Angers is soooo cool

Angers is soooo cool! It's such a nice and clean city. It's really pretty. Elder Burgess is a balla. he's the second companion I've had from New Zealand. haha

This week has been super crazy but super awesome. There is a lot of work going on here and I'm so glad to be part of it. A man contacted us and he really really wants to be a Mormon and he wants to have his family raised up in the church and that's what his wife wants too. As soon as they get a testimony of the Book of Mormon they will be baptized. He is from Cypress and she is french.  He is not working right now so he sits at home and watches Mormon messages and reads the Book of Mormon. He also watches American news.

So on Saturday we had 7 rendez-vous fixed and confirmed and they all, one by one, ended up not happening. I have never had to pray so much in one day just for the strength to not give up and go home, but then finally we found someone who was an answer to our prayers. He said he is going to get all of his friends together and we can teach them all too. At first I was kind of afraid because he was just talking about how if there is a God there would be no wars and how America is a religious country and we're always at war, but by the end of the night he really wanted to listen to what we had to say about the plan of salvation. He wants us to "put all of our knowledge in his head."

The coat that I was wearing was in our closet in cergy when I got there. kinda like manna.

I don't really know how much money I need for Christmas, but during the month of January there is a government enforced sale all month long called soldes. So I might pick up some stuff then. I don't know like $40? (stuff is expensive here)

theres a big castle here that is super cool.

We live right in centreville and I really like it because when I look out the window in the morning I know that I am in France.

and also prez and his wife are from this city and their family all lives here, so there is a lot of pressure haha
