Had Facebook for 3 days
Monday was a great day. We had a normal p-day. Lately we just go get our groceries then we head over to the church and play basketball/ping-pong and do our emails at the same time. Then we bring some missionary clothes in a bag and get changed at the church and wait for the single adults to show up so that we can have a FHE. FHE went good we had an ami there so that was nice.

Tuesday we started week 2 district meetings. In our mission when you are a ZL, week 2 you have to go to everyones district meetings in the entire zone. We started in St. Quentin. It's a pretty diverse district, 4 Canadians, an Elder from Eslavador, Louisiana, Florida, and then Elder Dayley and I. Elder Dayley is in my zone! After DM we came home and visited a less active. Then we went to the church to set up our mission Facebook accounts. I had to deactivate my old one and make a new one. Our mission is pretty strict NONE OF YOU GUYS CAN ADD ME. Only people in our sector.
Wednesday was another good day! We went to the DM in Arras (our normal district) it gets kinda tiring hearing practically the same trainings everyday, but they are all on how to use Facebook for proselyting, it's pretty fun. Then we went home and did some Facebook'ing it's actually pretty fun finding friends and stuff like that! Then we taught English/Mission prep class at the church and it was really good. They gave a bunch of Facebook referrals so that was legit!
Thursday we went to the final DM in Calais (a ville right next to England) it's always cool going there because it's next to the ocean. Then we went to St. Omer to do an exchange. It was cool. I was with Elder Wilson for the first time. He goes home in 4 weeks (random fact we have 3 Elder Wilsons in our zone and a Sister Wilson it's weird) but we had a good exchange. We found new amis and taught people. It was awesome. Then we did a kebab challenge and all got sick haha.
Friday we finished our exchange in St. Omer. Then we had a little layover in Lille so we walked around the train station for a bit, its a super big city! Then we headed back to Amiens. Saw a less active guy right as we got home. Then taught another one of our amis. Later we did more ZL online data.
Saturday we had a random conference call, talking about the zone conference subjects... we are giving our trainings on Tuesday. I thought that was a little last minute...but we are talking about working with members and progression sheets. We skyped the other zone leaders that we we are having a conference with to distribute tasks. I taught my first lesson on Facebook that was cool! Then we went to a super less active family's house and we did a family home evening with them. It was interesting...
Sunday we went to church. My favorite members actually gave us a ride! Then they gave me a b-day present. They gave me a super nice tie, I was spoiled. They are so nice. Church continues to be interesting... I was pretty bummed because Sunday was the Fete de Musique (music party) where like everyone in France dedicates a day to music and people play on the streets everywhere. We didn't get to go to anything because we were so busy :/. We made our training. Over all it was a good week! Thanks for your emails love you guys!

P.S. ONE MORE THING. So we just got a text from the First Presidency saying NO MORE FACEBOOK FOR ANY MISSIONARIES IN THE WORLD...so that was fun having facebook for 3 days. haha
