This week was a week of exchanges. We had the Montauban sisters come to Perpignan on tuesday night and wednesday, and then thursday morning we all left (they went home) and we went to toulouse to do an exchange there till saturday morning.
I got to see Soeur Everett! That was really fun, but also kind of weird because it's like seeing an old boyfriend when you started dating someone else. And for me it's like I started dating 2 people so it was even weirder.. That's not the greatest comparison, but really close.
So Soeur Everett and Sr. Sutcliffe (from new zealand) came and we had so much fun!! Soeur Hurd and I were with Sr. Sutcliffe and Sr.B was with Sr. Ev, in the end Sr. E and Sr.B were both sick, so they stayed at the apartment, and Sr.H and Sut and I were out all day together. It was so much fun!!!
We had a RDV (rendez_vous) set with someone, but they cancelled, so obviously we needed to stop at a pâtisserie to get something, and luckly there was literally 5 steps away... so we go and get a pâtisserie , and are sitting eating finalizing our backup plan, when the lady we had a rdv with called and said we could come right then.. So we scarfed down these dilicious pâtisseries, and head over, only to open her door and smell chocolate cake baking in the oven... haha. we had a lot of treats that day. dinner ended up being spoonfulls of speculoos and nutella... things like that just happen when you're on an exchange. but hey, when in France eh,!!
So we met with her, she's a les active that we teach english to through reading church material, so it's a lesson, and english together. She's really nice, and said that I was erally good at reading french, but the speaking... lets just say I have a lot of practicing to do :)
Soeur Sutcliffe and I went on a run together in the morning and it was AWESOME!! Super hard for me because I haven't run in weeks, but it was so nice!! And she's this amazing runner, so even though I died, i kept up so I felt a bit justified that I had eaten litterally a tub of speculooos for dinner, haha
Let's talk about the work here. So we have one ami who wants to get baptized, but either all her clocks are broken, or she hasn't changed the time from daylight savings.. because she is ALWAYS LATE!! always! sometimes over an hour! but we can't be mad because she is the cutest little thing and writes us these apology notes that are almost like a prayer. You just can't be mad at her! But it is a bit of a waste of our time as missionaries, so we are going to have to talk to her. And then pretty much every other person we meet with, we have not been able to get a hold of . Sooo, this week the focus is, can you guess?
FINDING NEW AMIS!!!!!
We did meet some cool people on the train to toulouse though, so there is hope!!
On sunday we ate at our DMP's house, Faucheux, and it was so good!! They do courses, so the first appetizer things, were bread, of course, with like sausage slices, and a cheese spread and pâté. All really yummy, and then we had maybe the yummiest thing i've eaten so far on my mission. It was croissantes that were cut in half and stuffed with cheese and ham, and then I think baked, because all the cheese was metled and So so so so so so so so GOOD!!! It wzs so good!! then the next course came, which was some meat and these potato kind of pattie things. Sooo good to!! and then we had desset. oh my goodness. She had made fudge, really yummy and then this tiramasu styled thing, but it had speculoos layers and tasted like heaven!!!!! It was so good, but I was sooooo full!!!! I'm going to get the recipes. Also, speculoos, if you don't know what that is, is a spread, like peanut butter or nutella, but is ginger cookies flavoured. THE YUMMIEST THING IN THE WORLD. I'm already trying to figure out how many skirts i'll have to leave here to beable to take as many jars home with me. It's that good.
Also, big news, IPADS are coming this week!! It's crazy! we are hopefully getting them on friday at our wone training!! I'm excited but also, a little bit on the edge, because we all know how much I "loved" facebook before my mission, and now beign able to have it on my mission... I just don't know how I feel about that. But I think those sorts of things are going to come in stages.
Also, soiree talent is in a few weeks, the elders and us sisters are going to sing amazing grace... we practiced on saturday., an ya, I burst out laughing in part of it so I think we are going to need to practice everyday until the 30th to be any good. :)
Also, again, thanks for the letters and emails! I really appreciate it!
Love you all!!!
