Soeur Sarah Hunt France Paris Mission: Being trained part 2

Coucou de Nantes tout le monde! (Hiya from Nantes everybody!!) Wow life is so much different here. I'm so incredibly happy to be with my “mom” and “sister” again. Apparently, I wasn't done being trained so I was put back with Sœur Giles. Haha JK. Actually, the reason we're together is because last transfer no Soeurs left and only one Soeur came in so there's an odd number so we're a trio for now but Soeur Giles goes home next transfer, then it will be Soeur Morrison and I left here most likely. I love being in Nantes, it's a different life for sure. Much bigger and so many more people. I love it here!

I'd like to skip back a few days to transfer day before I got to Nantes. We were traveling in a group through the métros in an area I wasn't familiar with. As part of the transfer plans I ended up having to travel alone to Nantes. My companions weren't coming to pick me up. I had trouble with my luggage trying to carry it all by myself. Once I got to the trains I didn't know which train it was, so I asked a worker which one was going to Nantes while pointing at one train and the guy who worked there said it was the one I was pointing at. So, I got on with much struggle and finally got into my seat only to discover I was on the wrong train. So, I had to grab my bags very quickly before the train I was on left with me on it. I got out and realized that the train I was supposed to be on had just left 2 minutes prior. So, there I am without a phone or Wi-Fi and all by myself in a huge Gare (train station) ... I mean just my luck. I ended up having to exchange my ticket and waited 2 and a half hours before the next train left for Nantes. I finally got on the right train and it was smooth from there on out. I figured out the Wi-Fi on the train to tell my companions through messenger that I'd be late but that I was safe. Boy what a crazy transfer day it was.

Anyways I'm here in Nantes and I love it. It's so fun to reminisce all the stories from Nancy with Sœur Giles and with my other companion (sister). We get along super well. I love her, she's so funny. We have a lot in common.

On Friday we met with one of our amis named Mary and her husband's name is Bryce and they have one little girl. They're from Nigeria which means they speak English which is very nice. We met with Mary and were able to listen to a couple chapters in French on her computer because she doesn't read super well. Afterwards were able to teach her about having the spirit and she said she really wanted to have it. We thought that was a perfect opportunity to ask her to be baptized so she could receive the gift of the holy ghost. We set a date for August 25. It was super! I haven’t met Bryce yet, but my comps think that he'd agree as well and would be baptized together on the 25 of August!

It was very fun getting to know the members at church. It's a pretty big ward. I bore my testimony along with introducing myself in sacrament. Our ward is very diverse. We have Spanish and English and every African dialect. It's exciting! The bishop told us that our district speaks good French which made us way happy. The day before I got the best compliment in the world. When I was introducing myself to a member for the first time she asked me if I was French because I have a really good accent! I was very happy. First time I'd heard that. There is still always lots to learn but I'm happy to hear that I'm on the right track.

Well, that's it for the moment but I know next week will be awesome and so fun! I love you all very much and I hope you have a great week! Make sure to keep praying and put your trust in him. He's always there for you and will guide you to do the things you need to do. Have a great week!

Love Sœur Hunt
