Breaking Baguettes in Bordeaux (update #59)

Hello tout le monde!

I accidentally ran out of time this week so I don't have a lot to say, but this week has been the absolute best. My companion is beautiful and fun and inspired and smart and the best. Bordeaux is the most beautiful place on the planet.

Our Albanian family is as cute and sweet as ever.

This week we tried to teach the kids about prayer and we asked them how they thought we could talk to God if we can't see him. Their response were: "we can build a staircase really tall and go see him" and "we can write a letter and give it to the birds to give to God." So cute. 

We've had a couple rendezvous since then and the kids are starting to pray (with our help) and it is one of the sweetest, most spiritual things to be a part of. The innocence and faith of little kids is incredible. I think especially because they don't fully understand... because I'm a
missionary and have been for a year now and I definitely don't fully understand everything haha.

We had a last rendezvous with our amie Yuwei before she heads off to China for a business trip next week. We're hoping with all our hearts that we'll be staying together another transfer, but if one of us is leaving this will be our last week in Bordeaux :(( but miracles can happen!

We went over to Sarah and Stephanie's house on Sunday to make a French/ American meal and it was Sooo much fun!!! 

Just to spend a Sunday afternoon in the kitchen (my favorite place) with people I

love. And also such a miracle because Stephanie has been less active for so long and little by little we've become her friend up until now where she invited us to spend the afternoon with her! Soeur Rutter and I compare our amis/ people to baguettes. They're hard on the outside, but soft and loving on the inside. You just have to have the love and patience to get to the inside. So we're over here breaking baguettes in Bordeaux :) and it's so much fun.

Well, I've got to run. Have the best week, thank you for your prayers and examples and lights in the world.

Love,

Soeur Cami Goold
