Bonjour Ma Famille et Mes ami's! Comment ça va?! How did you all like conference? Well....I watched it in French so I'm not gonna lie, I didn't understand most of what they were talking about! But...it was still wonderful to hear and I loved having the opportunity to experience it in another language. It was super fun because all the songs from the Tabernacle Choir were in English and all the french members were trying to sing along...haha it was awesome! We got to watch the Sunday morning session with the Branch President and his family. He served his mission in Provo Utah....so, he speaks English pretty well. After the session he made crêpes for us....super AMAZING! Soeur Mason and I have a habit of quoting movies as we walk around....we have started making a list. I often find myself humming disney songs too. Its fun to keep myself going:) One of my favorite things here in France is listening to little french kids. A lot of them try to sing American songs but they end up sounding so different because of their accents haha! I had a few little kids playing with my hair the other day when I went to visit a member family. One of their little boys actually ran up and gave me a big hug. I love meeting people and wish so badly that I could understand what they were saying to me!So....this week has kept Soeur Mason and I on our toes. We got followed by a few drunk people. In the grocery store the other day...we had 2 drunk men cut in front of us in line, and we actually had a little old lady fighting for us! It was crazy!!! That was pretty much one of the most eventful days from this past week. A few of our appointments feel through...but conference made up for it! I hit my 3 month mark on Thursday. Its crazy to think how fast time is flying! I got asked how long I have been serving a few times...and it feels so weird to think that I've been gone from home for 3 months. It feels so surreal sometimes! Kind of like I'm in a different world or I'm dreaming....but I'm working in my dream. Well...I'm sorry my email is super short this week! I don't have a lot of time today. But I hope you know that I love each of you and I live for your letters and emails. They mean the world to me! Thank you so much for all you do and for your wonderful examples! I promise I will write more next week. Have a fantastic week and know that I love you! Bon Semaine!!! Au Revoir!BisousXOXOXOXOXO
