Hey Everyone!

Well this week was my first week in my new ville. Antony is a suburb of Paris about 25 minutes away by train. The best way to describe it is that it's like Africa and the Middle East mixed together, I love it! The people here are so nice and they are super open, I have had so much fun talking to people on the streets and our amis are all super cool. We are teaching this one guy from Algeria who is so legit. Everytime we go over we see a ton of progress with him. We also have a couple of families that we teach that are all super nice.

The ward is pretty big and our bishop is intense. Sunday we had three talks on missionary work and everybody was pumped. Tonight we are going to do an FHE with the young men and this week we are going to visit some members and challenge them to do missionary work. It should be great!

My new companion is Elder J.****. He is from Lethbridge, Canada. He is very relaxed and we are getting along very well. We are working hard and have not stopped laughing so life is good.

Well today we are going to go check out Paris for our p-day. It feels so cool to say that.

Hope you all have a great week!

Elder Lerdahl
