Oh family!!!
Another week come and gone.(I stole that from you!) It was a good week! The work is going well, and we are continuing to find lots of people!
Monday we went to the CASTLE!!! It was so cool! You would love it! It is so much bigger when you get up close. I would have to so that we only seen 1/8 of the castle ha ha. I took lots of photos so don't worry!
I had another exchange on Thursday and I spent the day with Elder Wilson, our Zone Leader in Montpellier! He is actually going to die in two weeks, that means in mission language, his is going to finish up his mission in two weeks. It is so nice being in a bigger city... you drive EVERYWHERE ha ha. I almost forgot what it felt like to walk after! We ate at Subway too, hmmmm I love subway!
During the exchange I actually did another exchange. Elder Wilson had to do a baptismal interview with an investigator to another companionship in Montpellier. It wasn't more than an hour and a half, but It was a good little 2nd exchange too. It was with Elder Herring. You will see that I have included a photo with Elder Herring in the back left, Elder Meservy in the Back right, Elder Wilson driving, and then of course me!
Oh and Wednesday was Frère Vital's birthday! We celebrated it with some of his amazing Vietmanise cooking. Hmmm egg rolls!! I'll include some photos!
I didn't remark this last week, but tell Louis congradulations! I'm so happy he is getting married in the temple! What a happy story :) Speaking of which, isn't Dillion's Birthday coming up? Can you tell him Happy birthday for me?
This week we have Zone Conference, I'm excited! It is Wednesday! We only have one Zone Conference in a transfer now, it is a little sad.
Few experiences and encounters while prosyliting:
A while back we met a lady that said, "I know the Mormons, I used to be married to one... GET AWAY FROM ME!" You can imagine our reaction, YIKES! It is a lot stronger in your native language. We met this Venezuelian guy the other day who speaks english. He believes in mystical powers and voodoo and what not. It was interesting. My companion actually was given a small slap to the face the other day by an old man. We have no idea what he was talking about, something about an activity for his own church, and then he gave my companion a nice grandpa smack to the cheek ha ha.
Aside from all the crazy people we meet, we meet some really great people as well! While walking home one day, we were offered a ride by a stranger into the city. STRANGER DANGER!!! We politely declined, and explained where we were going wasn't far. Afterwards my companion felt bad because the guy was really nice, and we could have shared the Gospel with him. Well, the next day we seen him in the city! He actually contacted us and told us he who he was! It was sweet! We got his information and thanked Heavenly Father for the Tender Mercy!
Frere Vital taught us a little karate too(not sure if I told you).... I was the test dummy however and he DID NOT hit lightly ha ha ha.
Oh and yes I listend to conference in English, No I haven't recieved your letter mom!
Well that is all this week! I love you and can't wait to hear from you again! --
