Sweetness of Tour
Tour is totally Des Moines but french. It is so funny. We are technically in St. Pierre but in tour. Just a bridge away and poor little St. Pierre is only a place near Tour. Our Stay is continuing very well. Service has been very neat and different. They have a lot of apartment buildings so you speak mostly to the intercom. As like in the U.S many do not want to hear the message. Last week and this week we are searching for english people because the english talk and watchtower is this sunday. Everyone is looking foward to the talk except Agbesi because hes the one giving the talk. he wants us to help him and I believe we will. We are teaching Maryline and everyone funny sayings like....'oh no u didn't', 'we are goin to Micky Ds', they liked that one. It is so funny to hear them. Last thursday we went to KFC for dinner after the meeting and we were laughing and laughing. I think we were the loudest ones there because Maryline was doing the 'o no u didn't' and with her little accent and tune she put with it she was so hilarious! Oh my goodness. Saturday in service we were out in the ministry and at one point i was paired up with a sister who speaks hardly any english. We went up to the apartment building were there were supposedly english speaking people. They turned out to be chinese who could speak a bit of english. She would ask them if they spoke english and then back up and let me go up to the intercom and talk to them. It was very scary. One of them ended up coming down and I placed a watchtower with him and left him the invitation for the english meeting. It was very cool. The sister and i were trying to figure out what we were each saying to each other and we really couldn't. We were standing in the middle of the street laughing and laughing because we didn't know what each other were saying. It was AWESOME! In the world people would get frustrated and just say 'find someone else to ask', but not in Jehovah's organization. Speaking is hard for me but my understanding is getting better little by little. Sunday we had lunch with a family who were really sweet and of course the food was great! Then, after that we went to a dancing party which was really fun. They said we were the excuse to have another because they haven't had one in awhile. We danced to a lot of African music and it seems like they do a lot of line dancing.Funny being in France dancing to African music but it didn't matter cuz it was cool. It was a blast and my friend Lea is so sweet and is eighteen too. She lives in Lyon and goes to school here in tour. Well, thats about it for now. Missing everyone and THANK YOU THANK YOU for commenting. We really enjoying reading and laughing(MOM) to them. Au Revoir for now.

ReplyDeleteWOW! that is soo cool but ? aren't you girls over there to learn french? what are you doing in an english meeting JJ Luve you guys
ReplyDeleteHow is the french language coming along Channing??? You seem to express that you understand better than you feel you can speak! Don't be afraid...just do it! :) OH that is another phrase you can teach your new friends. That sounds so funny - would love to hear the accent and "Oh no u didn't" brings a smile to my face. We had a very encouraging circuit assembly and this week we have C.O. and D.O. so will be a flurry of activity. We are looking forward to it. Love all your videos. Can't wait to see you when you get back to hear more of your experiences.
