Hello one and all!!

Welcome back to Soeur Rogers' adventures in Mulhouse!! This week featuring: an absurd number of trains, sleeping on floors, miracle coordinees, 4 boxes of copies of the Book of Mormon, driving through the mountains, and baptismal dates for ALL THE AMIS!! 

So this week we spent the first two days in our own cher Mulhouse, and then we took trains Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. In our days of actual missionary work, we were able to meet with our amis Lina, Marie Monnin, and Edmond! Lina is a coordinee from her cousin who is a member in Grenoble. She came to church and then we had a killer rdv and talked about the Restoration! We also set a baptismal date with Marie-- she's going to be baptized the 6th of May!! And we also had an awesome lesson with our ami Edmond. He'd been looking at mormon.org, so he had a lot of questions for us!! It was awesome because it's been hard for us to know what he's thinking in the past, but now he's really opening up to us and asking good questions. He's going to pray this week about a baptismal date, so if you guys could also pray for him to help him receive inspiration, that would be awesome!!

We had to go to Nancy once for zone conference on Friday, come back for half a day of work on Saturday, and then come back for Stake Conference on Sunday morning. We stayed with the Nancy soeurs both Thursday and Saturday nights (sleeping on the floor) and also with the STLs! Hooray for sleepovers! On Saturday we managed to carry 70 copies of the Book of Mormon from the tabac where they had been left all the way back home. Not an easy feat, but we succeeded!! 

We managed to avoid a fourth train on Sunday by catching a ride home with the Appasamy family, and thus were treated to beautiful windy roads through the mountains, random waterfalls, breathtaking views, and a tad bit of carsickness. This week was exhausting but so much fun!! Soeur Kitchen and I bond more every day, and discover the varied ways that we are basically the same person. This week we discovered that we have the same spirit animal (an elephant)

Thanks for all your prayers and support. Remember that missionaries love emails, and that I love you!! Have a great week!
