Miracle #1 Tuesday we were supposed to have a rdv with a new chinese amis with a member, but our amis changed it to wednesday. which happened to be one of the days that another member could teach with us, because she works all the time. so we asked the other member if it was okay to teach with the other one instead. She said yeah, but then we invited her to go do some passby's with us that day anyway. So she came with us and every person we wanted to visit was there!!!! and nice on top of just being there! so like we got 4 member presents in one day.... which i never thought would happen. brilliant idea to just bring a member even when you don't have a rdv.
Miracle #2: a less active that has been really hesitant to come to church came to the ward christmas activity!!! she was gonna leave after the talent show before dinner and we convinced her to stay. then she was gonna leave right after eating a little bit, but then we convinced her to stay for dessert. and she ended up staying the whole time! and she met a lot of members, cause she's been less active since she was a teenager, and she's now like in her 40's. so she doesnt really remember anyone.
Miracle #3: we're at church on sunday, sad that mimi didnt show up when she said she would. and sacrament ends and suddenly a member walks up and says, do you want to meet my friends. first of all, i have no clue who this member is, i've seen him like one other time. So I say yeah, so his friend comes up and is like "hi my name is natalie i'm his friend, i loved church, can you come over sometime this week?" okay so it wasnt exactly those words, but it was pretty much like that. so we set up a rdv, and then she was like, come meet my sister. sadly her sister doesn't speak that much french and is only visiting for a week... but then we gave them a church tour. we showed her the baptismal font and she just loved it. she said it was so beautiful and cool and she asked when the next baptism was so that she could see it and in my head i said to myself "yours" ha ha. but like seriously she's so prepared. and then we showed her the genealogy room and she loved it! and she set up a rdv with the lady who is in charge of that. but like pretty much we were just handed an amis without doing anything.
and finally Miracle #4 so last night us sisters and elders decided to go caroling at the gare, cause you know there's a piano in every gare. so we went and there happened to be a member there, from chole,t who then played piano for us. and then was just like a member missionary for us. it was awesome. But the miracle was this man came up and thanked us a lot and then left before we could talk to him more. but then he came back and was totally interested and invited us all over to his house for christmas eve dinner. we got his number and the elders are going to start teaching him. too bad, we're already taken christmas eve :/
Okay so those were the miracles this week. Saturday was our ward christmas party. so like we went porting before the party and it was terrible. raining and everyone was rejecting us, no one wanted us to sing for them, just really bad. but then we had the activity. For the talent show I played a flute solo of Gesu Bambino and then afterwards the missionaries did a "funny" talent. Sorry I forgot to have someone video tape it on my camera, but a member did video tape it, I just have to get it from them, so like next week? So it was a competition between the equipes. we had to find a candy cane a midst ice cream and whipped cream. but the trick was that our companion was our arms. so they stood behind us, so they could't see really anything but they were feeding us... yeah so I was the companion eating,... but WE WON! The soeurs beat the elders, talk about bragging rights for the rest of the transfer! But yeah so that was fun.
This week were having our christmas conference with half the mission. so they'll be putting up pictures on the fb page. Ours is thursday not wednesday, so it'll be the second batch of photos put up.
So like i got really homesick this week, must be with the holidays, so it's a good thing we had so many miracles this week to keep me going. But i love you all and miss you so much! 10 more days before I get to skype you all :)
so just gonna tell you again to go onto christmas.mormon.org but also there is another video that's beautiful. it's called "the coat" you can find it at mormonchannel.org/thecoat go watch that one too!
Okay this email is getting to be too long. Have a great week! Gros bisous!
