Well hi! So some good things have happened! It was kinda tough leaving Cherbourg and to travel 8 hours by train and haul around two really heavy suitcases but on a bright note Limoges is really COOL!!!!! It is a 4 flower ville meaning that a board of people got together and decided how to rate a ville on its look and style tourist attractions and some other little things and 4 is the highest! Woo hoo! Blois and Cherbourg were also 4 flower villes! So yeah i have been pretty lucky! My new companion Elder Silvester is a great guy and is not how i expected. I thought he was weird when really he was super positive and i was the weirdo because i wasn't as cheerful as him. He has so much optimism and always stays postive and makes me feel loved. Even though we are from really different worlds, he is only from provo but still, he is a lot like me! So yeah it is going good already! And the Ward is absolutely outstanding!!!!! Goodness Gracious i love being in a ward. I can actually see a large group of worthy worshiping members! It is so great i can't even explain. And the building here is so pretty! It is just like an american building except it doesn't look like all the american ones if that makes sense. Ha funny thing though hahaha our bishop has a funny name. Like a really funny name and i figure i tell you now so you don't think i am swearing later. His name is Frère Jacas, and it is pronounced EXACTLY like the swear.... It is pretty funny and i need to just get used to it but is so funny! Also there are quite a bit of spanish members here! I need to know the last name and the name of Rosa's branch in Catalonia! Thanks ha! Also mom you would be so proud of me I cook all of the meals and i have came up with some really cool recipes on my own! They are all pretty healthy too!
So work in Limoges has been really slow for a while now and i am determined as is Elder Silvester to change it around. To many missionaries have come thrrough here with a complacent mind set and i am not going to be like that. I want this place to turn around like Cherbourg did. Heavenly father is helping us do our best too. We have already given out 4 book of Mormons and have gotten 3 numbers from them in just a couple days and have set up two rendez-vous for later on today. We'll see what happens but i think good thins are going to happen here. We are going to be obedient and also work our best to Contact and find the people who are ready for the gospel. Also they people here are SOOOOO much nicer than those in Normandie. The people there are horrible i guess just vey fenced off and very fixed in their ways here people are very open and almost care free. Maybe because it is the only city in our mission that was never a part of occupied Germany. I don't know but i love it. Honestly things are going good and being with a comp who is in love with Limoges helps a lot too! He loves this area and is always striving to work his hardest! So yeah it is pretty cool! I live right next to a huge Cathedral and next to lots of Churchs and also the place is huge! Well compared to my other villes! It is about the same size and looks the same as Caen in Normandie. I love it honestly!
So yeah for the moment that is it. If other things happen i will definately fill you in! I love you all so much and look forward to hearing back from you! See Ya.....well in a while but Talk to you later!!!!!
