Hey Everyone!

This last week was pretty good. We had a lot of cancelled appointments with everyone being so busy will the holidays, but we still managed to see some people and make some progress with some investigators. The coolest thing that happened was yesterday a guy showed up at church that we didn't recognize, so we started talking to him and turns out he has been inactive for years. He had a dream last week that he went to church and when he woke up he knew he needed to come back. He is a really cool guy, he will need retaught a little so It should be fun to work with him.

This week we have a lot of appointments set up. I am really excited for Christmas and a week full of lessons!

JOYEUX NOËL!

Hey everyone!

This last week was pretty good. We had transfers so Elder B*** went home and I got my new companion Elder W***. He has been out for about a year and a half and is from the Boston area.

Last week we found a couple of new investigators, so that was really exciting. Things in our area are going really well and I think that we will start seeing some baptisms soon. As of now we have two baptism dates for the end of the month so we just need them to hold out.

Yesterday we had a big conference for all of the missionaries in Paris. It was our zone conference and then after finishing the spiritual part we had a white elephant gift exchange and a big Christmas dinner. It was a lot of fun. You will have to look for a video of us all on facebook. We did a little video to thank families and friends for their love and support. It was a Christmas miracle that President let us throw our hats in the church haha!

Today we are going to see some underground tunnels in Paris. That should be cool.

Hey Everyone!

So this week was pretty good. We had a lot of appointments and had one of our amis come to church for the first time. He is making really good progress and we are hoping to fix a baptismal date with him tomorrow night. 

This week we were able to teach more with the members here which went really well. Having members at the lessons is so important to help the investigators progress.

Today was Elder B's last p-day. We went up to Sacre-Coeur which is a cathedral overlooking Paris. We also got some pastries after doing a 1 week no carb diet. 

So this week I will be moving to a different apartment and I will be getting a new companion. Life will be interesting that is for sure!

Hey Everyone!

This week was pretty good with Thanksgiving and all. We got together as a zone and had Thanksgiving dinner and played games. It was a fun time.

This week we had some good progress for a couple of our investigators. We have several people coming to church on a regular basis and now we just need to get some baptism dates fixed. Hopefully that happens this week!

Today to celebrate Elder B's birthday we had a deep fry. We deep fried snickers, oreos, and other candybars. It was different but super good.
