10-21

 

So this week was good. Things are starting to roll.

 

That's pretty sweet about Bradley scoring the game winning goal, but its too bad he hates soccer. I am going to need him to train with me when I get back from my mission for that month before I go to Virginia. Sorry I didnt say last week but thats super cool that Bradley made the A team, but I could still ham on him. There is no way that he can take me. I'll slam lay up in his face.

 

That's pretty cool that the home teachers came over. We get asked to do people's home teaching all the time and I'm kinda like "... do you want us to find investigators or not?"

 

There is a man that lives 2 hours away in a tiny town. He has been taught by missionaries living in a different sector, but they're like "he's too far and he actually lives in your boundries. " so they passed him to us. He's super nice. He is in a wheelchair because half  of his body is paralyzed. He really wants to be baptized, but he cant because he cant come to church. (He doesnt have a car) but in a couple weeks he is going to move into Paris. He'll be able to go to church there easly because of the metro. So we're going to prepare him to be baptized here but he'll do it in a different ward.

 

The man who came to church last week is really cool. He was a gospel singer and he gave us CDs. He came to stake conference with us in Versailles and he really like it. Tonight we are teaching him at the bishop's house and doing FHE.

 

So yeah stake conference was yesterday and it was pretty cool. It was across the street from the chateau de versailles just like last year and the theme was "the search for excellence." Its was pretty spiritual. There was a choir that had the missionaries who serve in Versailles in it and they sang very VERY high. I was talking to the missionaries after about it and the sisters said that they couldnt go that high? They just opened their mouths, but it was a good choir. It was also cool to see pretty much the whole ward from Cergy. and P_____ and F_______ were there. and F_______ got on one knee and kissed my knuckles. (He said he really missed me) but it was good to see that they're still active and going strong.

 

Also when we were driving there we got to see the area where they have started work on the temple. it is a VERY nice neighborhood. I hope it looks really pretty, but it is also really close to a busy road.

 

The bishop rented a car to drive us there. It was a Renault Clio. It was super super small and we fit 5 huge guys in it. Let's just say there was no air or space or comfort, but it was nice of him to do.

 

There's not much more to say. I'm almost a hundy percent sure that I will be staying here for next transfer.

 

I thought of something really funny that would make you guys laugh really hard, but I dont remember, so now i feel dumb.

 

How do you make dirty shirts white? I feel like if I can do that then I dont need to buy new ones.

 

I feel like I dont even know Andrew or Bradley anymore.

 

So I don't think you understand when I tell you how GHETTO this place is. The other day there was a knife fight out in the streets.  There are some areas that are super nice, like mansions, but most is just not good. I don't know how to beat around the bush--- it just aint pretty or clean. There are  2 dead cats down the street from our apartment... from last week.

 

Don't worry about me. I take multivitamins everyday, so I prob wont get sick and we usually stay away from knife fights. So I feel like it'll all be good.
