Hey Family!
hows everyone doing?
it was good to hear everyones voices (jesse i heard yours on your answering machine, a couple times before the real you but that works too haha) it sounds like everyone is doing really good and had a pretty good first couple hours of christmas! haha how was the rest?
well i had this whole list of things that i was going to talk about with you but i somewhat forgot to bring it so i'll see how well i can do.
first off this week has been pretty ok. we had our bible class about the life of christ and it was mostly just reading a couple scriptures in the Book of Mormon (which one of the people there asked if it was the bible like 5 times) and sang songs and everything. it was good. then on wednesday night and thursday afternoon we went to the members house who lives right next door to us for dinner and lunch christmas eve and christmas. it was good but like i said, it was a little weird. (as well as weird french people and not my family haha.) but that was good so ya.
then lets see. nothing too exciting happened since then. on sunday i went to chruch with my glasses on, and when the bishop said hi to us he said "ahh un nouveux missionaire" (ah a new missionary) and i was just thinking oh funny guy, yep i'm wearing glasses so i look different, and i kept walking and i turned and looked and he kind of gave me a strange look... so i went and i sat down and a few seconds later he walks over to me and i was like oh no here it comes (laughing in my head), and he asks, "vous venez de quelle parroise?" (your from which ward) and me being all ready for it said well "ca fait 4 semaine que je suis ici" (its been 4 weeks since i've been here) ididnt say it in a mean way just oh its just been four weeks since i've been here, i've been to your house a couple times ya know stuff like that haha!!! it was funny, he felt way stupid but i try to compound on it at all. (the first counselor did that, he burst out in laughter, it was his house we went to for christmas) anyways funny story. so i'm going to wear contacts next week and wear my different suit and a different tie and do my hair different to see what happens! haha.
umm but ya other than that nothing much is going on.
love you guys have a great week!

hey family once again its preparation day.
So this week like last wasnt that exciting. also because my companion was a little sick. but yesterday was good.
we went to church and then afterward we went with the bishop and his wife and the relief society president to the bishops house and ate food. (kinda weird, some weird vegetable idk...) then we went to go visit less actives that live a long ways away from the church. (like 2 hours or something) so anyway we start our trip and its taking a while and (aparantly also you have to pay to use the freeways ugh...) we end up in the mountains and its snowing like crazy and we're moving like a half a mile an hour and yeah... just taking a long time but we finally get to the places that we're going and its really cool because you could tell that if the people could come to church they would. so the spirit was really strong and yeah..; just a great experience.
thats all for me though really
love ya!
