On Broadway!!

So transfers were this week and I did not get transferred nor did Sister Hathaway, we are staying together! But funny story actaully, the other two sisters who live with us are getting seperated so guess who is coming to replace one of them? Sœur Marshall! S. H's and my old comp from last transfers 3-some! We are all going to be roomies again! Fun fun fun!

So, Lots of news. First of all, I am now a FATHER. Let me explain. In the mission, when you train a Bleue you are a "mother" because you nuture and train up that new bleue for a couple transfers. Well, it is a tradition in the mission that on your first day you get taken out contacting by the older, more experienced missionaries for like 30 minutes. Well, yesterday S. H and I became new fathers! We took the two new sister missionaries contacting. I went with Sister Huzu from New Caladonia who is adorable! She is such a nice girl. I hope I get to serve with her someday. It was fun to be with someone new and see from the other side what we were like as little bleues. They were so scared but eager. Even though both are French speakers it was still nerve racking for them. Sweet little things! Anyway, it was a big milestone for me.

Speaking of Milestones, tomorrow (Oct 16th) is my 9 month mark. I am officially half way done with my mission! Time to really work!I got an email from Sister Didier who met Grandma Selee in the temple and they talked about me. Sister Didier is originally from Belgium I believe so she wanted to write to say hi. It was so fun to write her back in French. I never get the opportunity to write in French! It was cool.

Oh my gosh! I saw my first Broadway musical on Saturday!! I saw "Le Roi Lion" (The Lion King) and it was incredible! The music I already knew well thanks to Sis. H's iPod so I was totally excited to see it and I was NOT let down. It was flawless! Oh, I just can't even tell you. It was incredible! C'est magnifique! If you get the chance to see it In Portland, go! The Elders loved it to! We had to basically drag them there and then they all left totally converted. Now we want to go see "Edward, Mains d'Argent" (Edward Scissor-hands) - the ballet. Fingers crossed!

Last night we had a Burrito Fête with a bunch of less actives and investigators. It was so funny to see chinese people respond to Mexican food. One lady tried to put eggs in the salsa! We pretty much had to steal the bowl from her. And they did not know what to make of the guacamole. It was a hoot!We are having a lot of progress with our investigator Cici from China. She is still searching and unsure about the idea of God but she is trying to understand and that is huge! We are going to the Louvre with her today. Sad news, our ward boundaries were changed on Sunday. All the members living in the 15th District are now in the Antony Ward. And it was so sad because our less active who hasn't come to church since her baptism, came the day they announced it and guess what...Yep. She is in the 15th. She was pretty crestfallen. Poor lady. But we are going to do our best to help her transition well.

Well, those are the bonnes nouvelles for the week. Take care. I love you bunches!
