Week 32: Vive jesus-Christ!!

Well to explain the heading, we were porting a neighborhood and as we were leaving a guy on a moped stopped us to ask for money for gas and I said we didn't have any and he stopped and stared at our badges and
before we could ask any question he said (translated into English) "thanks anyways, LIVE JESUS CHRIST!" He yelled that last part with a fist pump to the air and drove away on his moped. Leaving me and my little blue laughing really hard because it was so random and funny! XD

This week not too much happened other than trains, and trains, a cold, and more trains!

We are living in a second apartment of a member here up in a city called Chatellerault, which is 15-30 min away on train depending if you get a fast train that stops only at big stations or a slow train which stops at every single station. We are still trying to move apartments but we are having problems with the contract so we don't know if we will move in this week, but I hope so because I hate living out of suitcases! And taking two trains everyday is exhausting, and if we are late leaving we have to run to the train station in our dresses and skirts and that is tiring with bags and water bottles in the heat.

It is a little ridiculous... Haha and one morning it was really cold and I caught a cold. In the middle of August. Like only me seriously, sitting here dying of heat and wanting a blanket and then having cold flashes, my body doesn't understand whats going on haha but it has finally started going away, which is wonderful because it's not like we can just go back to the apartment to rest for a lunch;p

This week we got two new engages(people with baptismal dates) They are a little far away but it is still so super exciting and I hope that they will keep our commitments because it is so important! Its so sad, sometimes people judge us super quickly and won't even let us open our mouths but all we want to do is just share what we believe and then after that, you can accept it or not, its your choice and no one will force you to accept that, but at least we have done our job.

We found a little waterfall in the middle of Poitiers which was super cool! i miss the water and going on vacation to the beach, the hot weather and no air conditioning makes the beach just so perfect haha but not for another 11 months;p It is crazy how fast the mission flies by, it flies by at the slowest pace ever which is something you can
only experience. It is a weird feeling but a mission is quand meme a peculiar thing but it's a good peculiar:)

Training is so fun, I get to see France and the mission through fresh eyes and it is so cool to see how se sees everything:) And trying all the patisseries again with her! And food.... Haha she tried mushrooms for the first time! And a whole lot of other weird french food.... Today we ate at a buffet restaurant which was really good and we split a muscle because she hadn't ever tried it! She is so great and even though she took Spanish before the mission, she has no fear in talking with anyone! She also magically finds every English speaker in Poitiers which is really cool! ;p

I love you all, good luck with your end of the summer plans!:)
