Well Hey everyone. Ok So this week has been fantastic! We were so busy! We were only in Compiègne in for 2 days this week! Just out of control! We saw some awesome miracles and also just had a fun time this week. I got the Christmas package from home on Friday so that was wonderful! I also love hearing all of the fun things that are going on back home to. Alex has one of the most interesting missions i must say. Just thinking if family was constantly around me i would be so distracted! He is a strong Elder! I also think it is funny that he is teaching a girl i knew back in High School Kirstin. If it is the one i am thinking about i had a thing with her for a little moment. Nothing big but still who didn't want Bomber F's drummer lets be honest! Hahaha i am totally joking but i think it is so cool that they are teaching her. Ummm let's see, oh yes Tyler kay and Miriam that is too good! I hope they are having fun! It sounds like the family is going really good. I miss everyone quite a bit. Just make this Christmas so much fun and that brings me joy as well. Also poor jakers. Take care of him but don't let him suffer. The brothers need to understand that it will be soon but at the same time it's not worth the emotional longevity. I'll talk more about that later. So yes....
Christmas in Compiègne is so fun actually. Apart from the complete ignorance of God and his role in Christmas, we can fell the season rolling in. It has been cold but only mild. My comp thinks it is nothing. Ha but i think it is cold and it is also super rainy. I imagine it is just like Christmas in Washington. We are hoping and waiting patiently for snow. I WANT ANOTHER WHITE CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! I have to admit though seeing the newly added presents under the tree and all that is helping with the Christmas spirit. Hunter thank you for the Boomer mask. I think that is the funniest thing ever! Also i will be calling at 8 in the morning your time on christmas. I am going to try and set up skype but i am not sure if i will be able to do it. We'll see. Also calls need to only last one hour president said so that is to bad but in any case i think that won't be to bad. So yeah and thank you for the recipe. I am so excited to make that bread again!!!!!
Ok so next thing i want to tell you about the wonderful week we had. It will be really summarized because of how much happened but i sent a ton of pictures to make up for all the ones i haven't been able to send. So monday we were in Paris for a Christmas Zone Conference and it was so much fun. I got the letter that you had sent and it was so touching and i am so thankful for that. They also made us a bunch of nice french Christmas treats. I was a lot of fun. so then because of the conference that day P-day was moved to Tuesday. Well Elder Reed had to go to Paris on Tuesday to get registered as a resident of france. So we were in Paris and we visited the Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, the Catacombs, Champs Elyées, and we tried to see the Louvre Museum but it is closed on tuesdays so we are going today :D. So we did all of that and it was just an absolute blast. Then on Friday i had to do my first baptismal interview so i was in Paris again for and exchange Friday and Saturday and then on sunday we were again in Torcy, just next to paris for a Stake Conference. So yeah it was hectic and we did so much travelling. The interivew went really well by the way. At stake conference Joana came all the way from Compiègne which was fantastic! also this week we got in touch with this amis who is so busy but is just so incredibly solid and will be baptized soon i know it! So the amis are all doing really well in any case and even though we don't have any one with a date i believe some will come soon. I am stoked.
Well that is about it for the moment. We need to shop and then we need to catch our train to Paris!!!! So i will talk to you later. I love you all and i am so thankful for all that you do for me and all the thoughts that you have towards me. That sounds weird but thats the translation in french to english. i don't know how to say that..... oh well. I hope you are doing good. I love you all
