3-3

hey guys! Everything is really good in Angers. On the 14th there is a member of the Seventy coming to talk to the missionaries, so were doing a lot to be prepared for him to come here. I'm really excited.

The suit that I bought is just plain black, but has a lime green inside.

So we saw a lot of the members this week. Something that president told us to do was to go to the members' homes and bless them so that they'll be a "pôle d'attraction" for people who search the gospel. That means that people who seach the gospel will be attracted there, like a moth to a light. The word for moth is "papillon de nuit" (butterfly of the night) haha

We saw a lot of members this week and did that. I could really feel the power of the priesthood and I'm so grateful to hold the priesthood, I know that its really the power of God.

This week was pretty weird, we didn't see ANY of our amies because they all rescheduled or cancelled, so we did a lot of finding and every single lesson we taught was on the streets.

Testimony meetings here are pretty much mostly like in America. The bishop stands up and says keep it short and don't tell stories.... and then people get up and tell long stories, reminds me of home.

I got my glasses and they are pretty bent and don't really fit on my head. and also the frames are cracked. but I don't really think there is anything we can do about it.  Also why did you send them in the stereo case? Now where is the stereo going to go? Does the jeep even get used?

Thomas, the ward mission leader, is super great at his calling. Sometimes he is a little too good. He wants to go at 100 miles per hour all the time, even when we cant, so that's good and bad, but hes super great.

dad- I'm glad you're getting a lot of work. I hope my mission isn't too expensive for the family.

Andrew- when you said "flapjacks" it made me think of flapjack "a hundred pieces of candy... that's like a MILLION pieces of candy!!!!"  My new comp doesn't like the tv show Drake and Josh, so I cant say anything funny, because all my jokes come from Drake and Josh.

Bradley...you're right 5 years is not a long time before you go on your mission, so get ready now because you're going to go to Africa.
