Life in Paris is always 1000 MPH

Bonjour! 

Christmas in Paris

This past week was stellar. Life in Paris is always 1000mph. We had so much to do this past week and this upcoming week it is nothing short of incredible. It's like having finals week, every week. I'm so happy I have this opportunity to go hard everyday for God. 

This past week we had a lot of administrative work to do. On Tuesday we spent a really good portion of the day creating an iPad and tablet Rubric for the mission. President wants there to be a document with all the rules for each application on it. So guess who he gives that duty to? That's right... your very own Paris elders. Haha. In reality it was actually a lot of fun.

 Thursday, Elder Pande and I had to throw on our soccer mom hats again and organize a big activity for all the new missionaries that was going to happen the next day. Basically all the missionaries who came into the country during the last transfer have to go to a doctor in Paris for legality stuff. Us Elders have to buy food, buy metro tickets, set up chairs, etc for the event. Friday the event actually happened. All went well other than one kid who forgot his passport. Oh well. 

I got to go contacting with my MTC companion elder Lamothe that day! It was super fun and we were able to see a lot of success. 

Saturday we went out to Caen to do a finding day with that district. Caen is not the most beautiful city but I definitely had a terrific time. Caen is found up in the Normandy region. A lot of the citizens there really respect us for what happened there 70 years ago. 

Sunday we had another terrible choir practice. I think I am going to jump ship. Haha. 

Elder Pande and I are also tasked with creating the instructions for transfer day on Wednesday. Basically what this entails is giving separate instructions to 130 missionaries who are coming into Paris to get transferred or get a new companion. The catch is we can't meet all in one place because the police doesn't let us. So we have to do a lot number crunching and logistics to get this puppy off the ground. After about 6 hours of work we finished. I loved it. Logistics are so fun.

 

Have a wonderful week. God Bless Go Cowboys

We are doing this 25 days of Christmas thing with the mission. Basically we have to do a nice thing everyday and send in a photo of it. The first day was making breakfast for your companion.
