The whole 6 months to
sexy thing obviously didn’t work and so now it is onto the 6 weeks to sexy and
the Lord is providing a way for us to get skinny... WALKING! Having a car has its definite perks but staying in shape
by walking everywhere is definitely not one of them. We have been waking up at
6 every morning the past two weeks and running and doing other work outs and
also praying to lose weight (missions are not the place to get skinny) and so
this week when we had to save A TON of
miles to get to some of ours amis we decided we would spend the whole day
without a car and in Toul. This means.... WALKING!
And walking we did! It is a good thing that just last week I threw out all
of my flats that I walked holes through and put on my sturdier ones. Wednesday we
walked for 7 hours!! We only took a break for lunch and dinner and those two
hours were HEAVEN!! On our day of
walking we were able to see some cool things like the first tree house in France
I have ever seen!
I am trying to think
of everything that happened this week and all I can really think of is that we
prayed a lot to have someone to teach and then we did literally EVERYTHING that we could. And I mean
everything! We walked around the same streets hour after hour and day after day
and really dug deep for that motivation but I think that God had mercy on us
and by Friday things were good again! We just have to keep going
sometimes when going is not what we want to do!
Slauco’s parents are
still skyping the elders in Romania and it is tooooo cool! They will be going
back to Spain soon and so I decided to try to teach them in Spanish using the
planner that my sister gave me... they had a hard time understanding but oh
well!

Soeur Nielson and I
realized that we are horrrrrible of taking photos and so while waiting for Slauco Sunday night
for our lesson we decided to have a selfie photo shoot.... we are not the
prettiest missionaries but definitely some of the happiest! We had waaay too
much fun taking really ugly pictures and then have his parents look at us like
we are weird Americans.
This week was a good
one and I am happy! We are working hard and seeing miracles and learning
patience!
I love and miss you
all!! My birthday is September 12 just so you all know!
Love
Soeur Emily Johns
