Blois France - Work Continues

Bonjour à tous,

Bonjour tout le monde! J'ai passé une bonne semaine! Il était très chargé, mais bon. I thought I could give you guys some French.

But boy was it a week. We had zone conference on Tuesday, but we couldn't find any trains that day so we had to go Monday night and stay in another apartment for the night. The next morning we had zone conference. After that we tried to get our train, but the subway line didn't go to our train station to head home. We tried several different lines to get there but they were all closed down due to protesting (there is a lot of that in France right now ...it makes travelling really frustrating). We tried to find out what to do but found out that there was no way to get there and take a train home. So we decided to call the missionaries in Paris to find a place to stay for the night and after calling a million people and no one answering, we found out that there was a baptism with the Elders we stayed the night with already. So we went to the baptism of their ami. That was cool. The next morning we went home. On the way back home, a guy stopped us in Blois and told us that he was there for a rendez-vous with us that we had forgotten. So we had an impromptu lesson which went okay. Then we had a guy come and turn back on our gas. And then we had all of our rendez vous crammed into 4 days. So yeah, crazy week.

And this week we have a ton to do. I have to go to Paris for legal paperwork, we discovered that last week that the office was closed. So yeah.

We taught one of our contacts this week. He is doing really good right now and told us that he is really on the fence about joining our church but he has seen so many good things. He has really been seeing a change of heart and has found somewhat of a home in the Church. Which is really awesome.

Right now we are in Le Mans for district meeting and P-day. We found an escape room here and went today. It was zombie themed and awesome. We didn't make it out but we were really close. We were just at the end when time ran out. But it was so much fun and quite the adventure. 

Well I am at FHE right now and I better get back to being a missionary. Here are some pictures though!

Sincerely
