"Why U Have First Same Name?"

Wow this week... Lots of of items checked off my bucket list. Started teaching a man from Madagascar named Dieudonné. Direct translation: "God given". He was a miracle when we found him; we stopped him on the street after two hours of being rejected. God gave us this new investigator, truly. Also, we played a heated match of soccer at a church activity against our ward mission leader, our second counselor in the branch presidency, and this Afganistani guy that we invited two weeks ago to our English class. I know all the secrets of how to play like a European/Asian now, so watch out. The Afghan texted us after and was asking us really funny questions in broken English.  

Unfortunately, we will not be having a baptism this transfer, given that we get our transfer calls in five days and our investigators have dropped us like flies because of smoking problems or laziness about coming to church. And that's okay. I've learned so much this transfer and have gotten the hang of working with a tiny branch. There are some incredible members here and I can't wait to work more with them.

Sœur Green

Spent some time with this beautiful family on Saturday in a city that's far away.
They waited until the train rolled away to go back to their car.
I love these people like family. :)

As close as I'll get to Iceland for now.

Haha....yeah....only when I'm a missionary does this happen....

Sœur Caldwell hit her year mark!! We celebrated with sticky ice cream in a frozen lemon,
using plastic spoons we asked for at a bakery, by a canal. It was quite glamorous.

Excuse my demented expression. This was when we visited a less-active member and surprised her with some pastries. She announced this week that she started her plan to stop smoking! She will be completely done in six months!!! She is another member of my Montauban family :)

We trained a couple young adults how to use Preach My Gospel for a FHE activity and they taught us a beautiful lesson on how to recognize the Spirit. Sœur Green gave herself a short haircut and got a nice tan.

I was going through Sœur Caldwell's camera and found a series of photos of me taking pictures of roadkill.
I have changed a lot on my mission, but I'm still the same person...

My favorite picture of the week:  drawn by the little girl that you see in the first picture.
She taught us how to walk like gymnasts. :)
