Fasting, porting, lizard, bed bugs, exploded duck liver

I was going to set my alarm for 3:00 in the morning because that's about the time that Elder Guymon's last two e mails came, but I didn't because I needed my sleep (today was the first day of school, so the first day back to work for me) and I figured I should be able to wait until 7:00 to read his e mails.  When I got up, I rushed to the computer before my eyes were even focused.  There were two e mails from William in my in box, so that was exciting.  The first one was a short e mail.  Here are the highlights---

Cergy is pretty cool.   There's a lot of missionary work to be done. This Saturday was supposedly the hottest day of the year in France? and Elder Webber and I fasted (fasting is to go without food or drink). WORST IDEA EVER. haha.

We went bat porting yesterday in a bat that was BEYOND ghetto. (bat is slang for the french word for building).

The smallest lizard in the world got into my bookbag.

In the second e mail, he mostly just responded to the e mail our family sent to him Sunday evening. 

He talked to Andrew about a Playstation game.  To Bradley he discussed Bradley's desire to serve his mission in Russia.  He stated that he misses Bradley and he also didn't want Bradley to ruin any of his hats, then he corrected himself and instead said that he just wanted Bradley to buy him some new hats in two years. 

He told me that he loves his mission and that he is having fun (with an exclamation mark!).  I asked him if he teaches individuals or families and he said about half and half.  They are supposed to bring members with them when they teach lessons. 

He also mentioned that he was scheduled to go on splits in an area known as St. Ouen, but the Elder's apartment in St. Ouen had bed bugs, so he didn't go there, so they wouldn't spread.  He was happy about that!

He is worried that he wont be eligible to play soccer for SVU when he gets home. 

He sends us our e mail from the church building. 

I had asked him if he remembered his MTC teacher's story about being mugged, but he answered, "Yeah, D....... got "mugged" in Cergy, but he didn't even get punched".  (he was not impressed enough, I guess)

Then Elder Guymon wrote to his dad.  He told him that he has eaten an exploded duck liver.

They get around sometimes by riding on the subway, which is sometimes kind of scary, but he just walks past all the people who stare at him and/or give him a hard time.
