Day 56 - Class, Test, FHEs

Classes went well today. After religion, I took my French test. It went really well! I really like vocab because I'm good at memorizing information. I decided I am kind of like a sponge. I love to absorb information that I learn. It's what I've always done. However, instead of being able to turn it into useful things (like French sentences), I am just good at spitting it out the same way it came in. Though this isn't always the case, it fits me pretty well. Anyway.

After that, I went to FHE at the Ricks apartment. I gave the spiritual thought. I based it off of Alma 14:13. No matter what happens in our lives, we just need to keep going and we need to trust in the Lord. Even if something truly awful happens, we need to understand that there is still purpose in our lives because we have a Heavenly Father who loves us more than we can possibly imagine! After that, we had some delicious brownies with ice cream. Yum!

A few of us went to the young single adults FHE. It was good. One of the guys there, Jeremy, was kind enough to translate the lesson for me. I hope he didn't get too annoyed, but I am very grateful for it! The lesson was on friendship. We need to be a good friend and we need to seek out good friends. Then we just chilled for a while and talked. It was quite enjoyable!

That's it for the night; I better tuck in ;)

That is very nice of Jermey to translate for you.

Also that is a good spritual thought that you gave.

My sister Rachel had her baby boy Benjamin earlier this morning. This is the 19th time I've been an aunt. And I still absolutely adore it. I get just as excited with each birth. He's a new life. He's a miracle. I love children. With Benjamin and Abi, his oldest sister. I love her face in this one! Isn't he just adorable? Look at that hair! Oh I love him :)

Day 54 - Dernier Jour

Last day in Paris! I can't believe it. I'm sure gonna miss this place. Ali, Shamra, Mckell, Claire and I headed out to the city this morning. First stop was the Opera house. I finally got to see the inside this time! Beautiful. We had some fun :) Then we went to Berko's, the wonderful cheesecake place. It wasn't open and it was 11:35. We thought they wouldn't open until 12 but as we were sitting there waiting, they opened the doors! Yay! I got creme brulee cheesecake. Oh it was divine. This is one of the things I will miss most about Paris! Love it. Then Claire and I went to the Jewish museum. It was pretty interesting. I couldn't take many pictures. Then off to the Promenade Plantee. It was a really beautiful walk. I like this flower. It's weird. Then we walked back to the metro. It was quite a long walk so we were very tired! We went to the Louvre for a little internet time. Afterward, we went to Laudree to get a present for Greg and Martha. Then back to t

Day 55 - Home

I'll miss the metro, I'll miss the city, I'll miss the museums, I'll miss the tourist attractions, I'll miss the people, I'll miss the photo opportunities, I'll miss the rush. I'll miss this place. I got up early this morning, finished packing up, ate breakfast, then headed to the Roissy bus with Elisabeth and Ali. Who are, by the way, angels! I am so grateful to them for helping me. I absolutely could not have done it without them unless I got a taxi. And even then, I'm not sure. Once on the nice Roissy bus, I slept a little bit. It was good. SO much better than taking the RER B, which is what everyone else took who was on our flight. And it ended up being cheaper. Then we finally got to the airport. Elisabeth checked my duffel (thanks again!), which was fine on weight. Then I checked my large bag, except it was 4 kilo over. If I wanted to pay for that, it would be 150 euros. No thank you. So I had to get some stuff out of it. They gave me a AirFran
