C'est la parole de Dieu *african accent*

Bonjour ma famille!!!!

This week was good! although, I don't really remember it, but we did a lot of good things.

Friday we went on another exchange cause the stls wanted to. So i was with soeur asay again but this time soeur bernhisel and we were all in Antony! soeur dechesne went with soeur defranchi (who is French also) in Nogent. so the Americans were together and les francaises were together. But we had a fun time.

today i did my legality! and it worked this time!!!! so I'm legal again! it was scary going 6 days after my visa expired... but that was the prefectures fault, i should have gotten it in time. But dont worry its all taken care of.

Other than that I'm doing great! don't know how to feel about leaving a ville after 7 1/2 months. I'm excited but sad. its even weirder that I'm probably going to my last ville before i go home... Even weirder. I still feel like its forever away, but in two weeks I have 4 months left. so yeah time flies by fast. Did I mention that a year ago last week was when i first got into France and got my trainer? I'm the same age she was in the mission when she trained me! all weird thoughts.

So yeah this Saturday I find out where I'm going to next! so we'll see!

But anyway have a great week! love you all!

Bisous!

3. i found a weird fruit on a tree while contacting...

Hermanas Hermanas!

Hey family! 

This week was great! But what happened? I think a lot of good things and miracles.

Okay so Tuesday we had zone conference! It was really good!  Our president started a new way of zone conference. It was just basically practice teaching in front of the two zones. Luckily we didn't have to teach. I'm all for practice teaching, but not in front of a big chunk of the mission and president and Soeur babin.

Then Wednesday we went to the embassy! And guess what? Soeur dechesne was the only one that got to enter the gate! They told us we could wait for her in the park across the street. So we actually didn't get to walk on u.s. Soil :( 

So then this week was a week of miracles!

Thursday we saw Brigitte for the first time in like 2 months! And we asked if she had been praying since the last time and she said YES! (She never keeps her commitments). And she had read the chapter we gave her. Then we taught about the importance of church praying and reading. And she said that when she gets back from vacation she'll come to church at least three times to find out if it's the true church. Then she said she'd take her Book of Mormon on vacation and read every day, and she said she'd continue to pray each day! Seriously came out of no where!

Friday we did planning and then had a few  hours for contacting. So I felt we should go to a certain vile. So we get there and there's no one because it was raining and constantly thundering over our heads. So we contact maybe two people in 4 blocks... So we decide to turn back and go closer to Paris where there was better weather. So we literally had just turned around when we hear "Hermanas, Hermanas!" And suddenly there's a man there speaking Spanish to us. I think he asked if one of us spoke Spanish so sr. Bernhisel and I point directly to sr. Dechesne (did I mention she speaks fluent Spanish). So anyway she talks to him and found out that he was a member and was searching for the church so we gave him the address and he said he'd come Sunday! So that was why we needed to be there that night. Also the rest of the night so. Bernhisel tried to practice her Spanish with sr. Dechesne. I didn't understand any of it. But I spent the rest of my time perfecting my street contact. I now know how to say "hello, my name is sister farmer and I'm from the United States and I know that God loves us". So yeah, that's it... But I'm very proud for learning it

So then Saturday we had a rdv with haibo (Chinese ami) who I haven't seen since like April. We got a hold of her this past week. And we had a rdv with her and her daughter. Okay, so that was another surprising change. Her seven year old  daughter used to be super rude and bossy to her mom! Like not to be rude, but she was a brat. So it was impossible to teach them because the daughter didn't like talking about religious things. But we asked her if she prayed and she said that her daughter prayed more than she did! And her daughter actually stayed calm during the lesson. Oh my goodness it's a miracle what a little time can do for an ami!

So that was our marvelous week! I loved it! I'm starting to realize that I'm almost done here in Antony and I suddenly don't want to go because I'm seeing all these miracles happen with all my old Amis! I love the gospel, no matter what it's always true! 

Have a great week! Je vous aime! Gros bisous!

It was a week

Hey this week was a weird week! Each day blends one into another! This whole week was basically finding and it was really good! I don't know what else to say.

we visited tahitian members that are here in france for medical reasons. so that was really nice. i really miss my tahitians!

went to sacre coeur again... it was good. not much to say necessarily.

Also on a side note our zone leader got called as assistant half way through the transfer. because one assistant is going home in like 2 weeks. its so weird. so it basically means that now there's only me and an elder in his 3 transfer that have been in the ville more that 3 weeks... so that's fun!

really i have nothing else to say. our week was just contacting. 

I got to go to interviews with president! So have a great week! Love you!

1. was contacting sunday night and just came across a view of the Eiffel Tower :)

2. was really close to a smaller but still big airport south of paris. The planes were barely right above us. It reminded me of hearing all the planes back at home :)

Marriages...

Well sounds like everyone had a great weekend at the family reunion. Sad I missed it, but on the bright side that was the last of the family reunions I'll miss!

But hey JULIA'S ENGAGED!!!!!!! I'm so happy i don't even know what to say! And i also found out that Ben, Syveah and now Kaitlin are engaged? That's awesome! Do I get pictures?

Anyway, my week was great! It went by so fast! Don't even know how, but Monday we went to the louvre, we saw everything that I had already seen... But we did go see the Egyptian section, which I hadn't seen before. It was cool! We also ran into 3 member families.

Tuesday I had my tb test and I don't have it! The doctor was very shocked that they had me come in because apparently the elder became contagious in April, and the last time I saw him was mid March...

And then Tuesday and Wednesday I went on exchanges in nogent with soeur asay! She's awesome! First of all she was best friends before the mission with my trainer. So super cool. but we taught a Romanian family and the 9 yr old boy was adorable! His names Brian and I'm so sad that i'll never see him again :( 

after that it was a good week! Lots of contacting and that's about it! Marie is progressing so well! we had planned to teach the restoration in 2 lessons just to help with her comprehension. However we were able to teach all of it in one lesson and she understood it!!!!

So yeah good week! I love you all and miss you so much!!!! have a great week! Bisous
