Dumb thing I did this week: I was having a lot of trouble with allergies. No idea what to, but it was getting really bad. So I called the mission president's wife, and she was like, "have you tried allergy meds ?" ... duh. But the happy news is that they've worked, so I'm no longer sneezing and itching and blowing my nose all the time. Thank goodness for modern medicine ! The only problem is that one of the side effects of the medicine is that it makes me more drowsy in the morning... and for those of you that have ever seen me first thing in the morning, you know that's one step up from dead. So that's been an extra challenge, but hey, it's worth being able to breathe and think ! I like those things.
We've continued helping teach the temple prep lessons to one of our returning members, and honestly, it's such a privilege. We get to discuss the most incredible, sacred place ever once a week, with this wonderful French woman who loves learning about Christ so much ! I love seeing how happy we all feel after the lessons, because our love for the temple and desire to learn just really brings the spirit. I'm so grateful for those rendez-vous !
We went to a nearby little town called Poisy ! There was a beautiful cathedral, some stunning views that look like where they filmed The Sound of Music. It was so ridiculously pretty. We met a less active member (who has 20 cats... cue allergies), and were able to have a fun conversation with him, so that was cool ! We'll try to set up something with him again soon. There was also a boulangerie with an incredible baguette panini with 3 types of cheese, and then a dessert that involved vanilla mousse, apples, caramel, and something that tasted like shortcake ? I would DEFINITELY recommend it. So overall, Poisy was a very good experience.
We're also continuing to help out in the primary every Sunday (my companion plays the piano for them while I help them with the melodies), which is honestly the most entertaining thing ever. Though the kids are starting to get used to me, so they talk with this adorable kid-french, and it's kind of the best.
We made turtle bread ! It is just normal bread, but you put it in the shape of a turtle. And then we wrapped it up in aluminum foil to give to some members, but we had to leave his head uncovered, so he looked like a little space turtle. So cute !
Anyways, I know God loves us. I know He has a plan, and that His plan allows for all of our imperfections, and still provides a path home for every single person that chooses to take it. Choose to take it !
Love y'all tons !
