It seems that ever since my sister Jennifer left on her
mission to Spain that I keep having this Spanish experience... for example?? MEXICAN MIRACLE!!
Things are going great here in Rennes. It rains A LOT!!! I can’t even begin to express
how much I miss dry ground but hey it makes things green and I like green!
Thank goodness but the solid umbrella that I snatched from my mom’s home!! LIFE SAVER!!
Me and Soeur Tane made a transfer goal to become BFF... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!! It was pretty
hard at first because my French isn’t that great or really my sensitivity but
it is improving and thanks to Soeur Tane!! Our friendship has gotten soo good
that she even wrote me a song. Pretty much she is a Tahitian pop star and
writes her own music. She is soo talented and I am the first companion to get a
song!! HONORED!! If I had working
tear ducts then I would have cried but it is the thought that counts right??
Our friendship has gotten so good that I cut her hair. I am not AT ALL qualified to cut hair and I have
never done it in my life except for spring break in NYC with a boy that I had
never met. That is about it so when I was just writing in my journal one night
and Soeur Tane comes with scissors and asks me to cut her hair..... I said no! But
then I did it and it isn’t that bad. TRUST!!
Who out there likes TANGLED????
ME ME ME!! So you bet that I was super excited when I found out that the
tangled castle was in my area and by my area I mean not really but oh well. It
is called Mont St Michel and is off the beaches of Normandy. It was soo cool
and having a member, ami and my companion all there made it even better!! It
was so fun! My companion really likes to take selfies so I hope you enjoy all
the solo shots of myself...
Now for the Mexican miracle... So on Thursday we had a rdv
set at the church and we were sitting there waiting and the time just kept
ticking and ticking. Finally we hear the door to the church open and got super
excited! FAIL!! Not the ami we were
expecting but even better. Meet Alicia... she is a member from Mexico just
visiting Rennes for a couple of weeks to see her nonmember friend Mauricio. She
googled the church and decided to come by and we just happened to be there!! It
was beautiful! You bet that we invited her and her friend to institute but she wasn’t
sure he would come because he isn’t too religious. HE CAME!!! Turns out that we have a YSA that speaks Spanish.
Mauricio is learning French but doesn’t speak English and Alicia speaks a
little English and no French so communicating.. Hard! Watching finding NEMO
with Spanish subtitles in high school didn’t teach me as much as I thought it
would. They both really liked institute! Then they both came to church for all
three hours and turns out that there are several Spanish speakers in the ward!!
THEN they both came to FHE on
Monday!! They are too cool and I am soo grateful to know them. They both just
radiate light and happiness and I feel like I am becoming a better person
through them!
Yesterday we had interviews with president and zone
conference and guess who is in my zone... SOEUR
MELVILLE and you bet I was soo happy to see her and even happier when she
told me how much my French has improved!! I love being a missionary and all of
the cool miracles and experiences that I have had!
Valentine’s Day is on Friday.... RECIEVED my first and only valentine from my girl XANY... still
accepting any other forms of love! I hope you all feel my love and not just on
valentines!
I love you and miss you all! Thanks for all the love and
support!!
Love,
Soeur Emily Johns
