Just kidding. That would be so rude if I
wrote it all in French!!! This week was the bomb! Conference!!! I never appreciated conference until I came on my
mission. It was like Christmas!! How amazing. I got a lot of answers to a
lot of my questions. We had one investigator come to conference. Her name was Maggie (name change) and she is a member referral of Sister Bonbon. She is her very
good friend and Maggie has been searching for more spirituality in her
life. So we have started teaching her twice a week at her work with Sister Bonbon. She came to all of Sunday conference! She said that
she really liked it and she brought her twelve year old daughter who is
very shy. But I talked to her for a while and finally made her smile and
warm up.
Just before conference, another elder
companionship and us went to a Catholic mass. I have always wanted to just see
how other people worship on Sundays. They have lots of big pretty
churches here so we picked one and went at eight o'clock. It was... interesting. It would of been fun to have Mom there to
explain a bit more. It was also all in French and really hard to hear so I didn't hear anything of what the priest said. He just talked about
faith a lot. They had a band at the front with drums and guitar for the
music which might just be because it's in the West Indies. It was fun to
see other culture's way of worship but... I think I'm sticking to my
church. Haha. So far from what Christ first established. So ridiculous!
We also got our transfer calls this week. Yep it's a new transfer!!! AND...drum roll please...I will still be here with Sister Stahle. Haha. but..., more drum rolls.....
we will be on bikes!!! They opened up some new areas because ours was
so big and put us on bikes. We have been wanting bikes for a while because we both like adventures and like the extra exercise. Apparently President Mehr wanted sisters on bike
for a while and we are the first ones to volunteer. I feel like I
volunteer to do the first crazy things in the mission all of the time. So we should be together for this next transfer as maybe the next, but I'm not sure. That was kind of shady. But soon we will be getting five
new french speaking sisters!!! Four from the USA and one from Haiti and she will speak Creole!!
This week has
been great and I am ready for another transfer and to work super hard
and be super obedient and do my very best. Isn't life so much fun and
wonderful. It's really hard and has so many yucky things when we use our
agency poorly and affect ourselves and others. But when we use it well Heavenly Father can bless us and life becomes BEAUTIFUL!!! Ah. I love my Heavenly Father.
Something funny form this
week. We were out contacting and asked a lady if she wanted to hear our
message. She looked really confused and said, "No, not right now!" Then we
told her it was about Jesus Christ. She looked even more confused
and said that she couldn't pay for something like that. We told her it
was free. Then she looked even more confused and asked "So do you give
the massages yourself in people's homes? That's very strange." Hahahahaha. She thought we were going to give her a massage. Like rubbing her back. Silly accent. The words "message" and "massage" are the same in French!
Well, I love you all and hope that you have a wonderful week!!! Happy birthday, Mom!!!
