Stake Conference in Paris
What up everyone!
Coming at you live from the second story of company's building AKA true church of God. I had a pretty interesting week though!
Tuesday we went straight to Troyes in the morning! I went on a exchange with a kid from Pleasant Grove his name is Brandon Johnson! He is SUPER cool! We are super tight homies now. We love all the same things, so it was a super fun exchange! Then we found out that we knew each other before the mission which was super cool! He is one transfer below me. We taught a lesson to a lady and her non member family and she made us food! She told us she wants to go inactive because someone hit her kid at church... so that was an interesting first night.
Wednesday we had week 2 district meeting! (which is like a big deal) we just had a million meetings. Me and E. Johnson missed our train on the way to Paris, but we taught a lesson in the train station who was pretty cool. We had Subway for lunch ;) Then at night we had a family home evening, it was super fun! The member was really nice! And she lived in such a nice house! We didn't get home until 10:20 haha.
Thursday we were still in Troyes and I was with the district leader Elder Watts. He is really cool too. We did passbacks in the morning. And went to a park and climbed a tree and picked cherries! They were super good! Cherries are really expensive in France! And we ate at a members house! When we got back home this crazy dude kept calling us who got our number from the Mental Hospital!!! And he is SUPER creepy and calls us every night! Idk how this dude got our number!
Friday I got my birthday package from my parents! Haven't opened it yet I am saving it :) Then we visted a recent convert, she is really nice but she is going to Germany for a couple of months.. so our branch just decreased by like 20percent... Then we did weekly planning we got a bunch of work done. We scheduled a bunch of RDVs with people who weren't free this week! Then at night we watched Saratov Approach! It was really really good! best movie I have seen on the mission ;)
Saturated was pretty cool I mowed a lady in the wards lawn. With a plug in GHETTO as heck lawnmower I am so mad I forgot to take a picture of it! And we just did some hard core cleaning at her house. Then we bounced at 1:00 because we needed to shower because we were taking the train to Paris! It was Stake Conference and president asked us to go! It was so HOT! But it was worth it. It was really good and all the missionaries were there so it was fun! Then a member in Troyes gave us a ride back to Troyes! It was so hot again and it was 5 full grown men in a tiny French car.. it was awful! But when we got there we watched Epraim's Rescue together! It was funny because the kid in the movie use to live in that apartment.
Sunday Stake Conference was being transmitted to the ward. So we watched it on a projector. And was translated into French. It was conducted by Elder Uchtdorf and Elder Anderson gave a talk. But the French translator was terrible. We could hear what they were saying in English for a little bit. And Elder Uchtdorf was like hello brothers and sisters what a lovely day we have today.. and the French translator just said.. Bonjour. haha it was funny. Then we came back to Auxerre it was a 4hr journey! I was so thirsty the whole time too!
And that's pretty much my week! Love you guys! Its my BIRTHDAY tomorrow! I'm going to be 19! Can't wait!! I'll be in Paris too! Love you guys!
