La Tour Eiffel‏

Okay, so this week felt like the longest week ever, but also went by really fast. 

So last two pdays were awesome. I climbed the eiffel tower! it was super fun and only 4  euros!!! but we didnt pay for the elevator, so we couldnt go to the very top.

then today we went over by sacré coeur again, but didnt go in. and then montmartre!!! which is where all the paintist are selling their photos, so beautiful! but yeah thats about it... 

To start off talking about the week lets talk about the pollution.... TERRIBLE, literally, so polluted this week that the eiffel tower disappeared and it was put in the newspaper... And then the best part, all transport was free from saturday to today. All because of the pollution.

Okay so tuesday we went "mothering". when you go contacting with all the new missionaries on the first day.  except there was only one soeur coming in so we were a trio. But she's super cool. She went to versailles lucky duck! 

Then wednesday we help a member from our ward because she's going on a mission to temple square but she's waiting for her visa. So she started with all the new bleus also. So we helped her get to st. merri. Ran into soeur pettingill on the way and so i didnt get the goodbye i wanted :(

the rest of the week went by... we had ate A LOT. pretty much all of our rdv's they made us eat with them... yayaya haha.

But really don't have much else to say either. 

1. Last goodbye to Soeur Pettingill :( it was too short

2. Hugging the eiffel tour

3. glace underneath La Tour Eiffel!

Mini Missionary

Okay so not much time to write sorry, i've been busy organizing my email folders haha....

Okay so i totally forgot to tell you last week but transfers are this week!

so guess what????? SOEUR T IS STAYING!!!!!!!!!!!

So nothing changing here!

Okay so this week we had our mini missionary: Soeur Pettitt from cergy!

It was the best week ever! We had tons of fun and did tons of work...

The tahitian soiree familiale was super fun!!!!!!! but guess what? when my hand was pretty much healed (monday).... I GOT SICK! are you starting to see a theme for this transfer? Wow this was an awesome transfer but at the same time it sucked! Well i hope that i will never have anymore health problems for the rest of my mission. I guess its better that i got it all done in one transfer. But anyway the tahitian sf was super fun besides the fact that i was sick....

We had a birthday party for our ami's daughter and it was a hit!  But our ami doesnt know how to make a cake, so her daughter didnt get a cake for her birthday, so we celebrated it  a few day later and we made the cake with the birthday girl!

Saturday we went bowling with our amis! super fun!!!! 

Okay, i don't know what else to say! I don't really have much more time. Sorry! Have a good week! 

je vous aime! Gros Bisous!

Okay, so not much to say about this week....

Last monday we had rdvs during the day, so our pday was at night... So we went bowling!!!!!!!!!! the other elders were there, but they had to have amis there to stay.... Also our DMP was there cause he left Tuesday to move back to the U.S.

Tuesday district meeting, it was good.

thursday i went to the doctor because the nurse that comes to clean my toe said it was infected and it hurt. The doctor flipped out because the nurse had been giving the wrong advice... so he gave me something to help and now I'm cleaning my own wound. And now its totally healed. Stupid nurse telling me the wrong things.

Okay, so saturday..... so toes are fully healed, so i go to my first samedi sports! we play basketball... I catch the ball wrong and jammed my finger on the right hand. i ignored it and continued to play because we changed to play soccer. So like 3 hours later, my fingers super swollen! so soeur tehoiri is a nurse and wrapped my hand for me. Using a nail filer to keep my finger straight. So that's my new injury...

Sunday we went to church and all the members were sure to point out that i've been injured the entire time that i've been in this ward :/

Then we had dinner with the Ferrezza's! Soeur Ferrezza is from thailand. so we had amazing thai food! and i tried octopus for the first time! It was so gross, never having it again, but i just had to try it so i could say that i've eaten it!

Also Soeur Nilsson was there. She was an old sister missionary that served here and she's from sweden so i got to know her!

Also Soeur Tehoiri's aunt and uncle moved into our sector from tahiti. Her aunt is getting chemo treatment here, so we visited them last week, and we're having a soirée familiale with them tonight!

Okay, well that was my week. Sorry It's short, but we have a member who is staying with us for a week to experience the mission, and i feel bad, she's playing games on her phone as i email....

Love you all! Have a great week! Bisous!

Dig a little deeper

Okay, so what to write about this week?

Well we went to the louvre on monday. We thought there'd be no line, but we forgot that its vacation in france... So we waited an hour, not too bad. We met some new polish amis. talked to them the whole hour. then we obviously went straight to the mona lisa. Also then we went and checked out the greek statue section. And thats all the time we had...

After that this week we had exchanges with the Nancy STLs. So dumb, we live with the Paris STLs but they aren't my STLs. Maybe thats for the best. I went with Soeur Waite... But i totally didnt take

any photos... Sorry! But it was a good exchanged. BUt we were really busy and running everywhere that i had to stay in the rest of the night wednesday because my toe started hurting :/

Okay We had stake conference this weekend! SO GOOD! president Kearon came to speak, and we were able to go to both saturday and sunday meeting! Both were good. In each one he talked about how we have to act on what all the other speakers had said. He used two really cool analogies. The first one was a story of him in Sadi Arabia how he went camping with his dad. THey found an oasis and there was this pipe that fed into a tank. but its own pressure brought the water up. SO he talked about how we have to dig in the right spot and we'll see that blessings flow. The second one was a story about mole hills in his back yard and the way he got rid of them was by digging and trapping the mole. BUt yeah i just loved that message, how we gotta put the effort and dig ourselves and not trust on other resources.

Okay, well have an amazing week love you all!!!!! Bisous!

Okay i have to go fast because I'm going to the Louvre today and we want as much time as possible.

This week we really didn't do much. We got out of the apartment a lot more, but at the same time each time the infermière comes she says i need to not walk as much. But this is the thing that sucks... I can walk fine without anything hurting, but the more i walk, the longer it'll take for the wound to heal. So i have a dilemma, because I can work, but at the same time I'm not technically supposed to. But we set up a ton of rdv's this week quand même so we'll see how it goes.

Okay, but this week, not much to say...

Sorry this is a super short letter, but i'll just tell you about yesterday.

Emma came to church!!!!! and she said she asked her husband and we can start teaching the whole family! So we'll be doing that this week.

Also versailles elders gave us a coordonée of a girl who showed up last week to their ward, but she lives in our area.  She came to church yesterday. Turns out she went to church for a whole year with her aunt in versailles when she was 8 but then stopped. Never got baptized, so we're starting to teach her too. 

And lastly Reyna (less active from mexico) didn't come to church because her phone broke and she couldnt get ahold of the member who was going to go with her. but we had a mangez-vous  at her place scheduled for right after church anyway. So we went, helped her figure out how to fix her phone... It wasn't broken it's just that she had managed to cut off the sound so that no one could hear her... but anyway she's coming to stake conference next week! But yeah the food she made us was super good. Mexican food. Okay so now here in France I've eaten authentic African, Chinese, French (obviously), and now Mexican food. Who knew?!

Oh also can i just say, this week has been a lot of spanish. So many spanish amis/members. Which brings me to why i'm so grateful for my companion! She took spanish in school, so she can talk with our amis in spanish  even if its not much, it still makes them feel more comfortable. which really makes me realize that I know zero spanish... But i'm really good at french now! kinda... 

Well I hope you all have a good week! Thanks for all the prayers!  Je vous aime!
GROS BISOUS!
