Conference, Role Models, and Pork Salads make for a very good week!

conference was awesome! this week i was blown away by conference and so much of it totally hit me hard. it was good to see all the sessions we were able to and i'm itching to see the rest. 

 

tuesday was definitely a highlight. we went and ate nothing else but cafe rio with one of my favorite french families. yes it is the family of our buff dmp and his wife. she made some yummy pork salads and i felt like i was in heaven. we took one of the people we recently baptized and he was a little scared but warmed up to the idea at the end. it was a super awesome time

 

we did a lot of finding this week because a good chunk of our amis were taking their exams and doing all that school stuff. that's the bittersweetness of teaching young people. this next week we'll be able to see all the young families as well as the new family we found sunday

 

President Eyring gave a talk about role models. He talked about how he had all the great role models when he was a youngster and i totally see how that applies to me. obviously there are role models that come from home but there are also many that come from france. in this ward there are a number of returned missionaries who do an excellent job in showing us what we should be like as a returned missionary. i would name some but i already talk about our buff dmp enough! after the saturday afternoon session, which we watched sunday after priesthood session, we had an odd amount of time and instead of going back home to eat we both felt we should go do a pass back. we took our bus while the others went home to eat. it turned out good because out pass back was there and they let us in. but it wasn't only the family. there were 2 other families with them. they were so happy to see us and accepted a prayer. they let us know that their doors were always open to us and we set up another rdv. it was cool to see how far our extra little effort actually went. basically that was the whole week.
