Well howdy everybody it’s just another week just flew by here and I cannot believe that March is gone and April, the best month of the year might I add, is just around the corner!!!! As for my week it was really cool so let’s start at the beginning........ Monday so today was not a normal p-day. We did no shopping and no emails or nothing! We woke up and did some studies like we do every morning and then we headed out the door and I Drove to PARIS, can anyone else say they drove to Paris France, hmmmm. It was only a 2 and half hour drive so not that bad. We had to go to Paris to switch out our car for a newer one. We switched out the Chevrolet Cruise, which is a stick, for a French Opel Corsa, which is AUTOMATIC!!!!! It is a nice car. I will send pictures next week of us with our car. We ended up getting back home around 8:30 that night. That was our day. Plus I got to see the Mission Home for the first time and it looks really cool. Tuesday, so we were going to do our normal p-day stuff today but we ended up having District Meeting. Then I had an exchange with my District Leader Elder Mattson, he is super cool. We worked in Le Mans and it was really fun. I got to teach a family they are teaching and it is a really cool family. They asked like tons of questions and the spirit was super strong. Wednesday I finished up my exchange with Elder Mattson and then we headed back to Alencon. When we got back with Elder Bates we went to the church and did emails really quick. Then we did a little bit of shopping, some basics we needed then ate dinner and then did some porting out in Arconnay, a little city just south of us. That was our day nothing big happened, just a lot of people not answering or not interested. Thursday morning we passed out some flyers that they gave to us from the Easter Conference. We go door to door, mailbox to mailbox putting little flyers in their box explaining our message and that we will be passing back in a few days to talk about it. We went to a neighborhood and passed them out, then we got a call from Phillip and he told us that he could not see us this week so we fixed another lesson with him and then did some contacting in the city till about later in the afternoon. Then we did some porting and went to a less active family’s home and had dinner and taught a lesson. It was really fun but felt pretty awkward because we just felt like the family did not know really how to handle us but by the end we were all laughing and talking so that was great. Friday This morning we did flyers in another city, then came home and did some weekly planning. Then we did some contacting and then went porting in a city where we had done the flyers and it went really well. The people read it and they either let us in or said they were not interested. The one's we got let it were really cool, well most of the them some were pretty scary and not sure if they were all in the head but it was a great day full of little miracles. It just goes to show that Heavenly Father works through small and simple ways to bring to pass the big stuff. Saturday We had our Branch Presidency meeting this morning and then we did some contacting afterwards and then ate lunch. Then we did some pass backs and contacting in the afternoon. Then we went porting in another city where we left the flyers and it was the same thing just like the last town. Sunday was church, then after church we did some porting in the town where we left flyers in on Friday for the day. Then we headed home, ate dinner, and then taught Yves with a member and he opened up to us about prayer. So we got to talk to him about prayer it was a really cool lesson and that was my week.
