A day at the catacombs...


Dear Mom, Dad, family and friends,

 Today is what we call Paris P-Day, and that means that all the missionaries in the outer Paris areas (Versailles, Aulnay, évry...) can come into Paris and see the sights. So everyone gets together and has lunch and sees the sights. I went with all the sister missionaries to the Catacombs! It was so cool! There are stacks and stacks of bones of over 6 million dead that they dug up and replaced in this underground tunnel. A lot of them died during the revolution and after. I saw skulls with obvious bullet wholes in them and there were ephitaphs and quotes about death and the certainty of death. It was very Edgar Allen Poe. We went with an investigator too so it counts as proselyting time!

Last weekend we had Zone Conferences.  Elder Kopivcke came and spoke. He was amazing! He instructed us to see our investigators more frequently and with shorter visits. He also talked about the need for better planning and told us to use a calendar for each investigator highlighting what we want to teach and what they should read, etc. I'm doing exchanges with the Troyes sisters (Sis Fabiano!) in a couple of weeks! Sylvie is progressing really well. We are seeing her now 3 times a week and she is coming to a baptism on Saturday. We have interviews on Friday with President Staheli. 

I love you very much!

I found these pictures online...is it just me, or does the idea of a bunch of sister missionaries spending their p-day in these catacombs seem a tad surprising??  It's definitely an experience!!
