Anyways,, other than that just to get some little things outta the way; I have gotten LeAnn's package and my family's and I'm sorry grandma I still have not gotten yours yet but I haven't checked the mail yet so maybe it will come today. I really don't deserve all of these wonderful gifts y'all keep giving me I have more than I could ever want just being privileged to be in your family! DAD HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! Dang it I was so close! I guess I was only one day off......I thought our code on the garage was your birthday so I sent a letter saying it was that day..........I might have forgotten the number though, oh well wouldn't be the first time I failed! Still loves ya the same!
Ummmmmm ok a lot of .....stuff happened this week! We didnt work much cuase I was sick for a little bit and then Elder Clawson was sick the past three days, so numbers were less than beautiful, but oh well! WE HAD AN AWESOME CONFERENCE IN PARIS! and it was the day where they hit record amounts of snow!!!!! I have a couple of pictures but I will send them next week after I take some more in BELGUIM! So the baptism is not happening while I am here. We, being the leaders in the Le Mans ward, and a member that can speak the language famille henri speaks, decided that the baptism needed to wait! They said it would be better for Joseph and Jennifer to be baptized together and then their baptism would be a lot stronger,( like how you can easily break one piece of string but two together becomes a lot stronger ). There was also a clarification that needed to be made. Apparently Jennifer and Joseph thought baptism would cure her of her handicap and Angelina, the member that speaks Hindi and Tamul, knew this, and never told us until the week of her baptism.......yeah..... HOWEVER we had an awesome rendezvous with the entire family, Angelina (of whom we had tried for so long to help us at rendezvous in the past.....sorry) all discussed this together and explained what baptism does, and is, and more since we had a translater who could clearly say this in their language, and they were totally fine with it, which is a miracle because Joseph would never agree on a date before. But me and Elder Clawson had a chance to speak to them before this mascapade and he said he could maybe do it on the 24th of January! SO they will both be baptized together in either the end of January or beginning of February. But for now they are learning French better. We, slash the two new elders, will continue to teach them some last few simple things. It has been a miracle that they even understood half of what we've taught the past 10 weeks, but they will be gettin baptized!? SO CRAZY! oh yeah! The bishop also gave her an awesome priesthood blessing and she was deeply touched! I am gunna miss them SO much but luckily I know one of the elders coming in and he will take good care of them and I wont give him the keys to the appartment until he promises to write me when they are baptized! Sorry there is not much more, but I will tell you what ,the conference was so awesome! I got to see all of the elders from the MTC and talk with the pres, and the snow was beautiful? but WE WERE WIPED OUT! and it took us forever to get back! and we have been sick for awhile!( and no parents, I have not been having pancreas problems!) I have no idea why I keep losin weight but I dont feel sick right now and it might be that our scale is dying! so maybe I am fat and I just havent realized it yet who knows! P.S. I am the one who calls you on Christmas but I am not sure at what time yet so I will tell ya when I find out. LOVES YOU ALL AND I CANT WAIT TO TALK TO YALL ON CHRISTMAS!
