Ma chère famille,
I have some time to write this week! So here goes.
This week Soeur Lamb and I started french drivers ed or "la code." This consists of sitting in a room and watching a dvd of practice test questions 40 at a time and answering A, B, C, and D, or some combination of the two. The bad news? It's every Wednesday, Thursday. and Friday, from 9-11:30 and then 2:30 to 6. But, the truth still stands, that taking drivers ed with your best friend makes it a thousand times more bearable than having to take it alone. The first time around was with Jdawg and now it's with Soeur Lamb. So it's good. Soeur Lamb and I bring some light into the room :] And! The good news is, I think I only have 3 more weeks. J’espère I hope... I gotta get good fast. But yah. It's going well so far, but pray for me please, and also, our ZL's who are taking the test tomorrow and need to pass so that they can start driving again.
The fun part about this all is that I'm "training." haha. But really, I'm sharing the baby with Soeur Tupai, which is weird. But, Soeur Tupai is incredible, she's a better missionary than I am, so I have no problem leaving Soeur Beagles with her 3 days a week, because I know that she is learning lots and being obedient and working hard when I am gone. It was a little scary though, I left her in the sector for the first time this last Friday, only a week after she got here! But she found everything alright, so it was all good, I was just stressing a little bit.
This weekend was fun! We had a mariage this Friday and a baptism on Saturday!! Tauhia! She's from the Marquese Islands. I think that's around Tahiti. And she married Pierre, who is also a converti recent. It was beautiful! And I love seeing the gospel change people's lives. It's incredible.
We also got to do some port a port this week and we found a Catholic family that we're going to go see tomorrow! I'm stoked. We're trying to work more with the members too, cause they are what makes this work roll forward!
Oh! And, as a mission we are reading the Book of Mormon in 60 days, which is fun. I started a couple weeks ago and I'm almost to Alma. It's fun, and I just hopped ship. Cause I started it in english, but Soeur Kailiponi and Soeur Lamb are reading it in French, and I decided I wanted to too. But oh man. This book is incredible! Read it everyday and your desire to share this gospel will grow. It's incredible!!
Other than that, happy one year this week Elise!! It's crazy. Mele just said it in an email, but it was about a year ago when Pup and I went through the temple for the first time and when I had my last recital. Time flies when you're having fun... It's crazy.
Other than that, lifes good. Soeur Beagles french has already gotten lots better, which I attribute to the Spirit and also my obnoxiousness and only speaking french to her. haha. But she knows I love her :]
Anyways! I love you family!! Thanks for your love and support!! You are constantly in my prayers!! Share the gospel with those around you! It really does just become natural after the first couple times! It's the center of our lives! I love you! And I love this work. It brings me JOY!!
L'evangile est vraie!
Love, Soeur Santos
