Moving day! Mais pas pour moi😉. Pics!

Bonjour les gens!

Allors, this week I felt like I'm actually maybe getting the hang of the missionary thing. The past few weeks have been crazy and it still is crazy, but I'm not a deer in the headlights all the time anymore. Woah...but btw it turns out missions are hard who would've thought HA. No but people keep asking me for pics of the Eiffel Tower and if I'm doing sight seeing, and this is the furthest from a vacation I have ever been lol. It's definitely beautiful but even on our p-days we do a lot of service. Just a reminder for me I guess that even though we're all over the world, we're all doing the same things. Missionaries work hard man.

So this week we did hecka finding and the sisters are so funny about it. I'm always SO EXCITED for finding and they just look at each other like "such a blue" which is what they call the new missionaries. But three weeks in, and it is still my favorite thing. The sketchier the place, the more of a goldmine it is. So we go to some pretty scary places. But we just approach strangers and tell them about the Plan of Salvation, or at least that's ~my~ favorite thing to talk about, and even if they're not interested they always take our lil pamphlets. I love love love talking about The Plan of Salvation because it's so cool that God loves us enough to make this plan where we can be with our families and our friends again. Anyway I could talk about that forever BUT...

Also, THE President Sorenson is in our ward (he's our best friend) and so we've been at his house a few times this week, and his wife sets up rendezvous with some of her friends (she's a referral master, like that woman is so hardworking) and it's been so cool to work with her. She's such a boss and she has these lessons all planned like I feel like she's teaching me. But anyway, me and the comp were at her house and after the rendezvous she fed us pasta. But not just any pasta...mushroom pasta (the only thing I don't like, mushrooms) and I kid you not this plate was entirely mushrooms with some noodles for decoration. And I was so afraid, the moment she turned I gave my companion some of my schrooms. And when we walked out, my companion was laughing so hard - turns out she doesn't like mushrooms either and she had to eat about 50 that day whoops.

Okay so one more announcement, online teaching is pretty much the best and here's why. I have taught people from all over the world that could never hear the gospel in any other way except online. The work we are doing in these Centers is so valuable to God's Plan and I never really realized until I got here. Yesterday, India became available to us online (along with several other countries. Before, we couldn't talk to them because in their country it would be unsafe for them) but I guess our church's relationship with other countries is getting better? I don't know the science behind it but all I know is it's a blessing. Literally the day India became available, I got a chat from India and it was a guy begging for us to teach him. He said he's read the Book of Mormon and that the nearest church/missionaries are 1400 miles away! There's absolutely no way this guy could hear the gospel except online. The down side of people like this is, of course, they can't be baptized. But we know that everybody gets a chance. If not in this life, then the next. So we're going to teach him more this week, and probably a lot more people from other countries. This is the fulfilling of prophecy. One day the church is going to reach all corners of the world and I'm excited to be part of it.

Praying for ya'll, hope everybody had a good week! A plus!

Sœur McOmber

Transfer schedules came out today and Sœur Tulieva is leaving. She's going to Colmar which is right next to Switzerland. I'm a little sad that her outbound came so soon, but the people there need good missionaries like her.
