Hello Everyone!!
So transfers happened this week. I got this cool missionary from Salt Lake
City. His name is Elder Smith. He is 6'4". He likes basketball.
It was rather sad saying goodbye to Elder Rigby, but it's all good. Totes
gonna miss that guy. Elder Kendall is also done with his mission, too, which is
rather sad. I'll miss him too. I've started to realize that the mission has a
lot of new beginnings, but has some of the most endings/goodbye's that I've ever
seen.
So this week we did lots of searching, with little finding. But we will
continue to search for those that are prepared. There is a family that just
moved into the ward boundaries that is interested in the church. I'm really
excited to meet them.
This past week I wasn't able to buy new socks. But I just may today. It
depends. Elder Smith kinda wants to go see centreville and we're not sure at all
if stores will be open (HAPPY INDEPENDANCE DAY IN FRANCE!!) :D
So lately there has been this huge event in La Rochelle called
Francofolies. Which is like over 100 concerts in 4-5 days. Today is the last
day, and I am SUPER excited for it to be done. It's great that huge events
happen, but missionary work isn't too practical when all you end up contacting
is tourists that speak neither french nor english.
Also, I think I may be catching a cold...which is weird because it's pretty
hot here in La Rochelle. But I'm hoping to overcome it soon. It shouldn't be any
problem and I'm doing what I can to take care of it.
Yesterday, Christian was conferred a member of the church. Man, he was
absolutely just beaming. The bishop talked to him after church about preparing
to recieve the Aaronic Priesthood in 2 to 3 weeks. Let's just say he is
absolutely excited for this new journey he has taken for his life. It's been
amazing to see his progression and his enthusiasm in wanting to learn and
grow.
I'm not really sure what else to say, not much happened this past week...
:p sorry. Although, I do have a question, when are the iPad's supposed to come
out to Europe?
Oh, and I should be starting my 2nd year legality sometime within the next
two weeks. I got an email saying that I need to start it. It's crazy how fast
time moves on.
Well, I love you all! :)
