O How Great the Plan of Our God - 2 Nephi 9:13

Well. On Saturday we received the news for my last transfer. I will be staying in V D'ascq with my lovely Sr Walton. I am so excited we get to stay together! i absolutely adore her and we are best friends, i am so glad Heavenly Father is letting me stay with one my best friends for the last six weeks. Quel rêve! 

This week was so great! Friday was definitely the highlight of the week. 

Oceane was baptized Friday night and it was so wonderful, she was a little nervous right before she went into the font so we said a little prayer together in the bathroom and then she went in and got baptized and came out just absolutely glowing. She beamed for the rest of the night. My face hurt by the time I went home because i had been smiling literally all day long. 

We went to Paris earlier that day for our soeur conference and I got to see all my favorite people and it was exactly what I needed. All the Sister Training Leaders gave great formations about being united with our companions and have sincere prayer and being healthy! President talked to us about stress and then he shared the Bible video of Christ feeding the 5000 and it was so cool. He gave us a whole new insight about it. So there were tons of people around to listen to Christ and the Apostles were like hey, we have no food, let's send them home. And Jesus was like well what do you have? And they were like five loaves and a couple fish. And Jesus says, Bring them to me. And with just that little contribution, Christ gives thanks and then He feeds 5000 people and there are 12 baskets left over! President said that is the same with us. Sometimes we come to the Savior and say, look I only have five loaves and two fish, surely that isnt enough to be of any worth or to do any good at all in the world. And the Savior looks at us and says, bring them to me. And although alone we really cant accomplish much, when we partner with the Savior, all the sudden our small efforts are enough, because His grace is sufficient. 

sorry this email is so short! I love you all so much!! have a wonderful week full of happiness and joy!
