One of the things I was able to do this week was get a french license and that is pretty sweet because we went in and were out in like 20 minutes which almost never happens ever! And in a month I will get the real hard little license haha, but until then just a temporary paper one:) But its still cool!
We also had a LOT of mangez vous....we ate so much this week! We went to a family in this wards house for food and they cooked it on a stone right on the table, it was soo good but there was like four courses of various meats, a giant rice salad course, and homemade amazing chocolate mousse for dessert(I totally got the recipe!) And it was all so amazing! We also picnic-d this week with a family from senegali and it was so fun, the food is so simple, healthy and quick! The meal for all ten of us was done in like 30 minutes!! It was amazing! They use
this spice called curcumen... I don't know if it is the same in English, but with a little salt, garlic, onion, and ginger mixed with it, it is an amazing flavor punch!
I don't remember everything we did this week and sadly I don't have my planner because I didn't want to bring it to me to lyon because this week I found out that I AM TRAINING! So I am waiting in Lyon and will get my bleu tomorrow:) I am super excited and already made her planner and everything, cleaned for her too so it will all be good when we go home because since we live so far away, it will actually be only five weeks of the transfer that we spend in our area because it will take forever to get home! The trains don't come super often because its
summer hours so if she is american and we have to stay for legality we might not get home until Friday so we will see:)
This week the biggest miracle happened and it left Sister Takotua in tears and I could not smiling, we have worked with this Senegali family for four months now trying to help them be more united and reactive the half of the family who are less actives and teach the other half that are not members. It has been super difficult but we finally have started to teach the whole family, and they pray and read their scriptures and this Sunday Four of them walked into sacrament meeting after we had started and it was the first time ever....well in forever and sister Takotua just started crying it was amazing...they have an 8 yr old and a 14 yr old who aren't members and they both on Sunday said they want to get baptized! So as soon as I get back we are heading right over to engage them for a date and
it is so exciting and just truly marvelous... I am so grateful for the softening of their hearts and the willingness they have to just follow Christ. It is beautiful and I am so grateful that the spirit touched their hearts:')
I love you all, have an amazing week! Pray I get out of Lyon in a timely fashion;) And that everything goes well for the blues, the poor blues plane got cancelled from Paris to Lyon because of a strike but the Paris mission went to pick them up for us and put them on a direct train to Lyon in first class so hopefully it all goes well because most of them will have never taken a train ever... Haha but it'll be good, maybe they need to meet someone on that train who needs the gospel!
Love you:)
