3 of 11 Week #1 Transfer #4 - Albi, Ambialet, Rodez

Hey Everyone!

Staying with Elder Omohundro and Elder Robards is funny because it still feels like the same transfer! Haha I keep referencing to last transfer meaning back in Tarbes and forgetting I was in Albi, still feels like transfer 3 but extra long.

On P-day we got to visit this super cool city called Ambialet which is really beautiful. We took a ton of cool pictures. Bonus to having a car! Today we are off to Toulouse for shopping.

This week we got to see a lot of less active members and both of our amis, which meant lots of driving for me! I almost ran over some people, they're crazy here,at any moment they'll just run out from in between all the parked cars in the streets instead of using the crosswalks like 30 ft away. Lol i just drive very slowly and carefully, but i'm feeling a lot more relaxed now and it feels more normal. My favorite was Friday driving b/c on an exchange with Elder Wall from Rodez we got to go see a member who fed us a ton, and even though i spent 4 hours driving that day, 2 of them were in the beautiful countryside south of Albi with a speed limit of 90 km/h which is roughly 60 mph which is way too fast for those roads so i get to choose my speed. I drive safe though, but its fun!

I got the chance to give 2 blessings this week to the sick. I just know God helps us and gives me the words these people as long as make sure I'm prepared and its so cool. This is my testimony that blessings and the priesthood are real gifts of God.

I wish you all a happy beginning to December this week and the Christmas season! We finally broke out the Christmas music in the car and all the Christmas hymns at church so I'm pumped b/c Christmas is my favorite time of the year! Maybe we'll get a little snow at some point to make it even better. I also had a great thanksgiving to kick off the Christmas season, we ate and played cards with Soeur Delouche on Thursday and then spent the night with Rodez where Elder Wall cooked us a delicious thanksgiving dinner that was amazing. And the next day on exchange with elder wall the less active we saw prepared an even bigger thanksgiving dinner!! Elder Omohundro and Elder Robards were unhappy to find out the exchange landed on that day, but we ate great muahaha. Haha they had a good meal with a member in Rodez too, just not as good. Even tried some very fancy French ice cream that looks crazy, and is slightly less good than the stuff at home. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that this next week is great!
