This week was pretty hard missionary work wise. we didn't have any
lessons or find new investigators but it will come!
Tuesday we spent the day doing service for our Branch President. We
helped him place boards for a ceiling that he is working on and also cut up
fire wood. That evening we went over to a less active family's house for dinner.
We had some crazy good potato thing with a whole bunch of different French
cheeses! It was so good!
Wednesday we had an exchange with the Elders of Troyes. We ended up
having to take a bus through the countryside to get there. French countryside
is beautiful but it is all cultivated and used. A little different than the
open fields of America. Once we got there I found out that Elder Wooton and I were
in charge of cleaning up the old apartment getting it ready to sale. Missionary
apartments are disgusting... Luckily so far I have been in new apartments so I haven't
had to really deal with the nastiness that comes from an apartment that has
been used by missionaries for years. Although the one we are in right now
has roaches so all of our food is in tupperware containers.
Thursday was thanksgiving! We had a zone thanksgiving dinner in Paris
and so we spent the day eating and playing ping-pong. Every church here has a
ping-pong table??? I don't know why they just do. We missed our train to go
back to Auxerre because of a problem with the metro so we didn't get back to Auxerre
till late that night.
saturday was our branches thanksgiving activity. The branch here
really went all out for us. they had a so much food prepared it was awesome.
Elder tryon and i were incharge of the desert so we made some dutch apple pir
from scratch!! The branch loved it and wanted the recipe( we just found it
online).
SO yeah that was my week. This is the last week of the transfer and
odds are that I will be getting a new comp.
Hope you have a good week
Love
Tyler
