Mine isn't a vacation and its really just hot..... BUT we found a fan tucked away in a closet in our apartment so at least we aren't dying anymore at night!
So this week we explored castles, Had a ton of rendez vous, and met soooo many Portuguese!
Last pday we went up to Chauvingy which is like an old French village where there are six castles just all right next to eachother so we explored them and then tried to go see a bird show but when it was time for it to start the manager came out and said the show was cancelled because it was really hot and there were only 15 people so
it wasn't worth it to get the birds out:p sorry we weren't important enough....super lame But it was okay we were allowed to see all the birds anyways and got a full refund.
Afterwards since it was hot and we had to wait until the only bus came to come pick us up (the catch with these far away villes, is there is only one bus that goes and leaves that ville each day!) so we got on this little tour bus car
thing and just rode in it for two hours driving circles and talking about the gospel and cheesecake with the driver. It was pretty fun:)
The rest of the week we were running from rendez vous to rendez vous with amis and less actives and members. Its so bad because the buses are running on summer hours so we have to time them just right and sometimes there is only one certain bus once or twice an hour and if we miss it, all of our rendez vous get off track, but we managed to stay on top of it this week and it flew by:) It was great to have so much to do and then on the buses we did lots of contacting and ended up contacting into a Portuguese person like every day, so we dubbed it the week of the Portuguese, it was crazy!
This week also instead of having district meeting we did a mission wide summer cleaning of the apartments but we didnt have much to do since we clean every week so we made a cheesecake like we were planning to make for district meeting and ate that while we waited for cookies to bake for one of our less actives:)
Life is flying by and this is the last week of the transfer!! It is crazy but it is good. We work a lot and are almost always tired but its a good tired because we know we worked hard. Enjoy your summers because its not like that all the time where you can just play and play;p
Love you all:)
