Chenonceaux
Yo! Had a super killer week this week, one of my favorites for sure!
Monday was p-day and it was the best! We visited a castle in Chenonceaux, it was the most beautiful thing I've seen in France. I took like a postcard picture of the castle so I hope it will attatch well to the email so y'all can see. Then we had a FHE at the church - it wasn't a huge turn out. Our ami came and said goodbye to us because he was leaving on vacation for the week.
Tuesday in the morning we did confidentiality reports for our zone and that’s always pretty boring and takes a lot time but it wasn't too bad. We even got to do it in our apt this time so that was nice. Then we went out and did some finding and found some cool people, and we saw one of our amis and she's pregnant now... #awkward. But we like never see her anymore because she never answers.
Wednesday we had DM in Le Mans it was really fun, our DL there right now is a pretty energetic guy. Then after that we tried seeing one of our amis at the train station, but he ended up not showing up, so that was a bummer. And our other lesson fell through as well... So we ended up having a whole lot of nothing that day so we just went finding.
Thursday we had another DM, but this time in Bourges. It's a ville really similar to Auxerre (my second city) it's actually right next to it as well. It's pretty also. We did a finding day there so we had about 8 missionaries there all working in this little ville it was pretty fun! I was with a missionary that I really like and we taught a lot people together and bumped into an old ami on the road. Then we came back and were walking home to eat and we met this guy who spoke English and was super cool and prepared for the gospel. He gave us his address so we are planning on stopping by soon.
Friday was just packed of planning honestly nothing too interesting happened. We went to DMP meeting, our DMP is a good guy. He was originally Muslim and converted when he was 18 and then served a mission! Then we planned for our upcoming activities and week because we are going to have a big week coming up! Then we went to a ville called Amboise it's super pretty and we visited an awesome family with another member who is visiting from Germany, she is doing like an internship for like a month or something. But it was awesome! She served her mission in Berlin and the other family lived in Frankfurt for a while because the husband works for the church. Their house is super nice as well and it was just an awesome night! We got home super late though haha.
Saturday was sooooooo much fun. We had a branch activity and this "recreational park" we all thought it was just going to be like a picnic so (luckily) we wore normal clothes because our DMP told us to, because it ended up being like a mini Boondocks type deal. They had a mini mountain bike trail (with jumps and everything) these push go-cart things, tramps, rope swings, and like we lived it up haha. It was so much fun. The members were so impressed haha. We also had 2 amis there so that awesome they both came to church too. Activities are awesome. When we got home we showered and stuff then went out contacting.
Sunday we went to church and it was good. Elder Gee had to teach the lesson so that was nice. I had to bless the sacrament ( I do every week ) but this week something kinda cool happened. The kid next to me blessing the sacrament kept messing up and like I was reading it for him and helping him pronounce French words (even though it's his first language) it was kinda cool to think how much my french has improved in 2 years. I remember doing it in my 2nd ville and having to repeat it like 4 times. Then we taught a recent convert and jammed a little bit on the guitar. Talked about the law of chastity all that good stuff. Then we visited our American amis!!! They are so awesome and they only live 3 doors down from us. They are an older couple and super Christian and so awesome. It was nice explaining the gospel in English to real Americans...I think serving state side would have been awesome! Although I am really happy to have the call that I received :)
Thanks you guys for everything! You're the best,
love you all!
