Ooops...forgot to post last week :o}

Today we decided to take our proselyting time earlier so we could have the rest of the day to prepare/play! We plan to go to the Palais de Louvre and pick up some fun French scarves as the temp is dropping and let's face it we want to look as chic as possible in beautiful Paris.

Soon, we have exchanges; Sister Fabiano and Sister Giblette are going to come here, to Paris. Then I will be with Sis. G (we rock/paper/scissored to decide who goes with who since we have both already served with Sis. Fabs). I think I actually won because I get to have a whole new experience with a brand new sister missionary who I don't know well personally, lucky me! I am super stoked because they come tomorrow morning! And then the fun begins!

This morning we taught Sylvie and talked about some of her concerns. She said she feels nothing when she reads the BoM. She said she felt that faith and prayer were more important than reading. I told her that it is by studying the scriptures that we enhance our faith. I don't think she understands that it is a commandment to read the words of the prophets. But by the end I felt like we got through to her.We also have a new investigator, Chantale. She is very French, very stylish woman in her fifties. She is deeply catholic, very energetic, and loves talking about her faith. We gave her first the lesson which went incredible. She is one of those who just reasons for herself. I have hope that in a few lessons she will come around. And in addition she accepted to come with us to Conference!! She is a keeper!

It was really fun to see Jocelyn after having seen no one from home in 9 months! She was very sweet to say that I speak perfect French although that is just not the case. Actaully, I have been sick for the last 5 or 6 days, I feel fine now, but on Sunday I wasn't sure if I would even be able to talk. Luckily I was able to speak, I read a talk by El. Arnold of the 70's entitled "Strengthen thy Brethern" that we had shared with Bishop and Sister Arnould that week. He called me the Friday night before and invited me to speak. I was just grateful for the opportunity to speak to the members (and it was my first French sacrament talk)!

I love you a lot! I miss you!
