I'm sure it was an amazing game and i'm very dissapointed that i missed it and that also that i'll be missing them at super bowl this year, but there's always next year right? *fingers crossed*
Okay, this week was just a lot of finding- as usual. So nothing much to tell you, have some really promising potentials, but we'll see how promising they are when we go back!
But the best day ever of this week was saturday!
Saturday was the baptism of the cholet elders ami. Cholet branch doesnt have a font in their church so they have baptisms in angers. So anyway, the day starts off blue skys and sunshine. then we have an amazing baptismal service!
And then Frère and Soeur bousseau who just finished their mission as an office couple in our mission and now lives back in cholet were there at the baptism. So they asked if we still had a problem with our kitchen sink (has had a leaking problem since way before i got to the ville- its been 8 months...) and we said yes. So he decided he was going to come look and check it out to see if he could fix it. HE FIXED IT!!!!!!!! so now we do not have to have a bucket under the sink and dump it out every other day and it doesnt stink anymore. We are very happy about this.
And then on top of that 2 of the 3 heaters in our apartment haven't been working. So we just had to turn the one that works the highest it could go, and even then, some mornings it was still cold -stupid thin french walls with no insulation.But... he fixed the heaters too! So we have a very nice warm happy working apartment.
So then we went out and celebrated with kebabs for lunch... Kind of an amazingly bad idea. Cause by that point it was like 2 and we didnt really have breakfast, so it was pretty much like we'd been fasting and then we ate a kebab which already kills your stomach as is. But I was really craving it and I hadn't had one since 9/11
Then saturday night we went porting. We passed by someone from last week who seemed really interested and told us to come back saturday night. She wasnt there so we continued porting in the area and saw her car pull up. so we continued to porte for a little bit before going back. We range her doorbell 4 times- super obvious that she was there- and they didnt answer!!! Super annoying.
so discouraged we went back to porting and the first house we porte is a woman and she's super nice kinda interested. has two adorable kids peaking out the window to see who's there. and she invited us in. we started to teach the plan of salvation and soeur rasmussen whipped out for the two boys her french plan of salvation wood puzzle she got for christmas. and they played with that as we explained it. The husband came, took the brochure and read it silently, but the wife participated. then we invited to pray about it and asked if we could come back next week. Without hesitation one of the boys said "YES!" haha so cute! The same little boy also gave us each one of his marbles that he was playing with during the lesson! I really hope they can progress.
But anyway after that we went back and tried the one lady one last time, and she finally came and said that she cant "see" us (we think the husband told her she couldn't). but we invited her to church and gave her our card anyway! but even though it was sad that she was a no (she had a cute child about the same age as the other two boys) its okay because we found another young family to teach the same lesson we had prepared for her instead. Cool right?!
So yeah those were the highlights of the week. Hope you all have an amazing week! Love you all and miss you tons! Gros bisous!

1. Elder Platt, who died last transfer, made soeur r's planner cover for this transfer and also gave her tasks to do in her planner on random days. One day this week was build a snowman... A little difficult seeing as it was sunny weather this week and there hasn't been snow in angers in like 5 years... but we improvised- ice from the side of our freezer-burned freezer (that we don't know how to turn down) made up snowman #1
2. contacting in the park on a weekday and we saw these two girls in skirts... We think they were TJ's (Jehovah's Witness). What do they think they're doing on our turf?
3. and snowman #2 made out of cookie dough
