Another week down, and I now like French milk! I hated it when I got here, but now it's so good and I drink it all the time. And it lasts forever, you can keep it in a cupboard for like a month, some crazy way they treat it before sale.

It's cool how things are starting to increase again, were making progress. This week we started with an exchange with our zone leaders in Toulouse, fun and this random guy we talked with on the street took me and elder Hansen out for McDonald's! Got some ice cream, so awesome. And McDonald's is nice here too, not like back at home. 8$ minimum for a meal pretty much lol. Anyways we had a good exchange and a district meeting the next day with was cool and uplifting. Had some pretty tranquil (pretty much means chill, but pretty much means the same as the word tranquil in English) days and then Saturday where we had 6 rendezvous! We were speed walking all over town. And only 1 fell through so that's pretty good! We had some really cool lessons with less active members and made 2 new Amis afterwards since we scheduled another rendezvous with each of the investigators we met with, so they are now officially Amis! Sunday evening was perhaps my favorite evening this week. We decided beforehand the night before to have a "miracle hour" in between all our studies that day where we would "suit up" literally in our suits and got contacting. 6 is a good time for talking to people and our suits we thought would give us a more professional look. And It totally worked! We had 6 conversations in that small hour and 2 of them were really quality, and another we actually ended up teaching pretty much a whole lesson on temples. We met a lot of super cool people and gave them all cards, and even though we didn't find anyone who wanted to have any lessons it was a great experience taking with all of them, I learned a lot, and it made my day and week. I really leaned how to better talk in French about families and such, and how to better direct our conversations to have them really think about their families and the importance of. It's so cool how people get really thinking about their families and e joy you see in then as they do so and as they remember all the good and happiness their families have and continue to bring them.

As my allez-vous to you this week, think of one person in your life who has helped you and been an example to you, someone who has helped you to become the person you are today and/or to get where you've arrived. When you think of that person, go tell them or call them to tell them thank you if you can or write down a sentence or two of what you would like to tell them if you could tell them. Families are the best and can be forever, and I'm so lucky to be in mine, and to have you all who are all who mean so much to me.
Passez une bonne semaine! Que Dieu vous benisse tous. (Have a good week. May God bless you all)
Avec amour,
Elder Laney
