Yeah... I am sorry I sent the wrong address but I still got your package Mom, so no worries!!! I am pretty sure that was the only thing, besides Lili's package, that has gotten sent back because I got Granny's things too!
`ANYWAYS... First off, the baptism was AMAZING! You couldn't wipe the smile off of Remi's face!! He has been such a testimony builder for me and I am so grateful for his example!! He is sacrificing a lot of sleep to come to church. He works nights and you could tell he was tired but after I confirmed him he was full of energy!! It was super cool to give him the Holy Ghost. The Lord promised him some pretty cool blessings! It's always cool to be able to bless people and I am SO glad to be counted worthy to serve others in this manner, especially in french too! You can always feel the Lords love for these special people and it is quite a humbling and powerful spiritual experience!

Unfortunately A LOT of the amies we had last transfer have been dropped because they won't progress. We have been working our butts off knocking on a ton of doors and contacting A LOT everyday. We found an awesome Polish man named Christian (that we found contacting last week ) whom we taught yesterday! He has already read quite a bit in the french Book of Mormon and has felt its power; but he was also very excited to get his Polish one yesterday! HE is SUPER nice and willing to learn. He already agreed to follow the answer he gets by reading and praying to know the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon! We will also be walking with him to the Christmas activity this week and to church beings he conveniently lives close to the church!! I am so excited for him and I think he will be Valenciennes next baptism!!
Well, we continue to do loads of porting and contacting. Like I said before, we have had to drop quite a few of our amies from last transfer but the Lord has blessed us in many ways. Our faith has been strengthened and we have found many potentials. We also had the wonderful opportunity last Tuesday to go to Paris for the Christmas conference and visit a lot of the town. ( don't worry I will send pictures and baptism pictures soon) I also must say I was super touched by moms letter and I still don't think you ever messed up with me!! I never expected you to be perfect. No one is. To me and for me you were more than perfect, because you loved me enough to correct me when I was being stupid, and to pick me up when I was down, and you cheered me on when I was doing what was right or when I was running or doing art stuff or whatever it may have been! I love you mom and dad and I will never cease to be grateful for the wonderful examples you were and ARE to me and my bro and sissies! I know they would agree with me full heartedly!! I just wish I could have been more grateful when I was around, but I won't make that mistake again!
I'm going to have to end this letter soon because I am pretty sick with the flu or something, but know that I love you all SO much! Oh, btw I will be calling you guys this Christmas because I will be chilling at one of my favorite members houses for Christmas and they told me they have free calls to the US. I thought I would take them up on the offer!! I will tell you more details next week as to when and stuff. Tell Sister Lockhart I love her and that I am so sorry for being a butt and not sending her letters! Tell her that her letter, as well as all of the Relief Society sisters, were so awesome!! I will be writing one for Sister Lockhart today beings I will not have anything else to do because I am so sick. Know that I am good and that we are pumped for the work. I love you.
