Monday night at 10:28pm- power goes out.... I go out into the hall and the hall light works, so its just our apartment. So we go to our circuit breaker, and reset it-nothing. So we call the Elders... They tell us that we may have to get a new box but to go to bed and call the office in the morning.
Tuesday morning call the office, they say they'll call someone. We go to the church to do our studies and get ready because we have no light in our apartment (no heat or hot water either)... this does not help people thinking that we live in the church... but anyway we have district meeting and have a fun time. Come back still no call... finally at 4:30 we call the office again. Only to have them say it's too late to get anyone over... we go to have dinner at our recently released dmp and borrow flashlights from him.
Wednesday we wait for a call.... No call- we go and take a shower at a members (no hot water)- no call, no call. We have a rdv... Put the phone on silent... Have a 30 min lesson- CALL during the lesson. So then we call back, no answer. Finally after the third time calling they answer... "we'll get someone over in like 2 hours" okay thanks. (might i remind you that this means 2 days without heat, or hot water) Finally someone shows up, he goes to the breaker box, does the exact same thing me and soeur r did (10 times each when we called the elders, the office, the office again, and the electrician) and the lights come back on...
Thursday was a normal day
Friday- soeur conference!!!!!!! It was so great, i loved it! we go see the eiffel tour afterwards. Get to the gare... Trains 15 min late... It changes to 20... Then 25.... And then 50, by this time it's almost 8pm and theres no chance of getting back to angers on time. So we start making calls. (i start having a migraine from not eating/drinking enough all day, and stress and just exhaustion). Paris stls already have 6 people staying in there apartment so thats a no go. Everyone else is too far out finally we get ahold of st. ouen. and they said we could stay over! -problem, none of us know the metro system. but eventually we get there and then 20 min they show up and take us to the apartment. We crash there
Saturday: earliest train we could get back home was 11:22... Repertoire comes out at 12. so we were on a train when everyone else was looking at repertoire. So 12 comes and we're calling everyone to find out the news- no one is answering! finally we call nantes soeurs- they answer! soeur hafen takes forever to look up my name... I'm going to Antony!!!!!!!! It's in paris. I'll actually be living with the paris stl's in center paris!!! but wait theres more. My new companion is a TAHITIAN!!!! So yeah i'm excited. i'm going to paris and will constantly be speaking french!
Sunday, so hard to say goodbye to the ward :( I'm gonna miss them. But everyone was so nice and literally got so many complements on how much my french improved. so that was nice.
Ok, so sorry for the long letter, but a lot happened. Well have a nice week! love you all so much and miss you tons!
Gros bisous!!!!
