Bonjour tout le monde!
Today we did a zone Pday so right now we're all in Montpellier at the sketchiest internet cafe. Also I can't figure out how to change the keyboard so I guess it's about time I learn how to use a French one. I apologize for the typos in advance.
For our Pday we all played frisbee and soccer and I may have even gotten a little sun! Yay! missionary tan lines though...gotta love them. Tonight we're heading to Montauban for an exchange with the sisters there. I will get to see my MTC companion again! I'm excited. After that we have a district meeting in Carcassone and then going to Toulouse for another exchange. So we will only have 3 days in our sector this week total and then the week after that we have only a few days before everyone heads to Lyon for a special conference. And then it's the end of the transfer so wow! Time flies. We're getting our transfer calls this Fridaytoo-a little earlier than normal, but now you'll know a week in advance what's happening. Sister Castagno and I are guessing we'll both be staying, but you never know.
This week I had a proud mom moment with one of our amies. On an exchange with the STLs we went to see Flavie, one of the amis that Allison was working with for a long time. Her husband was there and was asking a lot of questions about how church is different than all the others and Flavie answered all his questions and even proceeded to tell him the story of the first vision. It was the greatest! It's been a long time since she's been taught that too, so I was so happy! She has a testimony of the truth and has been so well prepared. She's ready to be baptized, she just needs the support of her boyfriend/husband. We will not give up.
Our baptism engagé Huguette is still super excited for baptism, but she can't come to any of our rdv's on time. Or church. It's actually really sad because she has such a desire to be baptized but now we have to move her date back because we won't have time to do all the lessons. Haha she's just so funny though...she's so excited to be a member of the church that she's already talked to someone about our upcoming ward talent show. And in one of our lessons she just burst into song because she really can't wait to share that talent with the ward haha. We have quite a lot of funny song stories with amis and recent converts but only videos can adequately portray our experiences. Hopefully I can take one sometime.
We're getting iPads at our huge conference at the end of the transfer. So that's cool. Although President has also said that the work has slowed down in almost all missions that have iPads. On verra.
Word is slowly getting out in the mission that I had dreads in my past life....even one of the assistant's interrogated me about it on the phone. At this rate they will never let me train or go anywhere cool.
So Juna's mission papers are in?? France Lyon Mission is my guess. Haha but I'm also really feeling a stateside mission for her maybe..? I can't wait to find out!
Je vous aime!
Soeur M. Hurd
