Hey!
How is everyone doing?
Its been a pretty good week. we've had a lot of fun! the end...
no i'm just kidding.

So actually let's see. this week has been a little weird because we seem to have been late to EVERYTHING.... kind of annoying if you ask me. i guess we need to work on our planning or something but it's been ok.. we've been working with a lot of members and trying to help them get into the missionary spirit which has been very successful.
We went and ate with this older lady and a younger recent convert and she is really cool (and cooks good) so it was great. the recent convert is a younger guy from the Ivory Coast. its funny because everyone's getting excited for the world cup.. and the ivory coast made it in so he's excited. elder Zarate is the most excited of all i think and its not for a couple months and he wont even be able to watch it! thats ok though because i told him i'd watch a couple games for him :P.
other than seeing members we have a couple of amis that are pretty cool. One is this guy that is from bern (speaks like 5 languages perfectly...including english). I dont know why but everyone speaks english here (a lot of people) so i have to keep on top of the french or it will disappear! (not really but that would be sad.) anyways this guy is way way intellectual and anyways its good. then like a couple of people we are working with have already seen the missionaries before and were pretty close to being baptized which is cool because they still have good feelings towards the church and we're looking forward to working with them.
Yesterday we went on an Exchange with the elders from Dijon. They came here and i went with elder Ellis. He is like 6'5" and it was funny because everyone was like scared when they opened the door, and the members that we saw were like...YOU ARE HUGE!!! and stuff like that. it was funny. and fun because he's a way good sport and a cool elder.
we had a great exchange and actually it was the best exchange that elder Ellis has had on his mission i guess. so i was pretty happy. other than that tomorrow is zone conference so we've been working on what we are supposed to teach and like hopeing it goes well.
and thats about it for me i guess thanks for all your emails!

lets see if there are any questions...
well i'd rather not talk about school stuff but... i dont really remember what schools i applied for, i know i got accepted to SUU and BYU. umm oh and to get scholarships for BYU you have to apply for them i believe... also uhh... i wouldnt mind going to a school in idaho if i get a scholarship, boise state would be cool. but thats the only one i would want to (good football team!) oh sorry they didnt have any kleenex for you Kesh. thats too bad...

i dunno how alma knows about the questions that coriantumr has... very likely that it was the gift of discernment though.. or the spirit. (he was pretty good that alma guy...)

i'm good!

you can let me know what happens in the super bowl... :P
(this is me answering questions if you dont remember...in case you were lost)
oh this one isnt a question but i hear that bien venue chez les ch'tis is a pretty good movie...of course the jokes will be in french... so that would be hard but if you want you should check it out...

ok no more questions! love you have a great week!
