week 56

We went on a couple of exchanges this week. After district meeting I went down to Vannes with elder Stephenson and elder Baldwin stayed here in Rennes with elder gagnon, he's from Quebec. That was fun, elder Stephenson and I missed our train and then almost missed the second one too cuz we got the wrong tickets, but it was cool because, because of all of that we met this old guy that has a Mormon friend and we were able to teach him. The rest of the exchange was good, elder Stephenson is super cool! We came back to Rennes to exchange back and elder Baldwin and I found out that all the busses were down for the day because of some security issue so we had to walk from the gare to our apartment a couple of times, which is a good couple of miles, throughout the day. It kinda made some of our rendez vous hard to do but it all worked out. 

The Brest elders came in today as well for another exchange, they live pretty far away so we did a double exchange where both equipes were here in Rennes. I was in a three man with elder Bayer, from Michigan, and elder young, from Utah. That was really fun, we met this really cool Colombian dude who lived in the U.S. For four years and knew the Mormons through South Park haha. We also got to go to this thing at the church called P.P.P (ping pong, pancakes, pensée spirituelle (spiritual thought)) a couple of our Amis came and that went really well.  

Thursday, we exchanged back and elder Baldwin and I had to check some stuff out at the prefecture for my second year legality, we had a couple rendez vous that were good today as well.

Friday, we got to do some service at a non members families house. We went early in the morning and helped the dad get this big tree stump cut from its roots and pulled out of the ground for a good three or four hours. They fed us a nice lunch after 😊

Saturday, we got to have lunch with a member family, it was a bbq and there was another family that came too. we met this African guy this week who wants us to sell this product for him over in the U.S. We were like "alright, we'll come check it out, but we get to share our special message with you, deal?" He was down so we went to his house on Saturday and he had us taste some of this African yogurt that he wanted to sell us, it was actually alright, we each bought a tub and then tried to share a message with him but he wouldn't let us so that was lame, he just wants to make money off us so we probably won't go back hah.
