Pranked!!!

Mes chers amis, bienvenue 

       This week, we were walking through Chatou yelling bonjour at everything that moved (normal day) and we saw this one man carrying groceries. We said bonjour and continued walking because we were late for a rendez-vous. Then all of a sudden I turned to my colleague like, "He speaks Portuguese, we need to talk to him." And Sœur Ribeiro (speaks Portuguese) was like, "How do you know?" And I thought for a second like yeah...how do I know that? But then the man brought his whole family into the same building and my companion started speaking Portuguese with them!! We had to leave and were disappointed because we didn't have time to talk. But! We came back the next day and the first door we knocked on was them, and we have a rendez-vous with them next week! Turns out they're from Portugal! There's no way that we could have met them without being guided, the Spirit is real, I so testify.

       We also had a temple tour this week with a man named Prince from Nigeria. I loved it because it reminded me of all the amazing Nigerians we taught in Metz - such humble people. We were walking around the temple with the elders and he kept pointing to trees like, "I like these flowers." Sœur Ribeiro starts testifying and mid-sentence Prince points to the Tree of Life like, "THAT is my favorite flower." HA priceless. After showing the temple, we taught him about the kingdoms of glory and after every kingdom he was like, "Yes! That's where the people burn!!!" And we're like, "No Prince, God loves his children" and he's like, "but the Jehovahs..." and Elder Patrick was like "that is false doctrine." But everything we said, he tried to understand and he was just so happy to be there. I truly love being at the temple - we meet so many amazing people.

 

       We also continue to teach many people on Facebook from Burundi and hope they will be prepared for the next African pentecost so that's super exciting. 

J'espère que tout le monde a passé une bonne semaine, gros bisous!

Our district was talking in a council about pranks and a senior missionary in our district, Sœur Harmon said "I think the best pranks are nice pranks. Like leaving chocolate on somebody's pillow!" HA and it was just so cute that we decided to start doing Sister Harmon's version of a prank. So my companion pranked me and bought me this crêpe

Monet's Water Lilies! This is at L'Orangerie, but I had the chance to see the real gardens at Monet's house in the beginning of my mission. I love the impressionist paintings; if you look closely it's just big blobs of paint but from far away you understand the whole scene. Musée D'Orsay has a lot of Monet's work as well (I'm an art connoisseur now)
