okay?

Our amis are doing really well! Sourivong is trying to figure out how he can be Buddhist and Mormon, Happy decided she will follow the Prophet and Gwènaëlle (in pic) is reading in the Book of Mormon and is beginning to understand the Atonement. We have a crazy week ahead of us, that is always a good thing! It's the last week of the transfer so we are going to end it well. 🥂

Also, all I do in my free time is read the Old Testament. I might know it as well as my Nigerian friends by the time I get home. I think I'm going to buy a loom and make hats. Hahaha I'm going to be like an African cat mama for the rest of my life okay bye see you never have a good week ♡

Week 41: il faut

Salut,

So we started this week off at the setting apart of Whitney + Daniel. Whitney is going to Tahiti and Daniel is going to Lyon (watch for them my pals là bas) It was way cool a lot of our ward was there and some of their friends and they were just set apart in front of everyone. Even though it was their blessing specifically it was cool to hear and remember mine, also the spirit was so crazy strong.

This week we had an amazing rendezvous with Sourivong. Since he doesn't have a Christian background we decided to really focus on the life of Christ the last two weeks. On Thursday we planned to start with reading the Living Christ, and that's all we ended up getting to because all of a sudden everything clicked to him. From Old Testament to New Testament to Book of Mormon to Gospel Dispensations to why this is the true church restored on earth. He admitted that before he believed that every church was good, it didn't really matter who or what was "right" as long as you're doing good, (which is great) but now he sees so much logic in what we have taught. It was probably the biggest break through lesson I have ever had. And the spirit was so strong But... At the end I got the prompting to give him a Baptismal invite. Guess what I didn't do. Neither did my companion And neither did the Elders who were teaching with us and we all had the same feeling!! Ahhh Il faut (it is necessary) follow the Spirit.

Rodolphe and Happy came to church this week! Rodolphe is the guy we met finding with Yuna like...3ish weeks ago. He loved it! He claims to be atheist but I think he is more Agnostic. He was impressed by the inside of our building and how simple it is. He also loved the talks, I was trying not to snooze because they were on the conseil de famille and the new set up for lessons but he was like "exactement" and getting real excited. He said it changed his perspective and in fact changes everything and he will for sure be back next week. He also wants a formal rendezvous with us so he can learn more and follow the talks better, before we were just passing by his work and having short conversations. So that was dope. Also we set a Baptismal date with Happy!!! For the end of February. Please pray for her. She still isn't understanding French that well so that's our main worry. I might actually have a baptism mom + dad haha yayyyy just 1 yr in.

Weird things happened like usual. We had a rendezvous with this older guy at the church and on the bus ride back to the gare I asked him if he had kids and he whispered in my ear "I have known no woman" IN ENGLISH. Haha ew. Then Gwènaëlle, the sweetheart, told us she believes Jesus was a rebellious teenager and died in public to show the world He was the Son of God. Sooooo we are going to read the Book of Mormon with her until she calms down on that..

We also thought we had interviews Friday so we just casually went to Paris. Nope they are this week.

So miracles are happening here in Torcy. It's not my favorite place on Earth but God loves his children here so I guess I'll keep working and loving the people too!  Il faut

P.S. We went back to Christophes and we are teaching his sister in law and brother haha, he wasn't home.  #blessed
 
ALSO MOM YOU ARE SO OLD HAHA 50 HAHA

Week 40: I drank a lot of coke this week

Okay so I had a super dope week but I'm basically dead. Me and Sœur Bookwalter worked stinkin hard and had some pretty amazing things happen but also I'm dead. PDAY HALLELUJAH WOOHOO AMEN GLORIOUS PDAY

On Wednesday we had a Tri-Zone Conference from 8h45 to 17h. My butt. It was so amazing though alors c'est pas grave. David Archuleta came!! He is like 5 ft nothing but his voice, oh my goodness. I will send my notes from it with an attachment of him singing Glorious. He shared a few mission experiences that were good to hear and he was great to listen to.  After 9 hours of conference I felt super pumped and excited and like ahhhh I gotta go baptize all of Paris right nowwww. Oh and we got to see baby pictures + awkward teen stages of everyone (thanks for being nice to me mom haha you're the best wow).

So yeah we went crazy with finding. We met this lady named Gwènaëlle on Tuesday on the RER. We got her number but she was like "I'll call you" so we were like okay no you won't, BUT SHE DID, that day! We met with her Friday and she is so sweet. She has had it rough and now lives in an unhappy little town in the middle of nowhere like 2 hours away in the mountains but works in Torcy, so for now she would go to our ward. She is kind of interesting.. we showed her Grâce à Lui and she brought up the Jesus face they found on a tortilla in Mexico and said that Jesus set up the church wrong BUT once she understands the atonement she will love it. She is excited to read the Book of Mormon and we will be meeting her again this week. We had a few cool people we met but I'm trying to think of ones that are good to share.. Oh Christophe. He proposed to me on his door step after we taught Retab and I said I'm 19 and a missionary and he said I'm 22 and on my own kind of mission and I asked if we could come back next week and teach his family and he said Yes. So stats look good and I don't have to worry about dating post mission (all jokes lol except we really are going back)

One thing we have been doing to help our work is being thankful. We pray after every conversation went well even if we don't end it with receiving coordonnées. We have noticed how many more conversations we have and how many more miracles we see in a day. I'd highly suggest it. Pray more and God will love you more. (not doctrine)

Miracle: Sourivong came to church ❤️ He's a nice little Buddhist man from Laos who we teach almost every week and he finally came!

I also taught Plan du Salut in English and it felt so good... I'm going to take a nap now.

1) Paris Zones + Runner Up
2) Sr. Foley brought me a coke UR KIDDING :')

Week 39? 2016 HERE I BE 🎉🎉

HI HAPPY NEW YEARS  ♥️♥️

I had a great last week of 2017. We ported about every house without a gate in our sector. Haha I've been keeping note every time we pass a place where the houses don't have gates. Gates are of Satan. (I miss Belgium) Weird things happened while finding so I feel pretty great.

We had exchanges this week in Nogent.  I was with Sœur McDonald my MTC comp! (Sœur Spotts we love yah💕) It was really great and I learned so much from her.

New Years Eve was an incredible day. We taught the combined Sunday School lesson and just asked the members how we can work better together and they actually participated a lot and we had a great discussion. It's gettin goin. After Church we did some finding and decided to just stick to trajet and hop around the RER. The first one we got on a lady named Vanessa looked at us, saw our tags, and asked "Where is your church? What is the address?" I gave her our little card with the address and she was like 9h30 oh perfect, I'll see ya Sunday morning. Haha commenttttt. Right after that we met a family from Scotland who was on vacation. The mom and son are Christian but the dad was not. He said he believes in aliens and I said me too and after that we were buds. 🖖 We talked about Salvation then the mom said a prayer with us and then we said hey you might meet missionaries in Scotland, the dad was like "you Mormons are everywhere I swear they knock on our door every week and I just open it then shut it." I made him promise that next time he would at least open it and give them a snack.

We got invited over to the Family Guiwangou's that night and it was so great! They just moved into our ward from Nogent and they are so cool and so excited about missionary work, both being converts from Chile and Gabon. + Frère Guiwangou performed some of the Haka for us. Haha I love their family!

Nothing is open today so we might starve for a week but we found this cozy little café and treated ourselves.

Merry '16 hope all your dreams come true.

(Apparently she is a little confused about what year we are in.. ?) 😂

Heyyy

Transfer week was crazy! BUT HEY first Christmas miracle.. I saw McBride ❤️❤️I looked like a smooshed marshmallow drop or else I would send the picture.
I picked up my New Collègue, Sœur Bookwalters just in time for Christmas! She is in transfer 4 and is from Colorado. And super super sweet.
We have seen some cool stuff together already and even ported two full great and spacious buildings. Weird things happened there..
We also went finding with Yuna, a recent convert. We went and visited her Friday morning then she called us later and asked if she could come with us for a couple hours. Our rendezvous fell through so we went finding! At one point she looked over at an apartment building and was like "that one" and we were like haha okay.. So we went up to the building and the guy who works as like the guard there came out and talked to us. Lonnnggg story short Yuna is now taking Spanish lessons from Rudolf and we gave him the Book of Mormon and will be meeting with him in two weeks. Haha Yuna is my hero.
On Saturday we went to see a recent convert/less active named Germanie.
When we got there she had a friend named Joseph there. He was super nice and participated as we shared a little Christmas Pensée. Afterwards we gave him a Book of Mormon and Germanie shared her testimony and conversion story - and I'm sure we will see Joseph Bientôt 😊
Another Christmas miracle...Happy came to church!! That's the first ami at church we've had since I got here. Yeah it's a miracle! Christmas Eve we had a great rendezvous and ate some fish and caviar and a lot of cake. Then Christmas..YAYYY family Skype woohoo🎉🎉 (I'm gonna leave it at that)

I'm just really excited for this new transfer, I think Sœur Bookwalter and I will work well together. Okay see ya!

Torcy Week 37

Hi I'm staying in Torcy.

Okay so theme of my weekly this week is that I love people. (not members though because no will feed us on Christmas haha lol kidding but not hehe) but I'm just really grateful for dope people so here are some dope people that make life good

  Saron. Young guy from Ethiopia who has lived in France for 3 years and just recently moved to Torcy. He's got two little babies and is Evangelist. We were at the bus stop right next to the church and he asked what church it was. He asked us what is different about our church so we explained The Book of Mormon and Living day prophets. "Can I have one of those books, in English, one day?" I had an English one in my bag from the day before, I was going to take it out before we left but was like nah I'm gonna need it. It might seem like a pretty tiny miracle but he was humble and determined to read it, so pray he finds the same magic and truth that we all do in the Book of Mormon.

  Patrice. We were porting in Pontault on Friday and this young dad opened the door with his son but he looked really occupied. We told him who we were and asked if we could stop by another time, that's when people are like yeah yeah see yah bye but he was like next week, Friday night at 5:30. And was soooo nice. We walked away mouths open haha

Okay also Frère Blackie, one of our neighbors who we always see on the street. He is atheist and makes fun of us but he also walks us home at night and buys us clementines. That's a conversion that will happen. Chelsea, if you remember her from past weeklies. She is stinking adorable we keep seeing her and I love her. She finally met the Elders today and called them babes and made them blush so hard haha. Rana workers, there is a kebab shop on the corner on the way home. The workers wave at us and call us les filles et les anges and Katie, the waitress comes and gives us a Gros bisous and huge hug (because our moms can't) ah I love her.

Okayyyy me and my new comp sr booky will find lots more miracle people.
YAYYYY CHRISTMAS I CAN'T WAIT TO SKYPE OH MY GOODNESS

Okay life is good haha bonne semaine!

Week 36: Torcy

HEY

This week didn't exist haha it started then it ended.
On Tuesday, we went to Roissy-En-Brie to share a Christmas message with a few less actives, we couldn't find the first apartment so we asked a lady on the street for help and she was like oh yeah come with me I'll show you where it is. We helped her with her groceries and talked and she was so sweet. She was like you have to meet my son so we waited in front of her house for him and he came up with all of his friends, like five 16 yr old girls. The girls were like that address isn't here!! So then they typed in the address and we went on a hunt with them. For at least an hour. We didn't even end up finding it but they were so amazing, and Christ-like. I don't know if I would have done that as a 16 yr old.

We had another amazing rendezvous with Manoucheca and her family. We went through the 10 scripture chain that teaches Retab with them and they loved it. I need a video of them, next time. Since our rendezvous they have been reading the Book of Mormon from the beginning together. Roosevens says he is going to name his son Nephi, haha, YES DO IT!

This week we played soccer in the hail so it's probably time to be done with early morning soccer. :/ We also had stake conference and I wore a red ascot and sang in the choir and then I punched myself in the face after.  Lol!
