So yeah i just got done reading all of the emails and they were freaking awesome. I was sad to hear about grandma Rowley passing away but the plan of salvation is something that must be remembered. It gives so much comfort. Also speaking of God's plan for us, It was so cool to here about Andilyn!!!!! Welcome to the world little Chou chou! French things.... Anyway she is welcomed! What fun news! Ha also all of the other news from around the house is super funny. I'm sorry that you are still busy with work mom and DAD! Geez but thank you for working and sacrificing for all of us! It means the world to me. Also i am happy to hear that you had a good birthday mom! I was really hoping that it would go well! I love love loved your emails thank you thank you thank you AND......THANK YOU FOR THE FREAKING PACKAGE!!!!! iT WAS LITERALLY AND UNDEFIABLY THE GREATEST EVER!!!!! I saw the Cheez-its and i about lost it! I literally screamed for about 37 seconds exactly! Ha one of the funner moments for me so far.Thank you so much i loved it all so much. I still haven't gotten the shaver charger but Elder Paul has the same kind of Razor that i have so i can charge it on his for the moment. But yes thank you i love you all! I need to send a letter to connor and to carson still so i will be getting on the way pretty soon. Any way thank you for all the emails and messages. I love them all and right now i am so happy. Thank you also for putting some much needed money into my account. I was running low but i have been using it on clothes and things like that literally the essentials. I think i will be ok on shoes for the moment. I bought a cheaper french pair which is like buying shoes from walmart so we'll see how long those will last. Hint (birthday) new shoes....eckos from the missionary store size 14 the narrower the better :) NOT ECHOS with the stupid rhino looking thing on them because those aren't the good kind but the ones from palmeroys or whatever are the good ones. Don't listen to what the guys say are better. Just get the Eckos Lol!!!!! I walk a ton and i have heavy big feet that just tear through shoes. So yeah thank you. I am trying to be frugal i promise and if that is way to much to do then i will just periodically buy french shoes. Also there is an umbrella here called a Veritable de Cherbourg and it is the most beautiful umbrella i have ever seen. It is 110 Euros so i will await your next email to see if i can get that. At the moment it is not necessary by any means it would be more of a souvenir. Maybe i can just wait until we do a mission tour. By the way do you still plan on coming to pick me up? I would love that. any way i think that is all the boring stuff now on to my week.
So today was fun. We finally had a fun day because this week has been trying. We did teach more lesson than normal but it was difficult too. We got Fruged or cancelled on a whole bunch and also got dropped by claudine my favorite amie. She had to stop with the lessons because er husband was not happy with her at all.... Also i told you about Sarah who needed us to bless the house?... Well we went to her house twice and she wasn't there and in between these visits we actually saw her and she is having some problems with the government and her residency all of a sudden. So we are being tried but I WILL NOT LET CHERBOURG BEAT ME! Cherbourg has killed lots of missionaries and i am not going to be one of them. I really real REALLY want to see someone i teach get baptized but that is according to the Lords time and the people agency. I kinda am not going to talk about Blois for a while or at least the Baptism situation because the two lazy and pagan missionaries there righ now aren't doing crap and Ousmane and Chris have still not been baptized. I can't stand it. Max and Harlotte have not been seen by the missionaries and all the other amis were forgotten at the moment so until a good solid missionary goes in there i am going to hold off on talking of them. Here our ami situation is good but could improve. We are trying really hard to be obedient and do what is write but sometimes we can only do so much. We did meet a really cool guy named Sebastian though who is really tight. WE met him on tuesday and then had a rendez-vous with him the next day! It went really well so we will see what happens. I really want to baptize though. So i just hope and literally pray so hard that that will happen. I just want someone i love to be baptized! I guess that is that. As far as other things not much has happened. Elder paul is good and works hard. We work so hard together but sometimes because we have some of the same intrests in music and sports sometimes the spirit of the conversation shifts and i don't like that to much. But Elder Paul is a really great guy and we are getting along really well. Almost half way through already! Haha We will be in Paris next week and the week after so i am really stoked for that. But yeah i think that is it for the moment.
I really hope all is going super well and you can all feel my love. I will send letters soon! I promise! I love you all!
