HEY it was great to see you all yesterday!
Okay,i just have to explain... Monday we went to Evry which was sr Tehoiri's bleue ville and I ate foufou (from the ivory coast) for the first time. And i didnt just eat it.... I made it! Look at the photo below. You have to crush the bananas planton(?) in a wooden bowl with a wooden stick. So cool! and then you roll the crushed banana into a ball and you eat it with a sauce and meat (only bad thing was that they chose fish as the meat...) But the rest was super good. Although i think i can only have it like once a transfer...
okay now to the baptism! it went to well! i don't even know where to begin.
All day i was nervous but not at the same time, stressed, but calm. It was weird!
Anyway had tons of stuff to do, the night before i ironed the baptismal clothes, that night i had a dream that i burned them...
then the day of the baptism, got to versailles an hour before the baptism. through together a musical number with the elders and then me playing the flute. took photos, freaked out cause the person who baptized her showed up 5 min late, and then had to change! but its okay, because a lot of members showed up late.
hadnt really put an end to my talk, but i was the first thing after the prayer oh joy. It actually was good, even if the end wasnt really put together well. Sang a musical number, then for the baptism, we got permission to skype her mom and brothers (members). went to try it, they didnt answer, so they didnt get to see it, tant pie.
so then she was baptized... the elders didnt fill up the font all the way, and she's tall, and the member baptizing her was tall. Water literally went up to her knees. haha so she had to bend down really far, and he had to basically lay her on the very bottom of the font. But its okay, only had to do it once!

Then we had the rest of the program, i did the musical number with the flute, turned out good!
Came home, had one hour dinner break, I ate dinner in like 10 minutes and slept for the other 50 and then it was 9pm and time to plan... Wow. who knew how tiring a baptism could be. I don't think i could do that every week.
Sunday she got confirmed and got a calling already! she's in charge of the Liahona for the ward. Making sure that every family is subscribed to it.
Well that was my week. sorry for the long email. I hope you have a great week!
Je vous aime, Bisous!
