Bonjour tout la monde! I hope you have all had a wonderful week! This week has been great and we are finally all settled into our new apartment! We got our new roommates and they are super cute! We are excited to be living in a four man, and one of the sisters is a new bleu so it's a lot of fun:) It was sad to leave our Saléve ward last Sunday, we are close with lots of the members. Annemasse, however is super stoked that we are staying; we are too because we have the best ward ever! This week turned from the heat of summer to rain storms everyday! One day as me and Sœur smith were walking back from a lesson and all of a sudden it starts pouring rain! Ha it had been sunny in the morning, so neither of us brought our umbrellas and we ended up soaking wet! We definitely felt like missionaries, ha it's a great thing that we both love the rain! One of the miracles that we had this week was that one of our less actives got re-actived! Her name is Sœur Mouzo and we had passed her a few times last transfer. Each time we had talked she told us that she just didn't have time right now to come to church. Then one week she just came to church by herself, and now she has come for the past three weeks! The last lesson we had with her we talked about temples, and know she is preparing to go to the temple! She is actually going with the ward on Saturday to walk around the grounds. It's incredible to see how she has changed with the spirit, in three weeks she changed from wanting nothing to do with the church to begin fully activated!! Miracles are so real people! The other miracle I have been thinking a lot about this week is le don des langues, or gift of tongues. I really noticed it this week as we were teaching Francois. For me le don des langues isn't that I can suddenly speak amazing French, or I understand what everyone is saying. Le don des langues for me is that when I am teaching and testifying, I can see that my ami understands what I am saying and that they feel the spirit. My French still has so many problems and I have a lot I need to learn, but through Heavenly Father my investigators understand and more importantly understand and feel the Spirit! I have had a lot of days where I get frustrated and I am frustrated that I am not understanding more, but I have learned that the gift of this language comes slowly because I have to put my trust in Heavenly Father! I promise you that little miracles happen everyday! My frenchie challenge for you this week is to notice those little miracles in your life everyday and thank your Heavenly Father!! J'taime beacoup! Sœur Soffe Funnies of this week: I almost got stuck on an elevator by myself, and it was terrifying. Ha Sr. Smith finds my fear of elevators pretty funny:) She is nice though and usually we take the stairs! A member sent the two of us to the store to buy her wine to cook risotto, oh la la France!
