Hey all!
What another crazy week. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun in the process.
We had a training also on the training program then ate lunch. After I surprised Soeur Richards by taking her to the famous Paris Opera house; She's a ballerina and has always dreamed of seeing it so I made some arrangements and we went and snuck a peak or two. It was really fun to see her face. It was also really cool because they were doing construction and as we were walking by, literally two small pieces just fell right in front of us, so naturally i may or may not have picked them up...and i may or may not have a piece of the Paris Opera house. no big or anything. Our tender mercy for the day.
So Wednesday, we went out to a ville called Iwuy. We have these incredible members that just moved here. And they are on fire with having the desire to do missionary work! They are a young family and he served his mission in Montreal. She is a convert, and they have the cutest kids ever. So we went to their home, he came home on his lunch and we prayed all together. He prayed for us that we would find people to teach and that their home would always be open for the missionaries adn the people in their city. It was pretty incredible. I had lost my voice at the beginning of the week and really had no idea how we were going to do it. So we prayed for a miracle that i would be able to speak, i opened my mouth and voilà. I could talk. Such a miracle. So with our prayer in our hearts, we left their house and began working. There was an incredible cemetary at the edge of town with a big memorial for WWI we had a cool moment where we felt the ancestors of these people telling us to find their posterity. We know that there's someone in that ville who is ready! We knocked doors for 3 hours. We got 150 knocked, which is a pretty big miracle. We ended up finding 3 people who invited us to come back! We're really excited and will be going back this week. As we were doing the last contact, my companion was talking to a woman and i saw a police car pull up. After we finished talking with the lady, they came over and I realized they were coming for us! haha oh boy. A first time for everything right?
So they proceeded to interrogate me for about a good 10 minutes asking specific questions about why we were there and what we were doing in that town and how we got there and who we knew...etc. But the funniest part, is they asked me what we say to people when we knock their doors. So naturally, I just contacted them and shared our message with them. haha after that they were pretty nice and let us go with no major problems. I mean really? What are 2 little girls that look like they're 15 who talk about Jesus going to do in a neighborhood at 5:00 on a Tuesday night...haha people are crazy. I'm a real Gangsta now mom. no biggie! hittin with the big boys.
So we made it back to the Rosseaux's and we told them what had happened and how I had contacted the police with our message. I didn't realize what I'd done till after when it was a little less scary, but we laughed and laughed and laughed about it. It was so great to be in their home and to have them. They are incredible and are always there for us.

We also got a referal from the church, which was way cool! We haven't had one in a long time. We went and figured out how to get there and bought train tickets and left as soon as we could. We got all teh way out there and it was pouring rain! Cats and dogs! We walked and walked with our little googlemap printout and finally found it! Turns out shes really not interested, but it was cool to go and sacrifice to see if we can find people who are ready.
And my greatest blessing this week, happened Tuesday. I've told you a little bit about my Pierache family here. They are incredible and have been members for a little over a year. They are constantly helping us and treating us like their kids. Well this week; they went to England and got sealed as a family! Some of the ward members went and surprised them to be there for the ceremony. We heard nothing but incredible things and I had a moment to sit and talk with Soeur Pierache about how she felt. She told me how excited she was for me when I could do it with my husband some day; Ah that is why i'm here!!! To find people like the Pierache's who are ready! they are incredible! spoke in stake conference last week, sealed this week. BOSSES.
Well here goes another transfer! I hit my 11 month mark today. Can you believe it? 4 more transfers to go. Time is flying too fast.
