This week was full of very exiting things. It felt a little bit like a
vacation which was very different. On Monday we went to Cannes and did
some caroling with a few of the primary boys from the ward. We had
practiced the songs a few times after church to get ready for it and
it turned out very well. We visited a lot of single ladies in the
ward and they were all so happy to have us. The boys also had a
great time.
Then Monday night we went to Nice and then woke up at
2:30am on Tuesday to get on a bus to Lyon. We were on a bus with a lot
of other missionaries from Nice and Aix areas. When we got to Lyon we
all met at this park and played some games before going to an
auditorium that was in an aquarium where we played some more games,
ate tacos, ate lots of candy and watched the Lion King. It had been a
while since I've seen that movie or any movie.
On Wednesday we had a conference with lots of musical performances and then we went back to
Nice. It was really fun to see all of my old companions and people that
I know.
On Christmas Eve we went to the Rodriguez family home for lunch.
We also invited Pierre to come with us
and we had a lot of fun. After eating we went into town and sang some
Christmas songs. I sang a lot of Christmas songs this week!
Christmas morning we opened our presents and went to Maman Gentiles
house. She had one of her sons family over and we had a nice meal and
then went to the church to Skype with the family! It was so great
to see everyone again!
We also went to the Perez tennis club and the Borgognios to eat this
week. So we were pretty busy eating and did not have much time for
anything else. We did go to a cool town called Biot and we worked with a lot of
nice people there.
Miracle of the week
When we were in Biot we talked to this lady and she found out
that my companion is from Utah and she told us that the son of the
local restaurant owner just got back from studying in Utah. We went to
the restaurant and talked to the owner and his son and they were so
happy to see us. The owner was literally born in the restaurant and
his family had been there for years. The son was really nice too and
had friends and roommates who served missions. He went to
Westminster collage. We are thinking that we should go back and eat there
some time.
I wish you all a Happy New Year!
