Hello mother! Life is good. Things to tell you before I forget. I sent you
two packages the other day from Caen. They
are two boxes full of books that I sent because I had no room in my bags. And
it should take like a month. They have this thing in France where you can send
books to America for really cheap! The
two boxes Ii sent should have cost around one hundred dollars but instead it
cost only 30! Pretty good deal. That was the reason I spent so much money last
week. And I also had to buy my
"bleu" (greeny) our father- son ties. He picked some pretty expensive ones haha. I had no choice. They cost like thirty all
together. So yeah that’s why all of your
money disappeared. And we had to eat
while we were in Paris because we had to wait three hours for our train. So now you know why I wiped out the account
haha. Only for good reasons! Love me still? Wanna hook me up with some more? I’ll pay you back one day. You know I’m good
for it.
So my new area is super legit. Very
small but that’s okay. We are finally to the point where we don’t get lost to
easily. We usually are able to find our
way home. My companions name is Elder
Lattin. he is from Washington DC. He is
the youngest of a family of 9 children haha. He spoke French for 5 years before
the mission. So he speaks pretty well already. It’s impressive. He gets super
nervous but that’s okay. I was worse I
think when I was a bleu. We have lots in common. He likes sports and we are both the youngest
in the family so we got plenty to talk about. We are not the only elders in
town. There are two other missionaries.
The other team in a training team as well. Elder Nicholson from Scotland is
training Elder Palfreyman from California. It’s fun to have to bleus in the house at the
same time. Every time anyone has a question they all come running to me haha.
Guess that’s normal because I have been here for a good amount of time. And Elder
Nicholson is only in his 5th transfer so everyone is still super young except
for me haha. Feels super weird. Not sure I like it. I have had a couple of dreams about returning
home already. It’s horrible!!! I hate
thinking about it haha. They are friggin night mares. And yes we all live in
the same apartment. It’s pretty old but its big and after a good cleaning its
lookin pretty good. We are on the 5th floor so we have a good view.
So I’m not sure if you remember but I
also trained Elder Davis earlier in my mission and he is now my Zone leader! He is so legit. It’s fun to be around him
again and see how much he has grown. Kid is a boss. And it’s crazy to think
that he is already super old in the mission. Feels like just yesterday I was
training him.
So yes I just watched the video for
the first time haha. I look like such a noob! I hate cameras! I think that is
pretty easy to tell haha. Elder Glover is a stud with that kind of thing. So no
I was not there for the baptism of Francois. I came in just after the baptism.
I was able to teach him many of the lessons after his baptism. Pretty sure I
have been to his house like 15 times. He is seriously amazing. He is a boss.
During the whole video while he is talking I am just right behind the camera
helping to balance it and I translated for the camera guy. What did I say again at the end of the video? haha. Whatever I said I sounded pretty dang shaky
haha. I was seriously sweating. And they
friggin recorded us for like 2 hours and I said like nothing because I wasn’t
the one who taught and baptized him. You can tell I was pretty tired when they
show me sitting next to Elder Glover saying nothing haha. Good times. 
Good luck getting ready for the
wedding! I’m sure you’re getting sick of
those things by now. That’s what you get for making the downstairs so nice and
open. C'est la vie. I’ll be sure to get married and have no
reception. That will make things easier
eh. I heard about Jimmer being traded
from some other missionaries. SO LEGIT! The Bulls are often shown around here in France
because of Noah, guy that is French. So yeah I’ll keep an eye out. I LOVE JIMMER.
This last week was pretty awesome! We started
off pretty well for having no people to teach at all just 5 days ago. We
have already found 2 people to teach and like 10 potential. The Lord has been blessing us! I have learned the importance of perseverance
this week. Our first night we contacted
people in the road for like 5 hours and saw no success. But then at 8:58, just 2 minutes before going
home we found this super awesome guy! We
taught him in the road and since we have taught him 3 times. He came to the church on Saturday and we gave
him a tour. He is legit!!! So with that said.... work till the end! Never give up. It was good to see a miracle like that... it
really gives me the extra push to finish my mission strong. When we persevere... we see miracles!
And this week I also have got to
fill out some papers concerning my release date and plane times and all that. So keep a look out in the next couple of weeks
for that. Have a good week. LOVE YOU!
