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!
