Hello tout le monde!!
And that's the first English I've spoken since Mother's Day HA sooooo last week I received a call. Me and my comp Sœur Montalvo were starting off the transfer in Le Chesnay, then in the middle of district council President calls and wants to speak to us ~alone~. So we go into the other room and he says "Sometimes...in life...we make plans. And sometimes...those plans..change." So here's the surprise I'm actually leaving Le Chesnay and moving to St. Ouen!
I'm so sad to leave Chesnay because I loved my amis so much but also at the St. Ouen ward on Sunday 5 members gave us referrals and I have like 30 pain au chocolats in my fridge from our DMP so I think I'm gonna like this place. Also my new companion is Sœur Ilizarbe and she is one of the most amazing people I have ever met - so service oriented. I've been super sick this whole week which on a mission means ~15 minutes of extra sleep~ HA, but she's been taking good care of me. She's from Peru and moved to Montreal so we speak only French but we have a lot of Spanish speaking amis so she's teaching me a little Spanish. Soy una misionera. That's what I have so far.
So another big change for me is I'm living with 1 person now instead of 3 and that's been super different. Sometimes it feels really empty after 6 months of living with lots of people (and also my whole life living with my family) but I've gained an even greater appreciation of the power of music. Since my mom first taught me to play piano, I've always played spiritual music more than anything else. For me, music is how I feel the Spirit the most. One thing I love about my companion is we always sing before every lesson and every companionship study. She's actually tone-deaf (like diagnosed tone-deaf, it's okay she knows it) and she still sings with her whole heart and it brings the Spirit into every lesson. I know music comes from God and I invite you all to find music that helps you remember the Savior this week. Some you may or may not have heard:
- Savior Redeemer of my Soul - Dallyn Vail Bayles and Jenny Oaks Baker
- Far Away - The National Parks
- "Joyful" - (Where Can I Turn For Peace?) Bishop Gérald Caussé and Nicolas Giusti
- I Am Here - Bonner Family
~I invite you~
Love you all!! Have a good week!
Sœur McOmber
