Sister Rodriguez Mission Adventures in New Caledonia

This first week with S. Chard has been awesome, she is great, and we have very similar work ethics and ways of doing things so it has been really great working together. She is super sweet, and there are a lot of moments where we honestly think we are like the same person. But shes great, we are hoping to work as hard as we can while we are together. We have been trying to come up with some new creative ideas for finding people, so ill let you know how they go this week haha not much more has happened this week, we had zone conference which went well, had all the missionaries together. Since S Chard and I are in leadership we had to give just like a 15 minute training, that i think went pretty well. Remember that lesson in young womens with the rocks, how you have to put in the big rock first and then add in the little stuff after? the good, better, best, kind of concept. We had the big rock as our missionary objectif, to invite others to come unto Christ. I think it went prett...

Bonjouuuuuuuuuur This week was pretty good! Lots of changes and stuff happening, it has been a busy week. Soeur Carbayal and I worked really hard together our last week, and it payed off. One day we were out contacting in a neighborhood where there was literally no one and every house had a gate on it so we couldnt knock on any doors or anything, it was hot and we were tired, we had walked around for a long time not seeing anyone to talk to. So we walked towards the ocean and just looked across the bay for some time, not really knowing what to do this next. then this younger lady came next to us, she was collecting rocks for something (she explained what, but it was in french so i missed that) my companion and i went up to talk to her, and just see if she would be interested in the gospel or the book of mormon, we gave her the book of mormon and asked her if she would read it and she said, definitley, she said that she thought we were a sign sent to her right then in the middle of...

  a picture that S. carbayal caught of me as we were waiting for the bus, pretty much expresses my feelings about talking in french over the phone. its hard enough to understand english on the tiny phone, let a lone french, its a struggle.  

okay this week! hmmmm we are getting toward the end of transfers, so its possible that change will be a coming! but still dont know, we find out friday. First photo is a picture of us at the "tours de magenta" pretty much the high light of our area. Its about 7 or 8 big and kind of sketchy apartment buildings. A lot of the missionaries dont really like the tours, but their not bad. the elevators kind of remind me of tower of terror thoguh, they are all dimmed and, small and its just a metal box with lots of graffitti on it taking us up to a lesson where we are hoping to share the gospel with someone. Soeur Carbayal and i like the tours though, not necessarily because of the buildings but because there are a lot of people there that we like a lot. The other photos are of our two youth investigators, Boris, who has been doing really good (although anytime we commit him to do something, he says hell do it if we make him cookies haha). And the other is Kura. th...
