It doesn't seem real, at all.
This last week was pretty crazy, some hard days, but some great days.
Our teachers both went on vacation, so we had a lot of subs, which meant
our "amis de l'eglise" investigators, weren't avaiable.
So we taught all these new amis that our teachers made up. It was hard!!!
We did door to door lessons of athiests, that was hard but not as hard as the lesson
we did with a less active member named Sarah. That was so hard!
She had "called" us to have us come over, so we planned a lesson about how Christ
cares, and will comfort her if she needs him, and she literaly sat there the whole time, not saying anything, telling us that she didn't think God cared about her and that she prayed everyday and he never cared, and she never felt his love. and of course I started crying because even though it was just practice, and not real, it was so sad! We left the lesson feeling so bad because she literally just sat there, no matter what we said she just didn't agree, and there really wasn't anything we could say. But at the end of the day, the teacher told us that we did a good job, but I just can't see how. It was so hard.
But our teachers are back now so we have our normal investigators, and those lesssons are good.
Let's see. What has happened this last week...
Well. NOTHING!!! I literally do the same thing every single day. I love it, but it's very routine now.
Oh ya, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! except, we werent allowed to celebrate. We didn't get to see fire works or anyting like that, it was just a nowmal day for us, except we had a chips and dip party at 10:00.. haha. it was extravagant.
I've been bad, gym time literally all we do is play 4 square, and so many people play it now that we spend the greater majority of time just standing around doing nothing! And there is someting about the dessert here that I just can not resist. and also they have doughnuts every morning!1 every morning. Who does that?? Seriously? Who? every morning! I can't resist!
But I weighed my self the other day... ya. That happened. Doesn't change anything. I still love doughnuts, and cookies which they also have practically every day. Oh ya and ice cream, every wednesday and sunday. Oh and the brownies and cakes every other day.
Let's just say that I am disciplining myself to celery.. only celery. and dessert.
Okay, maybe i'll add some carrots in there to. and grape fruit. but that is it!
Soeur Hurd and I are sister training leaders now. So ya, I'm a bit nervous about that. I hope I can do the job well. I think there are a few sisters that could really use some help, but I don't really know. That's really the only new thing.
This sunday we had the main media man guy person for the church come and speak to us, I though it was going to be boring, but it was actually really interesting. He showed us some new videos that are in the making and gave some interesting stats on video views and such. Very cool. Use church media it is awesome and it can really spark interest!! Go missionary work!!
I don''t know what else to talk about... Thanks for the Dear elders, really it is amazing and definitly the most exciting part of the day! Also one of the elders in my district looks like an older version of Ben (Gibb), I spent the first few days thinking what the heck, this guy.. I swear I know him. Then I realized that he just really looked like Ben, but older.
Oh I guess some of the funny things that have been happening this week, they probably wont be funny to anyone else, but for me its hilarious, because I'ma missionary and everything is hilarious. So in another france bound district there are 3 elders that are tiny! They are really short, and so we all call them the hobbits. I really don't have a story to go along with this, but it's just funny. One day as soeur Hurd and I were studying in the hall a few elders walked by and sad to one another, "hey, where are the hobbits at?" we did not recognize them at all, but they knew about the hobbits. It was funny.
Also we've started to only speak french in the class room for morning and after noons, and sometimes the most random things come out of our mouths. I was trying to say that someones comments was exactly what was in my head, so I started with sa c'est exactement, but then then instead of saying in my head, I just quoted the first vision.. exactement au dessus de ma tete... It was so funny. Not for you guys, but for us. HILARIOUS! we died laughing. And now we do alot of fanglish, and I was trying to say i wanted a hand full of mints. In stead I just said je veut un main full. (main = hand, and is pronounced just like man) So I just said I wanted a man full. Does that make sense, no. Is it funny? no. But we killed ourselves, we could not stop laughing.
Any ways. That's it for today. I hope the last week has been good. Sister Lowry left this morning. We got a picture tpgether so i'll send that next week.
Love every one lots!!!!!!!!!!!
