Well another week flew by but so insanely fast so get ready to read a brain dump haha of week five of this transfer haha and the title of this email comes from the brother of my companion from one of the many stories we had the chance to share this week when and it was probably Wednesday I was super sick and stayed in the apartment all day on the sofa and only got up twice - once to eat and then to go back to bed and sleep for the night xD
it was funny but not at all and sad because now I've gotten my companion sick and so medicine woohoo;p but also not because we are in France so like herbal and home remedies from members where whats been up chez nous this week with tons and tons of honey. (apparently its a natural antibody or something according to a member) but also good in warm water haha
This week we also did a lot with family history and have been helping one of our members solve her families mysteries and trying to figure out why in the family the stories are one way but in the official documents they are another and figured out there was some escaping the laws going on;) which was fun and detective-y, she was loving it:) It was exciting and fun and then helped us prepare ourselves a little for our zone conference which was on family history, the temples and every missionary's favorite topic, eternal marriage! ha.
The conference consisted of watching a wonderful clip from the princess bride where we were then called little princess brides by our president as well as the story of how our president and his wife met with some other cute things involving what they wanted in a spouse and how happy they are to be married eternally with some added crazy games involving a scavenger hunt in the chapel and then a provide play doh game where the elders had to do ten push ups each to give us sisters the play doh where we didn't really do anything with it haha ahhh it was awkward and funny and quite interesting watching the elders do sprinting push ups with our president! xD
We also had interviews which was great and then were able to just have a moment all together with our president and his wife and play ping pong and do other fun stuff after lunch, it was great:)
We then went home from branch Council only to return the next day because we had stake conference which was wonderful and then that night had a sleepover all nine of us sisters in Geneva for the rest of stake conference the next morning! That was a crazy crazy night but so fun to see everyone and spend time together:) and funny enough we will be doing it again this weekend for the temple dedication which I am so so so so so so so flipping excited for and where we will be able to go to the temple for the first,last, and only times on our missions in a mission that doesn't have a temple and we will also be watching a cultural celebration that youth around France have been preparing for months now and its so exciting to finish off this transfer this way and to kickoff my last;p
Today we went back down to the gorge to hike and then hiked up to the summit of Mt. Semnoz where you have a wonderful view of the alps, lac d' Annecy and all the cities and villages in our sector and we picnicked up there too! It was crazy, our sandwich bags almost exploded from the pressure of almost 2000 meters;p It was so beautiful and breathtaking to be eye level with the clouds:) But don't be fooled by the 2000 meters, we drove almost all of it except the last 200 to the top haha that we climbed and found some beautiful BLUE flowers and probably chipmunk holes haha:)
I think that is it for this week, it flew but was quite full and this week is a promising one to follow and I can't wait for Friday to know what will happen my last six weeks and then Saturday and Sunday to finally have a temple here in a land I have come to love!
Love you all, have a spectacular week:)
