Week 12

Family,

That is sad to hear about Roy, Elder Wood called and told me while we were on our way to the internet café. It is good to know that he is in a better place though and to see how many people have been blessed by his life.

It was nice to hear that the week went so good for everyone. I hope that the River House was fun. Well for me it has been a crazy week so i am just going to start at the start and go through. oh and a side not it is Pain au chocolat i have been saying it wrong and ordered it wrong and just found out hahah de au close enough hahah the language is comming but sad to say from conference it is like the sun comming nice and slowing not like turning on a light hahah no really i have been working really hard on the language and it is getting alot better.

Well so on monday after i talked to you i went and say the Cathedral in Tours and then got a huge pastrie that tour is known for so that was really fun i will try to send some pics after this. Ok then the next morning during comp study Elder Gardner's shoulder came out of it socket and it was bad. So i helped him on the ground so he could lay down and then he said on you are going to put it back in because that is the only way to make the pain go away. (side not he had a accident about a year ago that this happened and it came out while playing bball in the MTC and because he had it in a weird position laying down it came out because he had not done full strengthening after the MTC any ways) so he said i will walk you through it and on my 4th try i got it back in. Haha i was frecking out but it took for times because in his pain he forgot one of the steps in puting it back in the first three trys and who could blame him i mean really. But i was going crazy so any ways that day was mostly resting and then helping him ice and get a sling and stuff. Well the nest day we did exchanges and i ended up going with Elder Coleman and Elder Wood came with my comp. So i went down to Blois it is east of Tours and all the appointments fell through so i knocked doors and contacted fot 5 hours hahah it was scary because Elder Coleman was in his third transfer so his french was still not really strong and i had to talk alot, but in the end it was good for me to practice my french. Oh and it started raining after the first hour so we were all wet. So if you start to feel extra blessed thats why hahah just kidding. Welll the next day we had a district meeting in Blois so after that i went back with my comp to Tours. We could only get a latter train so did not have much time and just planed for that night. Then Friday was more normal we went and taught a less active names Dominique and he said he would watch conference. oh and found out that the castle we always walk by opens next week so that is cool i am excited to go. Then we helped a member that lived across the street from the Church move he is moving to Paris to be with his wife becasue he was going to school here and whe was going to school there and they only saw each other on the weekends so he was really excited to be done. Well he went to England on his mission so spoke pritty good english and i found out that his Dad is going to be the new mission President in July so that is cool he said he would put in a good word for me. haha. Ok so ok Sat we had a crazy day haha we had to catch a train at eight that morning so and we studied on the hour trian ride to the bottom of our area to meet with a memeber an older lady from England who had asked for our help well Elder Gardeners help because it was with computers and also he husband is less active. Well she picks us up at the train station and her car is covered in fur and she it like sorry the other car broke and this is the car i take the dogs around in. So we start to talk about her dogs (it was a thirty min car ride to her farm) and then we ask so how many dogs do you have..... she said 47 well 48 one is at the vet. hahahah what. so we get to her farm and go through an old broken down building that the horses stay in to get to her house and then we heard barking comming from every direction and there were so many dogs luckyly most were locked up. then she opened her door to the house and like five more dogs come running out and two are the biggest dogs ever but they were nice and so i just was malled by all these dogs any ways while Elder Gardner helped with the computer i just sat and listen to her tell all about her life for 3 hours. Then we taught a lesson and she told us her conversion story and that was really cool so haha fun morning. well when we got back and had to change and wash everything because it all smelled like dog and i mean everything it was so funny. Then we rushed over to the church to clean it because it was our week so we did that and then we found out they would not be playing it in english so we went to the cyber café and watched the morning session hahah at night because of the time change. It was really fun and we bought conference snacks so that was good. Well on sunday the english room for conference was not working so we watched the Priesthood session in French that was really hard but i got alot our of it still. Then we all ate at the church and watched the Sat afternoon session that was being broad casted and this time they found out that they just needed to press one button and the english now worked so i got to watch that one in english. After that session an amis we had invited showed up because he mixed up times and so we taught him a lesson and he could not stay til six to watch the Sun morning one. Well then everyone went home to watch it online and we watched the sunday morning session all alone in the church bld it was funny having a whole bld to ourself. We did not get to see the last session becasue we have to go to bed a Ten thirty and the last one starts at ten here, so then we walked home becuase on sunday buses stop at eight and then went to be. i am excited because Elder Gardner just downloaded all of conference so i can hear Priesthood session in english and then listen to sun afternoon too. woot woot. So all is good here. It really was a good week. I am so pumped after conference to just work even harder. Oh and are investigator Mary Joe who we could not get a hold of for like a month called and was like sorry my phone did not work because i was in a clinic and they were running tests and keeping her there because she broken her feet. Well she called and told us what happened and was like don't even think for a second you lost me it was funny. also we told her about conference and for like ten min on the phone she went on how awesome it is that we get to hear the prophete and apostle and how everyone should be able to hear them. Also Pamala who is a new amis was not able to see us this week but we are planning to meet soon so we are hoping that goes well. Ok well i love you all and hope that you enjoyed confence. Hope to hear back and all about your lifes.
