To Paris With Love

Week #52

Staying in Paris, new comp. Elder Young

Sup homies. 

Tuesday was a lot of fun. We had district meeting. I gave a formation (that just dawned on me that "formation" might be a french word...if it is let me know) on teaching skills. It was like a boot camp for teaching skills with just a bunch of games, it was pretty fun. The zone leaders came after we divided sectors because we got a new map. It was pretty fun. We went to an American store we found that sold root beer. So yeah, we spent a good amount of money there. Then a bunch of people were coming into Paris for legality stuff and we had 10 missionaries staying in our appt over night - it was a party! And we went to the l'arc de Triumph to pick them up.

Mercredi (Wednesday) we did some contacting. Then went and saw an ami named Alexis, a man who apparently was baptized in Cote Divore in 2003, but his family wasn't so we taught them the restoration. But they don't live in our sector so we had to pass him ;(.  After we went contacting again and found a dude who only speaks English... 

Thursday we went to a cool place in our sector called Enghien Les Bains and did like 8 hours of work there. It was hard, but it was pretty effective! After that we just worked in our sector...don't really remember too much!

Friday the whole day I was in Chartes doing a baptismal interview...for a 9 year old boy. He passed. His family was really nice. So pretty much the whole day I was in a car or on a train. It was long.

 

Saturday we were suppose to get a new fridge and oven because ours don't work. The homie never showed up... Also we had transfers that day. I am staying in Paris and getting a new comp named Elder Young. Everyone in the apartment besides me is leaving haha. They all got transferred to different areas...but they are all still in Paris, it was really weird.

 

Sunday - Betty, the lady with a baptismal date, came to church for the whole 3 hours. Which never happens in France. She is super awesome. We taught her after. Then we just went out and worked passed by Aristides house and taught him the restoration. Then did some more contacting.

Today we were suppose to get the fridge and oven again...but instead the guy shows up with a dryer... so we had to re-put everything back in the fridge again for the 2nd time...super annoying. Elder Perry (the Tahitian) and I are on an exchange right now so its been a fun P-day, did not get to see anything but we just walked around Paris it was a good break. Thanks for all your emails, I love you guys!
