Hey; Thank
you for telling me you know what to do for classes. It would be super
cool to get that schedule that I wanted. So we will go to teh
questions:
David is gereat. i confirmed him,a nd he brough yet another friend to church. We fixed a rdv with the guy too.
Yes
I recieved answers to conference. in fact just as the music was going
for the first session I jotted down a few questions I had, and within
the first two or three talks, I had answers to them. These people are
really inspired and know what they are talking about.
Let's see any other questions??? Well for the front seat of
zone conference, It is not reserved for dying missionaries, but I
thought you would appreciate it, so I took a seat in front. On the left
of the row behind me is Elder Cueva and eElder Castillo.
Yes, so I will possibly only mail you once more, and then I'll
do instant messaging apres. I have seen before dying missionaries use
the computer in the office to write their families, but there is only
one comp, and lots of missionaries, so I will try and write a little
something, but It probably won't be the full blown day by day. I'll
give you theat the next evening. Unless I fall asleep which is highly
possible.
What happened this week? Tell us Elder.
Thanks Elder,
well this week has been magical and full of success, if you look at the
graphic, we can see the seven day forecast.
Monday: we taught Gedemias, one of David's friends who is super golden. We fixed the
25 october
as his baptism. He said Mas pronto when we asked him (sooner), but
he'll just have to wait til then because we need time to teach him
everything ha ha. After that lesson, we went to a place called
Colliour, a beach town about 40 mins from here on Bus. ti is a super
pretty beach town on the mediterranian. We took pictures, saw the little
church on the little island that is famous, and explored the little
pretty roads. Gorgeous, it looks just like those paintings of France,
the light is perfect, old castles on the sea... Fun fun... there were
also two naked people on the naked beach section... odd, unfortunatley
you
had to walk past the naked people to get to the tourist part. ay yay ya
y this apostate world. Then that evening we took the train to
Montpellier for our zone conference. It is a combines zoine conference,
so we had it in Aix-en-Provence! Remember that place? So since it is
kina far, we went to montpellier the day before and stayed in the
elder's apt.
Tuesday:
Zone conference. Lots of fun. Inspirational. I was the only one in
my dying group there, so I was the only one who bore my testimony.
President made a joke about me as well, he asked me a question saying I
should know the answer because I was the oldest missionary there. Good
fun. What was great is that Elder Call, Arrington, Frandson, Gruber,
Swenson, Castillo and Cueva were there. Seven of my collegues! That
usually never happens. Afterwards I scrambled to get them all together
to take a pickure. Then that evening we got to montpellier. Talked to
some people, and went to bed.
Wednesday:
Took the train back to Perpignan, there were train strikes, so instead
of going to Perpignan directly like our ticket said, we had to take a
train to Narbonne and wait for two hours for a connecting train to go to
Perpignan. It was a little annoying, but Soeur Receveur's mother had
sent her the seminary general conference Jepoardy, so we played that.
It si more fun as a missionary. We got back finally, taught a less
active Bruno. Then saw an old slightly crazy member, and then had
dinner with a partially active family who live in an enormous house.
Possibly one of the nicest houses I have been to on my missin... for
dinner we had... Domino's, they were not home all day and didn't have
time to cook, but we had been craving pizza earlier, so we were happy.
Thursday:
Had a couple raté-vous, then Taught Raul a guy we had contacted on the
street. he is nice... on drugs or something, but nice. Then we did
calles and tried to pass less actives etc
Friday:
planning, saw our friends Judicaël and Lilian... they are both
dropped. They just aren't progressing/ we think that one of them is
ligitimatly crazy. Then we taught english class and had the baptism of
the sister's amis, Alain and Catherine. It was a really good service. I
made tiramissou which when the sisters said the elders made it,
everyone was surprised because it was good.
Saturday:
Had the William's couple from Toulouse over to inspect our apt. It was
good they brought us some needed materials like cleaning supplies, bath
mat, etc. Then we gave blessings to a couple less active sisters and
taught them. And had a great lesson/ dinner with Daniel and his Wife (a
couple from south america) and Croque Monsieurs, the best I have ever
had. The lesson was all in spanish, and I was able to say a few
sentences, but mostly the other two elders talked and translated for me.
Sunday:
Curch. David Alain and Catherine were all confirmed. The ward was
super happy. Then we fixed lots and lots of rdvs for this coming week,
and ate athe family Meunier's house. She is from Vietnam and made us
some vietnamise food mixed with French stuff. It ended up being super
super good. Lots of salt and spicy but amazing! Then we did lots of
contacting, calls, and such.
So voilà. I was just thinking that I really only have two
weeks left. I feel as though I have not been here very long. Meaning
my mission total. Though I think back to the MTC and that feels like
ages ago. It is interesting. Tiem is a weird thing. I am really
excited to see you.Dont forget
Sunday at midnight, so actually
monday the 28th, but
midnight between Sunday and
Monday to register for my classes. I will do a suivi with you after to make sure you have kept your engagements.
How many people ended up coming to presthood session?
Je
vous aime tellement. Vous me manquez beaucoup, et j'attends notre
rencontre avec impatience. Soyez sage et restez fidèles. Ne vous
égarez point du bon chemin, il n'y a pas de choses toutes nouvelles à la
réunion de la prêtrise, et tous les discours sortent dans le magazine
alors je ne comprends pas pourquoi ces femmes veulent la regarder...
Bin Bref, encore nous disons notre au revoir. Que Dieu soit avec vous
ce jour et pour toujours. BYE
