We were sick this week. Wah wahhhh. Lame way to start out the email. The week started off super well with a semi-relaxing day wandering the streets of Lyon, but Tuesday morning in the middle of studies my comp randomly got super sick. Thus commences the 3 longest days of eternity...
Okay, okay, that's a bit dramatic, but not really! The mission nurse "grounded" us for 3 days. RDVs cancelled. Calling our Z.Ls so they could bring us apple juice and bread since we were quarentined. Day 2 was the worst, because I started to not feel so good, but then I fingured out I was just going crazy. At one point, we were both lying on the floor, sipping chicken broth, and reading random passages from Jesus The Christ out loud to each other. Classic.
We were very, very, VERY grateful when we could actually go out again. As much as I love studying for hours, the day just goes better when you are thinking about someone other than yourself. Unfortunately, that only gave us 2 days left. But in those days we saw so many miracles!
In one day we had taught three new amis, three others, fiwed lots of rendez-vous, and had RCM. We were running all over the place to make up for our lost time.
Saturday, the entire day was taken up with a genealogy activity with all the missionaries in Lyon. President has asked us to do more activities, and we're focusing on families, so viola, family history. It was so great to work with the other missionaries, and talk to the busy people of Lyon about their families. It's genius, because everyone (should) love their family, and loves talking about them. Offer them free cookies, and viola, you've got a return appointment.
And then suddenly, we were going to church again. Which was good, as usual, especially since afterwards we taught a new ami Natalie, who LOVED what we had to say, and has the cutest little girls I've ever seen, who will one day be sealed for eternity.
Today, we tried to do a little soldes shopping without much luck, since we then had P-day at President's. We ate, played ping pong, played the name game, and President freaked everyone out about transfers (which are next week)...
Also, I rolled my companion down their driveway in a giant hamster ball (of ALL the things to bring from America...). Probably the highlight of the week.
Sorry this is shorter than usual, but half of the week was spent watching Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration over and over so as to not go crazy. But we love the work! And we LOVE Lyon!
Je vous aime.
