So another week. What have I done? Hmmmmm... My brain has stopped
working and I can't think of anything. Probably because white washing
is hard and we still have no idea about anything here, and he have a
list of errands that we have to do that just keeps getting bigger, so
kind of not a lot has happened. But, still we've seen some super cool
things. Let me start off with Jean-luc. So basically he is the coolest
person ever, our zone leaders contacted a friend of his and Jean Luc
came to the rdv. He ended up being super interested and came to the
thanksgiving activity we did. He came to church with us the next day
and loved the Amis class lesson on obedience, and it just so happened
that it was the fifth Sunday, so we had a combined relief society
priesthood lesson. Guess what is was on... Becoming spiritually self
reliant. I'm pretty sure he started falling asleep and the whole time
all we could think of was, why today, he probably is hating this and
doesn't even think we are a church because all we are doing is talking
about some weird booklet that the church made to help everyone become
"autonome" but when the lesson finished and we were all going to leave
Jean Luc leans over and says, can I have one of those booklets and he
ended up loving it! So he came again this last week and it just so
happens that he lives in our sector so we get to teach him and he is
so cool. The elders fixed a baptismal date and as we were doing a
lesson we asked about it, and we asked if he had prayed about Joseph
smith and the Book of Mormon, and he said almost like I was stupid for
asking that he had and that was why he was there, he knows it is true.
So cool. So that's awesome and we are super excited.

That's the coolest greatest thing of the week, but also this week we
did some service! It was so fun! So Sister Brown wants videos of all
the missionaries doing a service activity, and so we had planned a
free hot chocolate Christmas thing. And it actually went really well.
The beginning was rough, really really rough. We thought it would be
cute to sing carols and hand out hot chocolate and show people the new
Christmas video, so we all are standing ready, we start singing, and
it was so so so horrible. It was probably the most awkward thing to
happen so far on my mission. Basically no one stopped and we didn't
even finish the song because we all started laughing because it was
just that bad. So we remade the game plan, and started just contacting
people like normal and giving out hot chocolate and that worked really
well, and we were able to talk to a lot of people. And it made us all
happy :) then for a second service thing we did, the recent convert
here, moved to the Czech Republic a week after his confirmation, and
his wife stayed here to continue studying. So since they were both
waaaay to busy to see us getting everything ready, we decided to make
them dinner, we did a lasagna and salad and a little dessert. And then
the sweeney's took us over. But basically that was such a miracle too
because we could not get a hold of yilbert all day, neither could the
sweeney's and so we just went hoping he would be there with his wife
who we haven't met yet, and while we were stopped at a red light Soeur
Sweeney looks over and says, look, it's yilbert! He was on a bike
stopped right next to the car! So we pulled over were able to talk and
he said he was going to pick up his wife from school and then would
meet us at their house. So we were able to see them, his wife is so
cute and she told us how sad she was he was leaving and she said when
she finishes exams she will have us over :) so that was great.
