Salut!
I feel like my last p-day was forever ago so we took a much needed nap for pretty much the whole day today HA...that's pretty unusual for me. I go hard on p-days. But it's okay - we contacted like 10 Nigerians when we went to a boulangerie, so it's been productive.
Hmmm who do I want to talk about this week...yesterday our ami Stephan came to church!!! We have many amis that come, but they usually are not found through door finding. Stephan, from Brazil, is an absolute miracle. We found him while batting a huge building and he wasn't even the one who answered. We were talkin' to somebody and he just poked his head out the door like "yo can I have that book" (The Book of Mormon) and he read all the testimonies of the witnesses and introduction before our first rendez-vous! Yesterday at church, we were in the lesson with the young adults and he was like "I just want to testify that God always reveals his gospel through prophets. That's why Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus Christ." Me and my companion were just smiling at each other like yesss we taught him well. This is what it feels like to be a proud mother.
Anyway, I still love being a missionary. Still love Metz. Love the gospel. I know Jesus lives and God is good.
Have a great week!!!

This is our ami Jonathan (see video below). Sometimes we teach him over the phone and his lessons are definitely a highlight of my week HA "the insects are not sharing the rent with me!!" He's getting baptized this month and he's so excited he invited all his Nigerian friends.
This is Elizabeth!! She makes us tarts every time we visit it's so pure 
Mikayla!!!! She's a member in Metz (and our bestest friend) but she's leaving us to go back to America 
Samedi sports will never be the same.
Members of the Metz ward. Ornella, far right, is the funniest Italian ever. Justine (with the bangs) is so cute she always speaks cute English with us and helps us teach Nigerian men. Léo (blue shirt) HA he invites us over every monday and plays cards with us and feeds us. He always says "what happens in Vegas stays in my house." His kids are like "n'importe quoi dit pa" (dad is crazy) Then he blasts that American song "Celebrate good times cmon" (I don't know the name) on repeat as he drives us home HA

It is so wonderful sharing your enthusiasm and joy as you teach and learn with the Saints and Amis in France. France is so blessed with a wonderful spirit that is already to be harvested. Our family's prayers are with you and your companions in this sacred work.
