It's A CANADIEN!!!‏

Yes i am now a father in the mission!  My son's name is Elder Reed and he is from Calgary, Alberta, Canada!  My son is so great!  Super BLUE but i love him!  He has so much faith and so much confidence in himself even though he is totally new!  He also is picking up french already which is good.  President Poznanski called us up to see how he was doing and to see if we was speaking as much french as possible.  Elder Reed said "i'm doing my best, English doesn't seem to working to well!" HAHA oh son....  Me and him are really trying to speak as much french outside of the apartment as possible so that he can get used to it a little bit more.  But i have a lot of confidence in him already.  He has awesome drive and is super open to any miracle.  He has no preconceived notions of the French and is willing to do all it takes to baptize.  That's my BOY!  Also one of the most difficult and irritating things that we have to do as missionaries can be companionship study.  He rocks at it.  We have such a great study together.  It is also nice having the new trainer program to go along with in our efforts.  I feel like i am getting back to the basics and this program is more so to train trainers what they wanted their trainers to be when they got out into the field.  This is honestly going to be great.

Unfortunately me and him are a bit ill for the moment.  He is having cold/flu like symptoms and has hardly slept at all this week.  I have a sore neck, tight throat, head ache and some congestion.  On verra bien.  I hope it nothing to sreious.  I know that i am already fed up with it! Things have slowed down a little here but that does give us more time to find people and get things started.....AGAIN. But we'll just pray and hope for the best.  But yeah that is about it for this week. It's been great getting a new companion who is full of life and ready to go and do the Lord's work.  I think everything else is going good for the moment.  Thank you DAD for sending the new card.  I will let you know when i get it.  Thank you for all you do and i hope everyone is doing well also.  I love you all!

Love like a lot,
Elder Hoopes
