Hey Everyone!

This week was a pretty good week. We spent a lot of time knocking doors so that felt a little long at times but we had some good success. We found a bunch of new investigators that we passed over to the sister missionaries and so this week we are hoping to find families and men haha. Last Thursday we were knocking doors and we were just about ready to go home but we decided to do one more floor of the apartment building. Sure enough the last door someone let us in and we taught them, It is always the last door. Maybe just once the Lord could make it the first one--haha.

Yesterday church was really good. The bishop here is very committed to missionary work and has been doing a lot to get the ward pumped for it. I have a good feeling that the work is going to explode here.

So the other day I decided that before coming home I want to get a Koran, a Jehovah's Witness bible, and a Tora. So we set the goal and last night we were porting and met a TJ. I jumped on the chance, asked her a few questions and she gave me a Jehovah's witness bible. Now I just have two more to go. The Koran should be easy, there are so many Muslims here, the Tora will most definitely take some work.

Well that's just about it for this week and I want to go stroll the streets of Paris.

Have a great week!
