Family,

Sorry this is going to have to be a quick email this week. I was not able to write yesterday because it is a holiday and here in France the day after Easter everything closes down. So we don't have to much time today. Well it is good to here about every ones week. Dad and Bay Happy Birthday!!! I hope that you both have a great one. I think i will have to do something small to celebrate it here, like bye a pastry and eat it for you haha. Well it is too bad to hear about Bryce's knee and Bay's noses. You two need to be careful, haha. Like that will stop you. Well that is great that Bryce is getting his eagle this week and i can't believe he is starting his mission papers, wow. Have you heard how Tanner is liking the MTC yet? I am glad that you all had a great Easter. This last week has been a great week, but very difficult at the same time. We had a good week and were able to see a lot of people. The hard part was we have been putting extra time and effort into finding new people, but we did not find a new ami this week. That is life some time we will keep it up and i am sure that as we keep working and praying we will find the ones who are ready for the gospel. Well my Easter was a really good day. I was able to meet everyone in the Branch, because last week was conference and i was not able to meet them all. It was a really good meeting and i really felt the spirit. We had our ami there and she really enjoyed it. Then after a member invited us and our ami over for an Easter lunch. It was a really nice lunch. The French love to have really big and elaborate lunches, but it was really good so i can't complain. Then we visited another ami we are teaching and after finish up the day knocking doors. It was really cool because people were so nice to us. It might have been because it is a holiday, but either way you have to love it when everyone is really friendly to the missionaries. This week i have been really studying about time. At first it started with how can i use my time effectively here and i ended up learning a lot. It is cool to think that God has given us all time here on earth to do our best to learn and grow. We have both happy and difficult times and through it all we progress. The real thing is when you look at it all is how are you going to use the small about of time that God has given you. I found that the best way to use your time to make yourself and God happy is to use it in the service of others. God's work is to bring about the eternal life of man and if you help in that great work, God will bless you. Well things are great here in Dunkerque. Keep us in your prays, we are excited to see the work move forward and to help the branch here grow. Have a great week! Je t'aime!!
