Hello,
Glad you
finally got the package. The photo by the Eiffel tower is with Elder Maxwell. I
will try to send you the picture through email next week like you asked. I don’t
have the stuff to send it this week.
To answer
all of your questions about visiting Paris, honestly I have no idea. I have
never really heard of any body getting picked up by their family. I don’t see
why not though. Give me another year and hopefully I will be able to answer
that question haha. Only time will tell.
Well I was
pretty certain that I would be staying here in Chartres for at least one or
maybe even two transfers. WRONG. Just when I get comfortable in a ville it’s
time to peace out! I’m going to St Brieuc! It is Bretagne... supposedly the best looking
part of France. I will be right on the ocean. I’m not the biggest fan of seafood
but from what I hear I’d better learn to love it haha. Not a problem. I can eat
anything. Oh and I will be a district leader. Pretty excited about that.
Teaching a lesson in French for an hour and a half each week sounds like a fun
challenge to me. “Whom the Lord calls he qualifies.” Hopefully that means he will make my French
qualifiable. Is that a word? Probably
not. But you get the point haha. I leave on Wednesday for my new ville! And
then on Thursday I have a training thing in Paris. It’s gonna be a good week for
sure! Oh and my comp is going to be Elder Schultz from Salt Lake City. I know nothing about him except for that and
that he is a very young missionary. He will be in his third transfer I believe.
Life is going to be real hard. But I’m pretty pumped for it.
My last
full week in Chartres was pretty amazing. The first part of the transfer was
easily the hardest time of my life. The work was moving very very slowly. But
it has really picked up this last week. We have found some new amis and we have
started teaching a good number of lessons. The Lord has surely been blessing us
by putting people in our path who are ready for the gospel in their lives. We
currently have two people who I believe will be baptized in the near future. I
wish they could be baptized within the next two days before I leave but that
would be asking just a little too much I think haha. Yesterday our ami B came
to Church! We have been trying to get him to church for 8 weeks now! It was so awesome. And I must add that he was
looking quite fresh. He had on a swag suit and some fancy French shoes. I was
taking notes for sure. And he picked a dang good week to come to church because
Elder Adams was giving a talk in sacrament meeting! haha. I received the
assignment to give the talk about 4 weeks ago so I had plenty of time to
prepare. And I did just that. I prepared
and I prepared a lot haha. I think this was the first talk I have ever gave in
my life when i wasn’t freaking out the minutes leading up to the talk or during
the talk. The French was flowwwingggg! Its pretty amazing what practicing,
pronunciation, and praying to the Lord that the people would understand can do
to a person’s talk! haha. I think my
talk lasted for just under fifteen minutes. Pretty sure I have never even talked that long
in English. It felt pretty dang good. Practice really does make perfect haha jk. In my case.... practice makes things
understandable. It ain’t easy for a poor
white worm farmer boy to learn this liberal French but with the Lord its possible
haha. Anything is possible! And in my talk I even told a little joke. Pretty sure it was my first French joke ever!
No one ever gets my jokes in French but they got it! #Blessings.
Well that’s
about all for the week. I hope y’all have a good week. Stay awesome. Dieu soit aven toi jusqu'au revoir! Peace.
Bises.
Elder Admaz.
