We're about to head off to the French Toast Party for the Temple Sœurs later today but I have a lot to say so buckle up kids.
Alright so this week was an adventure to say the least. Starting off, last p-day we were riding the metro and some guy was eyeing me and my companion a little bit. So naturally, we pulled our bags a little closer and tried to walk to the other side. The next stop was ours, so we get off and this man literally sprints after us. I almost had a heart attack I was so afraid until he said "you are missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ, right?? I noticed your plaques and I have had questions for you for a long time. I lost my brother a while ago and I know your church believes you can live with your families again. Can you please teach me more about that?" It was so genuine and honestly just warmed my heart because that doctrine was a big part of the reason I'm on a mission right now. The miracles of St. Ouen, n'est-ce pas?
Also last p-day Sœur Lizarbe, had me so hyped up for a "Mexican restaurant." I hadn't had Mexican in months so I was honestly super stoked. The whole week she was like, "you have to try this restaurant, I don't remember the name, but it's the best Mexican food you'll ever have." We get there...and it's Chipotle. HA I was laughing so hard. If my dad has taught me anything, it's not ~true~ Mexican unless there's corn tortillas and habaneros. 
But it was still good HA I appreciate a good Chipotle every once in a while.
Another fun thing (plug your ears mom lol), we went to the ghettos of our sector for a mangez-vous (member dinner) and I feared for my life that day. Unfortunately, when we were looking for a parking spot, the closest we could get was about a kilometer away. So there we were, speed walking through gangs and sidestepping blood stains on the sidewalk trying not to look like tourists. When we got out of the rendez-vous, one of the members yelled across the street "OKAY AU REVOIR LA PETITE AMÉRICAINE!!" HA Pretty much the last thing you want in St. Denis, is people to know you're not from there. So basically every gang on the street turned to look at us. Might be an overreaction, but we speed walked to the car and locked the doors so quick- all while Sœur Lizarbe had her umbrella ready to use as a weapon. HA so that's a day in my sector.
Okay I have more but you'll have to wait til next week because the French Toast is calling my name HA
Je vous aime infiniment! Au revoir!
Sœur McOmber
This is Camila!! She's an ami that a member brought to church and she is the cutest thing ever. We planned a rendez-vous and Monday morning she's like "OK so 10:00 we're going to a park, and 11:00 we can go to a Greek Restaurant (she's from Greece) and 1:00 we can go to a cemetery and talk about Jesus!" HA she planned a whole itinerary for us...I love her.
We went to this cute little pizza place because the Greek place was closed. Could be because I haven't had pizza in months but I think it was the best pizza I've ever had.
Planes!!! There was a space section too but to be honest I didn't understand anything. This is pretty much how it went:
Me: *looks at space contraption* You know what this is?
Sœur Lizarbe: no idea
Me: *looks at complicated caption about rocket science written in French* okay moving on.
