Episode 33: The Jeweler's Hands

Bonjour tout le monde ! This week was suuuper fast, but it was a great week! Didn't get sick this time, which is always a plus. We had an amazing visit with an inactive member this week.  The work in our sector has been suuuuper slow going, so this visit really boosted our morale. We went over with the Winters and one of our members, and shared cookies with the inactive member and her family. It was just a really great, friendly visit that reminded me how awesome the work is :^) On Saturday we were at the house of one of the missionary couples in our district, and the wife (Sœur Winter) takes my comps necklace and starts cleaning the chain with a rag. She pulls too hard though, and the chain breaks in three pieces. My comp looks thoroughly distressed as the chain for her favourite necklace is broken, so I quickly say something like "don't worry Sœur, I'm a master chain fixer", knowing full well I've never fixed a chain in my life. Anyways, soon I've got tw...

Another triplet email. Sorry mom. I've got no excuse really.. Anyways iaoranaaa tout le monde ! I hope youve all been doing great :^) Here's a quick and very sporadic recap of my last 3 weeks: These past couple weeks I've been doing this really weird thing where I bust out in a (terrible, probably the worst) Scottish accent for a few minutes and just kinda say whatever. It's pretty entertaining until I slowly but surely turn American again, and then I just sound ridiculous. Not that I don't sound ridiculous while I do the accent, but you get it. I learned that one of my friends from home just got called to this mission!! I'm so excited for her to come -- she'll probably be flying in around the beginning of November, and I'll have just passed my 13 month mark. I secretly wanna train her.. but don't tell Prez. I don't wanna jinx it.  Last monday, I woke up feeling kinda bad. But, we go on with our day, driving out to a BBQ at the opposite end of th...

Hello hello my lovely friends and family ! I hope you're all doing great :^)) Here's a rundown of some of my favourite moments of the last 3 weeks. EPISODE 27: TRAMP STAMPS & TUNES Lets start with my favourite quote of the week, from our district leader to his comp, over our nightly contact:  "I'm not getting a tramp stamp, elder." Voilà. Hahah but yeah anyways this one was good! We had a whopping 4 lessons this week instead of 1. That sounds sarcastic, but I'm honestly pretty stoked about it :') Usually half of our day is spent getting catcalled, and then the other half is spent getting cancelled on. So whenever we can squeeze a lesson into that busy schedule I get pretty excited. One shining aspect of this sector is my companion. Sœur Erickson and I get along too well. The only other person from eastern Washington in the mission, and we enjoy all the same things. One love we share is music -- we chat music constantly. Since we can't listen to the...
