CRAZINESS!

O.K. I still hate this computer, but I will do my best...anyways this week has been INSANE!!! First couple of days I think I already told you about but it already feels like I've been here forever.  I have completely lost all sense of time or reality for that matter (he he).  Me and Elder Crump have had some...interesting things interrupt our contacting this week.  The first one was completely normal.  They had some famous soccer players, (or football, who cares which) but yeah people pretty much payed more attention to them than to us.  But if you ask me France kinda choked in the world cup so I thought they would be hidding their tails between their legs right now(he he).  There was also a rave? Je pense?  Which translates to a strike, and when I say strike, I mean a full out revolt!!!!  People were pulling out soviet flags and they had a catapult...no joke!  People werer screaming in a microphone and of coarse they were all marchin on top of the tram system so no one could get anywhere and the streets were to full to drive buses.  Apparently there was a party and we were not invited.  The government wanted to raise the retirement age from 64 to 66..gasp!!!  Yea that was...cool. 
        We had a lot of lessons get canceled because they were busy, BUT we did get and new( we ressurected) an old amie and got to set up an appointment with them for this week, and we found a guy from Charte who was interested.... only problem is that he was from Charte so we gave our number to him so we can refer him to the missionaries in Charte.  I think that is where Elder Paul is.  Anyway we did still have a few lessons.  One was with Helen who has been an  amie for  awhile and she loves what we've been teaching but isn't completely sure yet.  We talked about faith and read Alma 32 with her and talked about experimenting on the word and explained what that meant.  It went really well.  I even shared a story about how I had to have a lot of faith and patience to recieve and answer to why I was in the hospital and to feel of Christs comforting spirit... it was cool!  We also challenged her to come to conference and she came!! The buses were having difficulties and it was a miracle that she was able to be there, but she and Leticia made it in time to hear the Prophet!
       A little about Elder Crump!  He is awesome.  He loves soccer he is very humble and he still has a girlfriend.... I would wait for him.(Hhe he)   O.k.  he his a lot liek me in the aspect that we come off as being super shy but turns out we actually can be a little crazy.... me more than he is.  Today we are going to go running and shopping and hopefully it will stop raining soon, cause people here tend to be more onery in the rain.  Obviously we saw conference and yes a few of them were delayed , bu most of them were in actual time.  All of it was awesome and I loved it!  This week is gunna be super even if I have no idea what people are talking about I am just glad I can speak the language... pretty well.  I am doing great.  The church is DEFINATELY TRUE!!! and boy have I been humbled beyond Anything.  I can't do anything here at all!!  But with God i can , through him I can do ANYTHING!!!  I have learned so much about Christ these past few days trying to get the .......... I would say something else but I will go with guts.  To try to contact people in French knowing full well that I won't understand a word they say!  Somehow  I managed to do it on my first day here and it turns out that most people just completely ignore you , so no worries.  Seriously I am grateful for my companion and Christ cause I woulda been toast out here .  Anyway my hand hurts trying to figure out this stupid keyboard out so I hope all keeps going well with you all.  I love you and I will try to write letters today.  Au Revoir!!  Jason
