To Paris With Love

Week #98
Chambord

Monday we had a super fun pday. We visited a castle in Blois sector called
Chambord and it was super beautiful! Then we came back and had a FHE with
the single adults like we do every week.

Tuesday we had district meeting in Le Mans, then directly after we did a
finding day in Le Mans as well. It was Elder McBride and me together and
neither one of us had ever gone proselyting in Le Mans so we ended up
getting pretty lost and in a super ghetto neighborhood. But it was pretty
fun.

Wednesday we went to Blois in the morning and it was pouring rain like
crazy. And there was a crazy lighting storm going on too and we took
shelter under a tin building (which was not our best idea) so I was
convinced we were going to die so we took flight and bailed and just walked
in this crazy storm until we got to the apt. Then I went on an exchange with
Elder Williams, I lived with him when i was in St. Ouen. It was pretty fun
we just did a bunch of work in the rain then went to seminary because they
had an investigator there.

Thursday we went to district meeting in Bourges. After we did a finding
day. We worked in Bourges for like 4 hours straight of contacting then we all
went and got some dinner. Our return train was around 7ish, so we all walked
to the train station and it says our train is cancelled... and it was the
last one leaving Bourges (because it's a pretty small city) There was
another train that was suppose to come in an hour but it also got cancelled... so
10 missionaries (4 being Sisters) were stuck in Bourges and there was only
1 missionary apt. We tried looking for taxis but they were all crazy
expensive. So we ended up staying a night in a hotel in Bourges haha.

Friday we checked out of our rooms and headed to Tours. Once we got to
Tours we had to do some planning for the up coming week and for the
trainings that we will be giving soon. After that we got to see our ami Max
who is super awesome. We talked to him about repentance to prepare him for
baptism.

Saturday we packed our bags and headed out to Paris. Once we got to Paris
we took the RER to Evry and we had a stake conference meeting and only the
ZLs were allowed to go in that stake so it was just us and two other
missionaries. After that we met up with Elder Johnson and his comp
and ate at a Chinese buffet and stayed the night at their place! It was so
much fun!

Sunday we woke up early in the morning in order to go back down to Evry for
the Sunday morning meeting. After that was over we took a train back home
to Tours. And the train was forever long. When we got back we ate and did
our phone calls.

Voila that was my week thanks for your emails guys! Love you!
