Thank you aunt Amy for the package!! I loved it so so much! Tell the kids thank you! I need to send yall something! I hope youre enjoying Utah!
This week was a rollercoaster!! But I really enjoyed it!
Monday Marie Delacourt took us around to see Rennes. I live in the sweetest city ever, so much history and cool things that I didnt ever really know exsisted until she showed us! Then we took her to a French families house for dinner. She had never met a french mormon family that was "normal", so that was really good for her. But she left for the summer, I am sad.
Tuesday was so cool. So Marie-Annette and Abdias accepted our invitaiont to have a soiree familiale with a family! I told them that we needed to leave at 18h30 and we got there and they were standing at the door all ready to go in their best clothes and they were so excited! We had a great night and they loved it. Unfortunately they are going to paris for the summer i had to say goodbye and it was really hard. They have grown alot and i will really miss them.
Wednesday we had a ROCKIN lesson with Loma. She is the chinese student i met on the metro and we had a soiree familale with her on sunday. She really opened up to us and explained how lonely she felt here in france and we talked about prayer and the plan of salvation and scripture reading and it was just wonderful. Strong spirit. We called her to ask her if she wanted to come to church and we didnt even have to ask her! She answered and said "you go to church tomorrow?" Hahah she had a good time and we got a text from her that said "thank you for telling me about gold" she meant God ha. So cute. We are going to set a date with her this week!
Thursday was sweet. Had dinner with a member whose house is like.... a mansion like HUGE.and ALL of the ceilings are double decker and they have a pool and it was just weird to see space. I didnt know how to handle myself ha
Lucy and Gladys are doing well! We had a crazy lesson with Lucy where we taught her like all of the commandments, but she accepted all of them including tithing and she is just great i love her. Gladys didnt come to church and i am worried. She is progressing but more slowly. She needs friends and I dont know exactly who is her best fit in the ward. but she loves us and promsed to continue to read and pray to get a strong testimony. I hope all goes well there.
Shaina is getting baptized this saturday! We are excited! She is so cute. She drew me a cute picture and just loves us! She is ready! Ill send pictures of that next week. She just is going to be a great example. She comes from a crazy family and we are going to start working on her non member mom who comes to shainas lessons.
Saturday our friend Fatima broke down and told us how lonely she is here in France. We are going to try to be there more for her and bring in a member who can be with her, we fasted for her before we saw her and maybe it was our miracle that she broke down because she really opened up to us. Then there was sunday...... we had 5 amis there again but Mart told me she didnt have a place to sleep... it was stressful and no one was helping me... so finally the relief society president stepped up to the plate to help us. I feel so bad for these immigrants.
Anyways i said i dont want to be a bishop because having everyone tell me there problems was hard!! I understand what mom was feeling as RS pres. Its just hard and all you can do is pray because you cant do very much.
I love you all!!
