Petites Goûters

Bonjour mes petites goûters! ("Little snacks", lol somebody called me that at church and now my comps all call each other that HA) 

Okay lemme give ya'll some of the highlights from this week.  

        

Today was transfer day and I'm super happy because I'm staying in Le Chesnay. We have several amis on date for baptism, so it's going to be a good transfer. One of our favorite tricks to get people at church is to bring them cookies on glass plates so that they have to come to church to give the plate back HA! But no, we have amazing amis..I literally adore them. 

On another note, we are running out of places to put honey. There's this lady on our floor that loves giving us honey. To be honest, I don't really know who she is but we keep walking home and finding bags and bags of honey on our doors HA. Last night, she stopped by and gave us this little chocolate box and we were so excited because we've been living off hard boiled eggs and bread. We open it, no. It's more honey in a chocolate box. Looks like we're living off hard-boiled eggs and honey for the rest of this month HA. She's so sweet though and honestly the honey is pretty high quality.

We've had a few member dinners this week and one of our favorite videos to share is the bible video "Parable of the Good Samaritan." And it's been really cool to hear people's insights on how it applies to their lives. If you haven't seen it, I encourage you to watch it. En bref, the moral of the video is that our differences don't matter, we can always find small ways to serve others. It most likely won't be as obvious as a dying man on the side of the road, but there are always people around us who are struggling. This week I've been trying to find ways to serve others, especially those who are different than me. I know that those small acts of service don't just help others, but they help me understand the unconditional love the Savior has for all of his children. I encourage all of you to find those around you who need some extra help this week. I know that through those small acts of service, we can come closer to our Savior and feel his love for those around us. 

Til next time, au revoir! Passez une bonne semaine!

I took a wrong turn on the way to church and once you do that you can never go back. No such thing as u-turns. So here's the French freeway we were on for 20 minutes HA 

Prophecy night. We have a special formula that takes us to a random scripture to predict how our transfer will go. Not a fan because mine said I will be overcome with sorrow and tribulation HA *cries internally* 

This is a cool castle we found in Versailles.

Regardez! This goose is so close to me. I wanted to pet it but geese are aggressive apparently so I just took pictures of it ha!

Me trying to befriend animals and them not liking me.

**NOTE from Danette:

It's been super fun to get texts from people I don't know, who are visiting the Paris Temple Visitors Center, and send me pictures of Morgan! 💕Such sweet mamas who know how much that means to another mama heart. They tell me Morgan is so extremely happy and loving her mission...which we have confirmed each week when we get to talk to her! She loves the work...she loves sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ...she loves the Temple...and she loves the people of Paris!

Here are some pics I got texted to me this week from different families from the USA (some right here from Gilbert) visiting the Paris Temple Visitors Center...
