Natalie December 17, 2013

I left the beautiful town of Melun. The family Ponnelle drove us to the gare and i got to say my last goodbyes; i love that place and will never forget it!!
So mom get this...remember how when I was like 16 and i couldn't even drive across AF because I was so nervous and stuff? Well your little girl took a train all by herself across France! All alone. woot woot! Look who's growin up! It was a pretty cool train ride. it was like 2 hours I think and I just looked out the window and saw the same green rolling hills and fields that I saw when I flew in. They looked a little different this time. I saw faces and people and my heart was so full. I LOVE FRANCE.
So Valenciennes! It is beautiful! We have already seen so many miracles. It is the very north of france just close to Belgium. It is very cold! But very beautiful.  My companion is the cutest thing in the world. Her name is Soeur whisler and she is from Nevada. We get along so well! She's the cutest thing.
We have done a lot of finding. We went porting the other night. We knocked a door and the guy opened the door and in english was like "hello sisters, you want to come in right?" We were surprised but said, uh yeah that'd be great. We went in and turns out, his wife had been contacted by misionaries a few months ago. He thought we were passing by! He has been taught by missionaries for years. He even had a D&C and Book of Mormon and everything! It was crazy. He knows everything and has been taught everything. He is a brilliant man and loves studying religion. We had a cool rendez-vous and at the end I testified of the Savior. He asked me how I knew that Jesus was the Christ. That morning I had studied all the names that you gave me Mom! So I was able to testify of all the names I found and that I knew Christ lives. It was so cool and the spirit was strong. He invited us to come back! And we went yesterday. I'm excited to keep teaching them.
We also went and did a passby. We walked in and all of a sudden this wave of stench hit us! and these two women were gutting sheep. 3 of them to be exact! it smelled SO bad! For a circumsision party. OH MY HECK; we were dying. we all just laughed and laughed like we were all best friends. We will be going back to visit them soon. I really love the people here!
We are seeing lots of miracles and having lots of fun in the process.
 
Well I love you all a lot! and i CAN NOT WAIT to skype you all soon!! Woot woot! let me know. I talked with just about times so hopefully we can make it work with loge too.
I know the church is true! and i love you all so much.
Love
Your Nat girl
100% no regrets I've promised to give MORE
LOVE YOU
