Another transfer in the promised land

Hi folks

So this is a wild day because we just recieved the répertoire for this month (that's all the information about transfers) and my whole district is changing basically- but don't worry I'm still in Chesnay ~the promised land~

HA funny story...we were sitting in church yesterday and suddenly we got this call from an unknown number and we just spaz out and silence the phone because everybody is just staring at us. We think nothing of it, but a few minutes later a member runs up and says somebody is here for us. So we walk outside and whadayaknow it's somebody we talked to on the street a month ago (love finding

) and they just wanted to see what our church is like. It was like God just plopped them right in our paths, and so we sat with them and explained some of the Come Follow Me program. I don't know what it's like in other missions but for the Paris, France Mission, it was definitely a miracle. Anyway, they were super happy to be there and we set another rendez-vous with them this week.

On another note, I've been reading the book "Saints", and oh my gosh it is such a good book. Not better than the Book of Mormon but it's up there guys. So powerful to read what humble beginnings the church started with and how it's progressed so much in only 200 years. Everything about Joseph Smith's life is proof that God has a plan for our dispensation. If you haven't read it already, I encourage you to read it. I've gained a lot more of an appreciation for the early saints and their sacrifices for us to have the gospel today. As President Sorenson always says "we stand on the shoulders of giants." (One of his favorite phrases HA)

Hope everybody ate some good tacos for Cinco de Mayo!! Have a great week!

Sœur McOmber

I like this one because it looks like France.

My mom kept a giant painting that looked like this on my wall until I was like 13. Reminds me of the good ol days HA. (Note from Danette: she's referring to the painting "Hollyhocks")

It's cool to see the artwork that's not finished because you can see the thought process.

Gardens of Monet. Pretty interesting because the garden he painted is actually in our sector.

Van Gogh's self portrait.

This game is called "How many crêpe rendez-vous can I have before I get diabetes?" HA That's our ami, Grace (turtleneck) with the Muniers (a couple from the Visitor's Center) and we polished a plate of 30 crêpes. Honestly I'm proud
