We just came from touring the HUGE Basilica in the middle of ST QUENTIN! It was built on the top of the headless corps of Saint Quentin. In like the 600s an angel appeared to a blind woman and told her to go find the corps in a river. So she did and dragged it as far as she could till she got tired because it was so heavy and full of water. Where she finished is where they built the basilisk (ha in french its basilique and its just TOO close for us not to just call it the basilisk).
Also during church yesterday, my comp started itching her arm with a pen.... and ya, the cap was off and she had pen ALL up and down her arm. haha LOVELY.

Well Monday after we visited an obsesive non active (that was interesting), we went and did some contacting. We were at our door at 855 and decided to be obidient and walk down the street and back till 900. Well God sure does like obedient missionaries and put a couple into our path! At first they werent interested at first because they had lost a young child, but after bearing testimony of the Plan of Salvation and saying a prayer with them, we were able to fix a rendez vous with them for the next night.
Well the next night rolls around... not really rolls ha time doesnt just roll on the mission...and we were planning on meeting them at the post office to take them to the chapel where a sister in the ward was waiting for us. Well they didnt show, and so we called the sister and said wait there, we're going to walk to the chapel doing contacting, pray for us and well find someone that we can teach. So we litterally starting running and stopped every woman in site and knocked on all the doors that had lights on... unfortunately it wasnt Gods will for us to find someone that night, but it sure made the night interesting and hopefully showed the ward that were willing to work.
Speaking of running, ha after our first and only district meeting in AMIENS, all 8 of us missionaries missed the bus and so we had to litterally sprint to the gare. Ha i had a huge heavy bag of glass pans so i was in the back and it was HILARIOUS to watch the peoples faces as 8 youngins wearing suits and dresses booking it with bags. hahahahhahaha i died laughing after i caught my breath.
SPEAKING OF NOT BEING IN SHAPE: My comp and I have made a plan. We ARE going to loose weight... BUT I need your help! I need you to ask me how im doing and encourage me. If Im held accountable it will help me and motivate me. so please HELP its a dire situation.

We did lots and lots and lots of finding this week... but no fruits :/ its been rough cause apart from the josses who we see once a week and the niamkés who we see twice a month, we dont have any investigators so our days are just simply OPEN or full of less actives. Wellon thursday we decided to just do some non active hunting and stop by people on the ward list that no one has any information on. So we stopped by one family. It was POURING rain and their 20 ish year old son comes out and said that his dad used to be a member but is no longer interested and he isnt either. Well of course we left him with a card and thought nothing of it.

Well we walk into church on sunday and the elders were like "hey some guy you contacted is here".. we were so confused cause we dont contact men. Well we see him and we were super shocked, like taken back ha it was sooo funny! He came! And stayed for three hours and met with the elders and is meeting with them again on tuesday!!! COOOL!
Saturday we were able to see the Josse Family. We did the restoration very simply and with pictures for the boys. I think they really liked it. Alexis was very invovled and I was surprised about how quickly he learned it. He recounted it back to us at the end.
We did some violin contacting this week and ate at a chefs house from the ward.... IT WAS SOOO GOOD. I was in heaven, in heaven. Ya it was soo good that it deserves two in heavens. MMMM. Pistache and orange. Who would have ever thought.
We also learned to make crepes and fondue at georgette! Shes been having a hard time reading and understanding the BOM. So she teaches us french cuisine and we read with her! Great trade off I know! She has great questions and is just sooo cute! Next week is pies! MMMM
