slowest week ever

This week was super good! but super slow, but fast also!

so yeah biking in the palace of versailles was like a dream. its moments like that when i realize i really needed to go to the france paris mission!

okay, so my new companion! her names soeur dechesne. she's from the south west of france, one hour from spain. her step father is from spain so she speaks spanish pretty well and french perfectly, she's working on the english :)

Its different being in a trio, we're working on getting it smooth, but i absolutely LOVE it. I love both of them!

so this week we helped out a less active family with their youngest daughters birthday! it was so fun!!!!! she just turned 6 and we basically got to play in a park with a bunch of six year olds! so that was super fun! afterwards the dad called us super heroes! they're awesome! its probably because they're mexican but from america so like just the best!

so then this monday we went up the eiffle tour and guess what?? I finally made it to the very very top, third floor! woohoo! about time! it was good, super windy and cold and it started to sprinkle on the way down. so yeah.

BIG NEWS

so the big news of the week: the assistants called us saturday and

Drumroll please...

We're getting visa waiter!!!!!!!

so in a way i'm going to be training, don't know for how long, but i'm training with my companion (who hasn't trained in her whole mission and is in her last transfer!)

So all we know is that she is coming tomorrow. that's all the assistants told us saturday and they havent updated us since. So we don't know when tomorrow and who it is and yeah...*

other big news... IPADS are in the mission, the stl's and zl's got them at mission council and they are giving them to us during our zone conferences. so i will have an Ipad in hand  (for sure) July 2nd!

Nothing much else to say. Transfer day happened wednesday... I cried my eyes out in front of about half the missionaries in the mission while saying goodbye to soeur tehoiri. 

Soeur Hales is awesome! we're having so much fun together!

we've only taken one photo together so i'll put that down below... other than that, not much/

Today we're going to go ride bikes in the gardens of the palace of versailles. the palace isnt open on mondays, but the gardens are. so yeah, it'll be fun!

1. Last goodbye to Soeur Tehoiri

2. Soeur Hales!

3. so a member had really big bags of popcorns

I'm a killer....

okay so this ones going to be short....

Nothing big happened this week, just a lot of goodbyes for my companion. So weird that she's leaving i can't/don't want to believe it!

BUT we got the news for the transfer....

I'm staying in Antony and my new companion is Sœur Hales and she finishes her mission next transfer... So once again i'll be killing off another missionary!

This'll make 4 transfers in Antony so i don't know if that means Antony Sœurs are getting white washed next transfer or if i'm staying for 5 transfers (7 1/2 months!). i dont know if i want to though. Initial reaction is no i dont want to stay but at the same time i don't want to be whitewashed out! ahhh we'll see. but i still have 6 weeks before i have to worry about that.

Sorry for the lame email. and sorry i took no pictures this week. I love you all! bonne semaine! Gros Bisous!

les miracles à l'église!

hey this week was good! 

the elders ami got baptized! WOOHOO!

on other news yesterday was a day of miracles at the church!

1. our less active came to the church for the first time, she made friends with a member, stayed the whole time with the member! Which was good because we had to many people show up to take care of them all.

2. Brigitte (our ami for the past 7 months) came to church for the first time! Not only that, she came all on her own! We invited her the night before but she said she wouldnt come. Well she called us during the first hour and said she was coming. so she came for the second and third hour and loved it. and guess what?! she brought a friend! they both loved church and had a great time and the members were so welcoming to them. PERFECT DAY!

also we showed up in church in the african boubous edna gave us. african theme! Only in paris can you show up to church in that! got tons of compliments!

so yeah thats about all i have to say. today we went and saw l'arc de triomphe (first time for me). and as we were there they started hanging up the french flag under the arch. so cool!

well that was my week! hope you have a good one! je vous aime! bisous!

1. CHRISTIAN GOT BAPTIZED

2. our ami at church (notice me in my boubou!)

3. arc de triomphe with the french flag!

short and sweet :)

okay i have really no time to email this week. Sorry!

It was a good week. 

Today we went and ate at a chinese buffet with all soeur T's family that live in the area. So that was super cool!

I dont even know what i did this week.

I went on exchanges in nogent. it was nice! I was with soeur waite again, and this time i got a photo! but it was just nice to be in a different ville, it felt nice and chill. and not stressful. 

Also had zone conference! super great! in the ap's formation they chose different companionships to teach them and president and soeur babin. me and soeur t really wanted to teach them! but we didnt get chosen. oh well!

Super excited for next saturday! The elders have a baptism with an ami that has been meeting with them twice a week since one year ago. He's had multiple baptismal dates, but he's sticking to this one. He's so ready!

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

Bisous!

Soirée de Talent

Hey, not much to say about this week.

It was a week of service, i'll just quickly run through the days

tuesday: worked in our amis garden

wednesday: worked at Blache's house again (member that had hiroshima happen in her house)

thursday: Chez Blanche

Friday: chez Blanche

Saturday: at a different members house, scrubbed grease off the kitchen walls while the elders painted

So that was pretty much my week!!!!! throw in a few rdv's with amis and that's it...

EXCEPT for the talent show that the young men and women put on! 

The young women asked us to teach them a tahitian dance, so we did, they didnt like it so we chose a different song and made up a random dance to it. 

But soeur T, Kendy (her cousin) and I danced the one we had planned for the young women anyway. Its awesome, attached is a link. I love tahitian dance!!!!! Its so pretty! and then the elders did the tahitian haka, it was so cool! except i forgot to video tape it on my camera because i was too busy filming it for an elder. LAME; don't worry, i'll get it from someone. Also the elders also sang a song, lets just say more than half the acts were the missionaries!

So that was my week. I love you all, have a good week! 

je vous aime! BISOUS!!!
