I've kept my better qualities...

Ma chère famille,

Ça va ou quoi? Vous êtes la meilleure!  How's it going?  (literal= It's going, or what?) You are the best! Thanks for all your emails! They are inspiring for me to read every week! I love hearing about how things are at home! And pics are the best! Sorry, I'll try and send some next week. Oh psyche, you'll see me on Skype next week, so week after that. Sorry, it's a little harder now, cause I'm back at the Paita en ville in town internet place and it's different.

Mais bon,But anyway,  this week. We had a busy week! It was good. We got to talk with our equipe  team, i.e. companionship that's having a bit of trouble right now, and that was humbling and a good experience. Knowing that I don't need to worry about what to say, because the Lord simply speaks through me. It was incredible. And that actually happened quite a few times this week. Realizing how much I don't matter. And not in a degrading way, but just the fact that if we are doing what we should be doing, and if we give our whole soul to the Lord (Omni 1:26 ish?) He will use us to accomplish His work. To do what He would do if He were here. To say the very words He would say even. It's INCREDIBLE. I want to ba a missionary for the rest of my liiife!! Also, as far as the calling goes, we had our first meeting with the zone leaders and we organized our first exchange, which will be next week! Chyeah. I've never been so tired in my life, but I've also never been so happy!

Also, the subject line... I may or may not have lost the phone for two days this week. I don't wanna talk about it. Yahhh. Still working on the responsability thing. That'll have to s’améliore improve, and fast. Also, I got the opportunity to play ULTIMATE this week cause we went to a stake picnic with our amis. And the zone leaders showed up with a frisbee and I may or may not have flipped. I was sooo stoked and running around like a crazy announcing the good news so that we could start a game. hah. 

Other than that, it's pretty cold here. I think I'm really just une poule mouilléea chicken/wimp (literal= a wet/damp chicken...the French certainly paint a picture with that expression, don't they?), mais bon. but anyway Sometimes I do etudes  studies wrapped up in my fleece music blanket, (merci Maello!) Utah winters will be fun when I get home. And also, the moustiques mosquitos are CRAZY. I sleep in a crazy person mosquito net now because they attack me whenever I get out. So that's unfortunate. 

Anyways, sorry, I'm outta time, but I love you family! Thanks for your prayers and love and support! And I will see you next week! 9am my time. On skype! My skype name's the same. I hope I remember it...

L'evangile est vrai!

Love, Soeur Santos
