Well Hey!

LONDON?!?!?!?!?! You guys are insane but so incredibly lucky to be going and seeing all of these awesome places i miss that so much and i really won't be able to do that as much as they do.  I am legitamently jealous.  When i get back i will have to start working and school and all of that jazz so i don't think i will be able to do all of that stuff.  to bad i am sure i will visit stuff but still you know.  I miss you guys so much and knowing that you are on my side of the world is crazy to me.  You will probably run into a lot of french, indian and muslim people over there.  that will be a fun cultural experience LOL!  If french people talk to you tell them, Je ne sais pas comment parler en français mais si vous voulez j'ai un membre de ma famille qui habite à Limoges et si vous voulez vous pouvez parler avec lui un petit peu plus! Woo Hoo!  tell me how it goes as i lose sleep over the fact you are partying in London!

Ok well anyway things in limoges are same old same old.  I can't remember if i told you about our little asian amie who is so awesome Qiong-Ji but she is so legit and we had a wonderful couple rendez-ous with her recently but the thing that stinks is that she will be going to Nogent which is right next to paris for Two weeks for vacation so we won't see her for a coulpe weeks.  All of our other amis are doing good i feel.  Annette, we are seeing tomorrow oh and this weekend we did service over at her parents house and it was just so so so so much fun not going to lie.  they were so nice to us!  they made us a little lunch and they also did some little grocery shopping for us!  they bought us basically snacks that normally we don't have money to buy so it was just so sweet of them!  they are seriously so wonderful!  

So yeah that is that.  Work here in limoges hasn't stopped but it has slowed down because we have been really only giving our time to the amis who are showing efforts of progression.  those who are just here because we are nice guys we have stopped seeing so a lot of the work that we had been doing has stopped only so we could be more efficient.  Well in 4 weeks from now i will be learning about my next ville and companion and to be honest i think about it alot because well i have been here a while and i think i will be moving and to be honest i need to move.  I am happy and everything is good but it is just time for a change.  However i could be with elder awerkamp my whole mission.  He is solid and he is so fun.  I can't wait to hang out with him after the mission!  haha i already am with him 24/7 but like after we can do normal stuff.....With girls and dates and stuff hahaha.  Ha i miss dating. But it is ok LOL it can wait!

so i forgot to mention our miracle story for the week.  We met this lady who is so totally awesome!!!  Her name is Sharon and she is from england.  She is 29 and a mother of 4, Ages 7, 5, 2, and 1!  She is so sweet.  she appraoahed us on the bus and told us that she heard us speaking english and wanted to speak because she didn't like speaking french all the time!  so then we introduced ourselves as the missionaries and she then started asking questions and really opened up to us.  She said that she needs faith but doesn't know how to find it.  She said that sometimes she would find herself subconsciously praying for help to a god she didn't know.  she finally asked us if we could help her understand more of these simple priciples.  We said....YES!  so we taught her just a couple days after and just laid down a foundation of who we are and why we teach and stuff like that but we really hope for big things with her!

Alrighty well i hope you are doing well!  I miss you all so much!  You need to try Ginger Beer when you are in england!  It is so good and it is not alcohol i promise!  Ha i love you send ^pictures!!! Until next week!!!!
