Oh ma famille!
Thank you for all your wonderful messages! They meant so much to me, and I can't tell you how much I love you all! I loved the birthday cards I recieved from you all, and I love the tie! I took a photo just for you momma! It was a pleasant surprise to hear all those messages from my friends! I was so happy that you got a message from Chantel King and Blake! Mac is a great singer, he should hit the high note during the birthday song ha ha! I love the Munns, it was perfect to hear from them on my birthday!
I had an interesting Birthday ha ha, I included it in my message, but I will tell you again. You all know me, I'm very clumsy... well yesterday morning I stubbed my toe hardcore on a barbel that was on the floor and I may have broken my toe. Poor little guy, you can see a picture I included. I am just a magnet for accidents. Don't worry, I will be fine! But for that reason I will be holding off on buying new shoes. I do need a new umbrella however! Then after that it was actually a pretty tranquil day. We didn't do a whole lot of walking because of my toe, so we did some work in our apartment. We did a little contacting however and it was funny. We were rejected several times and Elder Sautron told me it was because I wasn't limping enough, Sympathy trick, however the limping came natural, my toe was killing me!
It was just another day, I didn't feel much different than I did any other day. However, I said a prayer yesterday to bless my food, and I couldn't help but express my thanks to Heavenly Father for sending me into the world 20 years ago. More importantly, thanking Him for my Mother who bore me. Mother Thank you so much, you have given me everything I could ask for; the gift of life. I guess I owe thanks to Dad too, after all I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the both of you! Thank you for all the great memories, and all your love. I feel liked all I did was blink and 20 years of my life are passed before me. I didn't really think of the idea that I will not be a teen anymore, wow mom.
Today we bought a patisserie and celebrated a little bit. I put some homemade "candles" in my patisserie and took a video to prove it! There are 20 there, believe me I counted several times! After watching the video, I want excuse myself ... Since I have been here in France I talk different and am a little awkard when I talk in english. Frankly my voice is a little bit higher and I sound a little girly ha ha ha. Don't laugh too hard about that... it's not funny for me... :{ I'm a man I tell you, A MAN!!!!!!!Anyways, we have some sweet investigators right now; two are engaged for baptism on the 12th! Vanessa Juillerac is a young mother origins from the Réunion. She and her husband Benoit have a little boy named Evine. She and her husband have worked with the missionaries for a long time and it is a blessing that she has hanged on this long! At first we were just preparing for the date, but now she tells us she is ready! Her husband isn't quite ready however. He needs to pray for the truth and received a testimony, but he is just afraid to do it. Please pray for him so that he can join his wife and be baptized together! That is her desire too! And then of course I told you about Conchita, the spanish women who lives below us. She is preparing for the same date, and frankly she is ready! She had some soucies about giving up the Jehova's Witness, but after some work with her she is ready to make the covenant!
We had a district meeting this last week in Perpignan, and it was great! President Carter and Sœur Carter were there, that is why I sent you the email with all the photos. The first photo is of our District.
I have a few other silly photos that I will be including, but I will be sending the memory stick today too! I don't think I have much else to say, other than I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!
Love your son, God be with you until we meet again,

20 YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
