YES, YES, YES, it was a holiday last week. I am so sorry but there really wasn't anything I could do about it!!! I still love you and yes mom, I am alive! he he. Well I don't even remember the last e-mail I sent but I guess I will never be stressed when I e-mail again...sorry to scare everyone like that....stress happens as a missionary though what can I say. I am feeling a lot better.
OK, so many questions I don't even know how to answer all of them.....ONE, the schedule is perfect. THANK YOU TONS, that is a lifesaver not to have to set that junk up. I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am. TWO, I have no idea about who to room with, but after having 13 companions that I didn't choose I think I will survive one semester with someone I didn't plan on. So the Glenwood sounds great. THREE, places to visit .....oh boy let's start with Paris! The Louvre and the Palace of Versailles are musts and after that I am pretty much content, but would love to go other places. I have never served in Normandy and I would love to see the d-day beaches. I have heard they are stunning. I HAVE to go back to Namur and see some of the best people ever, and I think I am asking too much with all of that already. I will tell ya if there is something else other than that. I sent you a letter last week and I sent my SD card with loads of pictures so I sure hope it didn't get misplaced!! Keep me posted on that one!! I will send another in any case.
Well I won't lie. The work has kinda gone down the toilet these past couple of weeks. he he But don't worry we are doing well and are learning a lot from our difficulties! At the same time we have been really blessed with a few new amies. We spent an entire week end moving a recent converts stuff out and later that same day an investigator from Bergerac (ville in the Lyon mission) moved to Limoges. She had two truck loads of stuff and she is a single mother of one daughter!!! ( PS french apartments are tiny and suck for moving big furniture).......plus cross country arms don't help out much. Mais on s'est débrouillé bien. This lady is so awesome though! Her name is Victoria and I don't know, we just got along right away and she has been going to church faithfully and progressing very well according to the elders there. We are excited to help and serve her. Other than that, we found another amie on exchanges. Elder Costner and Elder Barker were waiting at a bus stop and an African man from the Congo started asking them questions. Since then we have taught him about the restoration of the church of Christ through Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon and he is probably the most excited to learn about the gospel than anyone I have ever met.....except maybe Rémy from Valencienne. But it is a close second....which is the ironic thing! He just lived in Valencienne like me! He even left at the same time! Weird....anyways all of our other amies have either been dropped or aren't progressing to well.

Qiongji's date is changed for the 5th of May and she has been having some successful prayers but she still has not made the effort to keep all of the commandments and is not ready to make the necessary changes in her life to experiment upon the words of Christ!!! She is so close and yet so far away. We are going to be watching Joseph Smith the prophet of the restoration together at a members house soon and we will be having a kinda make it or break it rdv!!
Cool well that is the 411 I hope all is going well and I wish I could be there to hear Meagan sing!!!!!!! I wanna see her finale badly but I guess you'll have to show me laters! Well keep up the awesome work and I am glad everyone had good weeks your awesome and I loves y'all lots!
