Awesome Week!

Well I really don't know where to even start! French people sure know how to greve!!!! Which is french for strike! They have been grevin' for two weeks now and it has kinda been interrupting a lot of good proselyting time. But we still managed to find 6 new amies!!!! The first two were on Tuesday and we got about as far as teaching this man  (whose name is Steve an African man from......Africa) about Jesus Christ, when his friend walks in, so Elder Crump retaught the few short things I had already said, and invited him to join us. He said why not..... he thought we were Jehovas witnesses but then we explained who we were and he got all excited and said his uncle was Mormon and he lives in Washington DC. He has visited him a few times and even gone to church and liked it. Then Steve said he had a movie about Christ that he bought in Paris and it was his favorite video on Christ and he really wanted to watch it with us. We said sure, having no idea what it was going to be, but when the menu came up and said Trouver la Foi en Christ -(Finding Faith in Christ ) we got all excited and explained to him that it was a film produced by our church! IT WAS AWESOME!! So we watched the video and taught the rest of the first lesson and committed them to read and pray about the Book of Mormon. They agreed to ,enthusiastically, and were even more excited when they heard that we actually had a church here, and they want to come!  IT WAS A MIRACLE! We have a rendezvous with them tomorrow so we will see what else has gone on. I will keep ya posted! That was only our first day! We had exchanges with the ZLs the next day. They basically, both come down to LE Mans and one goes with me  one way, and the other goes with Elder Crump another way. We meet back at house later and tell each other of all the awesome adventures we have! Me and Elder Tom got lost ,cause I don't know this place very well, and we saw like three fights! One of which was two ladies who were like ripping each other apart......I can't remember what happened in the second one and the third one I didn't even see cause I was talking to one of our amie's that had recognized me. I was busy talking to her, but apparently  a bunch of kids were kicking the crap out of each other and when they were done they all got up and walked home together as if nothing had happened.....Elder Tom said, "he was so confused ",but then he saw that I was talking to someone and thought I might need help but I actually understood most of what was said. We got some guys number but haven't gotten a hold of him yet.  The others had even more adventures and even found a new amie. She had a seizure and was drunk out of her mind so she needed help to get home and they, (Elders Crump and Humphrey) just happened to be there. So they walked her home and apparently her husband had died recently and she has been hating life in a bunch of other ways ,so she drinks cause she has had all those issues, and even wanted to die. They talked a bit with her and told her about the plan of salvation and a whole bunch of other stuff I can't type down cause it would take me forever, but when we went and saw her on Friday she had already read up to 2NE 31 and things are looking a lot better for. Already she has quit drinking and smoking just like that! And so far hasn't had any problems! WOW ! Crazy right ,so yeah this week has been amazing! And, the lady I talked with on Wednesday is going to be baptized in December!!!!!!!!!   Which is a long ways off , but she was SOoo against it before we sat down to talk with her on Friday that even just having this commitment is huge! Of course, we have nothing to do with any of this! I CAN BARELY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS BEING SAID, AND YET ,ALL THESE MIRACLES ARE HAPPENING! God must be pretty smart huh! Anyways I am running out of time even though there is thousands of other things I could tell you, I will write it in a letter. Thanks for all the e-mails. I loves you so much and I really hope my pictures turn out for y'all cuse I had some really good ones. But I heard that they magnetically scan evelopes so the sd card I sent might have gotten zapped of its memory.......sorry but I attached some pictures of our first day in Paris so hopefully those work!

Love,Jason
