So funny story...I was SUPER nervous to get my bleu, like way nervous. Ha, but we get to Paris and guess who they assign me to??? MY MATH TA. Ha, we were friends at BYU and we were sooo excited. She cried when she found out that I was going to train her! We are such great friends already. I love her. God really does know us. Her name is Soeur Lorraine Hilton. She grew up in California and now her family lives in Alpine Utah. And guess what?? She is healthy. We go running everyday and buy lots of veggies. Hopefully those skirts get looser. Shes pretty tired and it makes me laugh because she falls asleep on the bus or when I'm on the phone... I was totally just there so I understand completely.
This week was crazy. We went and said goodbye to everyone with Soeur Stapley, then I got my bleu; then we just did a ton of finding. Soeur Stapley and I never had to do much, but it was needed; and its hard, especially since both of us have no experience in finding, but we got some good potentials... most of which have already flaked on us. bummer. But we did find some people to teach that the elders used to teach years ago.
I also gave my first talk in FRENCH. Everyone loooovvved it. Ha, they said that I was so cute because I'm sure I sound like a two year old. I used an analogy that Nicole told me and everyone just loved it. They said that my french was almost perfect.....haha but only because I wrote it before hand and memorized it haha. But that was super nerve wracking. I spoke for like 13 minutes.
Well its been cold and rainy here. Not too fun for contacting. Hopefully well start finding to people to teach here soon. Pray for that. One time I had the whole bus talking to each other. It was really funny. I thought they were family, but they didn't even know each other.. that was a miracle because French people simply don't talk to each other.
I love you all and wish you the best. Keep praying and reading together as a family.
Love
Sœur Kohlert
