Bonjour everyone!!!

So...this week has been great! We have taught a lot and we have been busy!

This week we had Zone Conference which was amazing. They are always so great and it isn't because they gave us Subway, haha. They gave us a new way to do contacting through the Easter holiday which is called, "Easter Contacting!"  It seems really cool! We go up to people and testify about Jesus Christ and that he is risen!

Also this week we did some exchanges here in Chartres. That was really fun. We got to teach a lot of our investigators with other missionaries from Saint Ouen. Funny story...During on of our lessons I accidentally said Tutoi-ed one of our investigators Vouvoi is formal and tutoi is the informal. We are only supposed to use vouvoi. I have no idea how or why I accidentally tutoi-ed our investigator.  The missionaries from St. Ouen came to our lesson too. When I said that, all of the missionaries looked at me with a face like, "What have you done?" haha. But don't worry, the lesson went great and we all had a good laugh over it. Never going to happen again though.

Another thing that happened this week was that my comp had to do his 2nd year Legality. When you start you have 1 year when you are totally legal in the country. After the year you have to do more stuff so you can be legal for another year so that took all day long! It was fun though. We had two random people contact us and asked about our church. We gave them the number of the missionaries where they lived so hopefully those missionaries see some great miracles! That same day I slept with my contacts in too..so when we went to another lesson that night, I looked like I was on drugs and that I was crying. haha. They even asked me that too.

But overall this week has been amazing just like every week! You always have to look for the good in every situation and laugh and smile about the other things. Have a great week everyone! I love you all!

à bientôt! :)
