I hope you have all had a wonderful week, its been so wonderful here in Lyon and I am loving it so much!
Monday we had a fun p-day of soldes shopping, and then our rendez-vous tombez'd so we did some very cold contacting.
Tuesday we had our first exchange and it was so much fun! I was on exchange with Soeur Tupua'ata, she is from California and has been out about a year and is now serving in Chalon. She is so sweet and funny and we had so much during our very busy day. We had a really great lesson with one of our amis Jacqueline, who told us about how she has been reading in the BOM and read about Lehi's vision and she loved it! She is awesome, and that is one of the best things when your ami's love the book of Mormon:) hen after a few passes we went to a really sweet JA (young adult's) for a 15 minute and she was awesome. I made my burritos for dinner that night, and it was a success! (Don't no hands were cut open this time thanks to a nifty avocado slicer, thanks dad;) )
Wednesday we sent of the Chalon sœurs and then headed to a lesson with one of our members neighbors, but when we got their she told us that our ami didn't want to have lessons our anything to do with the church anymore:( sad but everyone has got their own timing. Then we had a fun 15 min with our DMP and his wife, they are the cutest old couple and are so stoked about missionary work. Then we headed over to the office to watch the missionary broadcast, a lot of changes but I am stoked about them! Then all of the STL's came and slept in our apartment (because our apartment is literally lined with bunk beds
there is 17 beds in all!) it was super fun though and I got to see some of my favorite people, including soeur smith! I love her!
Thursday was MLC and it was really really good. We talked about the new changes for the missionary and things we can be doing better. Also we can now take metros, which is super exciting!! What I am really excited about is with these new key indicators we can really just focus on people and not on numbers. Now we have more liberty to really follow the spirit and focus on what our real purpose is. We are here to bring people to Christ, yes through baptism and going to the temple, but we are here to help people return home to our heavenly father! We have the path that will take us home and bring us joy, and it is our role to share that with as many people as we can:)
Friday we had some passes and lessons and then that night we went to the Rigby's (a senior couples apartment) to celebrate Chinese new year! There are a few recent converts here who are Chinese, and just might be my favorite members in the ward! It was them and a lot of missionaries and they taught us how to make dumplings, and we really all just had a lot of fun:)
Saturday night we headed out to Vienne to see a family that we are teaching, I have been dying to meet them and they are so awesome. It's hard to catch them all together because of their work schedules, but we did and we had a really awesome lesson. They are from the Dominican Republic, and have two cute little kids. They have so much love in their family and have such strong faith! Sunday was great as always, and ended with a fun dinner at the Rigbys!
I love you all so much and hope you had a wonderful week!!
