hey family!
well so i little birdie told me in my ear that all the women in the family were getting upset because i wasnt answering any of there questions so i'll try and see what i can do k? (with all the love in the world :P !!!) Mom i dont have my package yet but it will probably be tomorrow because we have zone conference then so ya. ummm, its hard to remember the questions so i will answer the ones i do remember... Halloween, i dont know what its like here because i havent been through one but i here its not really the same, they do celebrate it but... ya dunno tell you, next week i guess. ummm any other questions, well keshia told me to tell everything that happened during the week but that requires too much detail so thats not going to happen, haha! (love you babes) ummm..... well i hope your okay with that...
lets see what has happened cool this week... well yesterday was the Lyon Stakes, Stake Conference, and Elder Robert C. Oaks spoke to us, its pretty cool because well him, and another guy came in not knowing anybody and chose the person, and he chose his counselors without really knowing them. The Church isnt led by men but by God. and he knows whats up haha!
we have some cool new, amis that have a lot of potential... and one a girl from albania who, doesnt speak very good french or english but we got her a BOM in albanian and well that should be enough right???
umm... well the other day we were walking down to the Gare (train station) and we walked by a bar called Bar d'enfer, or in other words, hells bar, and well we thought it was funny because it burned down, at least on the inside :) i'll get a picture dont worry!
umm lets see i guess thats about it for me... i cant think of anything else exciting that happened really...
Love you tons

Hey Family!
Hows everything going?
well this week, lets see.
This is the week that i would have got transfered but didnt so thats cool. then on well, on tuesday, we had a really crappy day... yup, we were going to our district meeting because well it was tuesday, and we have to take a train for almost 3 hours there, well, i just have to say that it ended up being a 5 hour train ride.... that should be sufficient. but, then we got there had our district meeting, and we had a conference call with President Peterson (and the rest of the mission) which was really good and then since we didnt have a train for like 2 1/2 hours we had a little bit of time to do exchanges, so while me and well our district leader (who was moving) stayed in the apartment, our companions went to have a rendez-vous which turned out to be really, well bad i guess, also because we missed our train home so we decided to just stay the night there with ended up being not a bad decision because me and Elder Sorenson (whos one transfer younger than me in the mission) decided to go play basketball with some guys as kind of a finding technique, which i guess would have been a lot better if we weren't in our proselyting clothes. but it was fun and i broke one of my shoes pretty good, but i'm in the middle of fixing it so its okay! haha!
then we came home and all was good.
then lets see, basically this week has not held any crazy things, just basic rendez-vous, and proselyting.
umm lets see other stuff i forgot to tell you about a while ago. ummm we had some rocks thrown at us, and we didnt get hit so i guess that means we're samuel the lamanites. also Guillaume, one of the members here, who i've already mentioned before i think, he got his mission call to San Francisco, so me and Elder Lemich decided that we are going to go visit him once we get back :) he leaves december 30th so ya. cool stuff.
also wanted to ask if theres something going on in Sri Lanka, or India right now because we have a less active member here from there and the other night he was somewhat drunk, but also saying stuff like theres a war there or something?
also, oh ya this was this week and actually last night but i thought it was funny so we had contacted this lady, and we were talking and this old guy walked by who we had talked to before a little bit, anyways he joined the conversation and then we ended up walking with him for a bit and he asked us if we wanted to get a drink with him... too bad huh? haha well... i think thats about it for me have a great week and i love you!

Hey Family how are you doing!?!?
this week has been pretty good and we had a lot better time of things than last week so it was cool.
we talked to a lot of very nice, but very not interested people but thats okay because they will always remember when they see us and thats the goal, to get them thinking about it.
all of our amis are doing great, we dont have any baptismal dates yet but i'm expecting at least one in the next.. week i guess.
our Chinese family here in the ward are AMAZING haha. we tell them member missionary work is part of being a member and the next week we have a new chinese amis whos cool, and they're already like testifying and helping teach and helping him understand and oh man its cool. its even cooler because thats the promise that members are givin, that if you introduce people to the work, help teach them testify and be their support they'll get baptised and we're totally going to baptise him its awesome!!! (oh and frere cheng, the father, is definately going to become like a seventy or something haha theyre soo cool!!) the most recent news is, and i dont know if you are keeping track of time but, transfer calls were today. and I get to stay here for another 6 weeks with elder Lemich!! yay!! i love it here the members are sweet and oh man, its just awesome! its going to be a great!!! great!! transfer!!!
lets see what else... bahh i think thats about it.
have a great week and i love ya!

hey family!
how are you guys doing today?
well, in fact this week was kind of crazy and not very effective at all.
we were in clermont until wednesday and came back to st etienne after that. after which we had during the week a couple of rendezvous fall through and not very good success finding. oh well i guess. but, we did have a great experience saturday night watching conference (the saturday morning session haha). we went to our recent convert families home ( the Chengs ) and ate some good food with them, another member, and a couple of non members, (all of which were chinese so the food was way yummy) then we watched a session of conference, and that session rocked yay! it was so much fun, basically like home :) then on sunday we went to lyon because they don't have it set up to play conference in St etienne. and spent the day there listening to the prophets, i didnt get to see the sunday afternoon session and so i'm hopeing that it was way cool and all that but at the same time not because i missed it ahhh! anyways now we're in st etienne and are going to our bishops house out in the country today. anyways thanks for everything have a great week!
