Allô tout le monde!
So we're on a train right now about to go to the Louvre for the second time this week (some building, I don't know) and I'm typing this letter real quick as always, but lemme tell you all about my week!
Every day for breakfast this week I ate these things called Gaufres de Liège which is Belgium waffles with chocolate. They're pretty famous amongst the missionaries here because they are super good and super cheap because Belgium is right next to us. But yeah at pretty much all times of day I have a Gaufres de Liège on my person. So yeah I just wanted to testify of Belgium chocolate and how amazing it is.
Moving on to gospelly things, let me talk about some amis! So scratch my last letter, apparently I can use first names which is great so then ya'll can keep track. But we have these amis, Grace and Maïwenn, mother and daughter and they are super humble and sweet. We've had a few lessons and decided to invite them to be baptized last week, at the crêpe party. But yesterday, we actually set the date! And they came to our Veillé so they got to hear me play piano too (I play a lot of musical numbers here, not many people play). It's been really cool that even when I can't speak perfect French, I can still share my testimony through music here.
Also, I love the full days I have in the temple so much. I have met some really cool French people, but I also feel like I meet so many incredible moms that help strengthen MY testimony. A lot of the time, dads take the older kids to do a session and moms come and bring their kids to the Center. So we met this incredible American mom who moved with all of her family to Switzerland because her husband was in the army. She was crying to us about how hard it is to be strong when your kids are crying because they have no friends because there's no members in the area. And honestly, I don't know how any moms do it- even when they're not in a foreign country! But I discussed with her how, even if we don't see the result of our actions, we always have an influence on the people around us. I know this because my mom was always an incredible light in my own family, even though she didn't always get to see the influence she had. Christ teaches us that even when we may not see how our works affects others, we may be bringing others to Christ without even knowing it.
3 Nephi 12:15 - "Behold, do men light a candle and put it under a bushel? Nay, but on a candlestick, and it giveth light to all that are in the house;"
16 - "Therefore let your light so shine before this people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven."
All of us have the capability of being this light to others, not just moms 
so this week I invite all of you to share your light with others so that they can come to Christ- in whatever way you do best.
They have these cute little flower shops all over Paris and sometimes we buy flowers and bring them to our amis
This is a LEGO missionary. I know. It's amazing. Attention everyone, legos.com is selling lego missionaries and everybody needs to go purchase these immediately.
First time at The Louvre and I was definitely not disappointed. Once you get over all the naked people and learn the stories behind all the paintings it's actually super interesting. I am an ~art enthusiast~ now.
I'm not ~quite~ sure why this is so famous HA But it's pretty iconic so I feel this is what the people want to see. So I present to you, the woman herself.

More pics coming, don't you worry 
Look at this cutie!! You're not truly in Paris until somebody starts playing an accordion so I was so happy when I heard this guy playing. It's illegal for missionaries to give people money but I gave him some pistachios and honestly he seemed pretty grateful.
à nouveau au Louvre
Bonne semaine mes amis! J'espère vous allez partager votre lumière avec tout le monde! Je vous aime!
