A bird pooped on my foot



So this week went super fast, I feel like not much has happened...

Last week for p day we went to the zoo haha they had ALOT of birds, but they were pretty cool birds, and before that we had some steak and fries which were delicious, best part was that they were free! A member worked at the restaurant, so good!

Speaking of food, everyone says that people like you more if you eat a lot soooo I will probably be gaining a lot of weight here, just kidding, I've been exercising every morning. 

They have what they call American sandwiches which is where they put meat and sauce and lettuce and fries in a baguette and call it a sandwich. I love them. I also had McDonalds during my exchange with the stls (thats the leaders over the sisters. Once every six weeks we spend a day with them.) McDonalds was good but super expensive. A meal is like 14 dollars.

We have zone conference tomorrow, so president is flying over for that which I am super stoked about, kind of because it is all going to be in English which is nice haha but also because we will have all the missionaries of New Cal together.

Other news... not a whole lot has happened. A bird pooped on my foot while we were waiting at the bus stop, that was funny, oh and on the bus we heard an interesting remix of Moana and Hollaback girl, haha that was funny as well.

A lot of the kids in the ward will come up and ask me if I am from Utah, haha which is cute and it's nice talking to them because they are patient with my French.

Our investigators are doing alright, a lot of them have a problem with the word of wisdom which is hard to help but we are trying. We do have one youth investigator who has only had two lessons but she started reading the Book of Mormon on Thursday and she is already on 2 Nephi 24. That made me so happy to hear!! And while we were sitting in the chapel waiting for an activity to start I saw her sitting in the corner by herself just reading the Book of Mormon, that made my week probably. The gospel brings so much joy, but sharing the gospel and seeing others find joy in it as well is one of the greatest feelings ever!

All You Need is LOVE

yes my package came yesterday!! perfect timing in fact!  Anyway all is well here, normal missionary work, not much to report on this week. Bermos and Linda i think are going to have to wait to go to vanuatu to get married, we tried getting all their paperwork and everything together so that they could get married here but with having to translate a lot of stuff (because their papers were in english and would have to be in french) and what not it became a little too complicated and we wouldnt have enough time, so i think they are going to go back to vanuatu and get married over there and then have Bermos's baptism over there as well. Veronica is doing good, we had to reschedule our lesson for this week, but we are praying that she willl be coming to church this sunday anyway.  Something ive learned in the mission is just how to love everyone, how to accept peoples imperfections and not let their weaknesses get in the way of seeing the good in people, and seeing their di...

elloooooo bonjourrrrr saluuuut  hows it going? all is well here in new cal, workin away in same old koutio! things are going well though, i feel like i dont really have much to report. We did see Bermos this week, and hes doing great! And guess what my dream when i was younger of being a wedding planner, its come true!!! haha we are in the middle of helping Bermos and Linda get married! I dont think it will be quite as exciting as the TLC wedding planning shows pretty sure itll just be a civil marriage so our job is just to help them get the papers together but still! anyway we shall see how it goes over but wish us luck!  other than that all is well, we had a lesson with veronica yesterday that was awesome, she is this really sweet mami (grandma) from wallis, she dosent speak great french so we have been having a member who speaks wallesian come and translate for us during the lesson so that she can understand better, and she is starting to progress! love her...

But yah its been RAINING!! i love it! i forgot how happy the rain makes me :) the sun had been stressing me out! As for Bernadette she is doing great! and a plus her sister, who isnt a member has seen how bernadette has stopped smoking and now wants to meet with us so we can help her stop smoking as well, so now we are teaching her sister too!
