Yes, it was Zone Conference

Salut tout le monde!

Sorry that I didn't send that schedule again. I'm surprised they don't post that on the facebook page for all the parents. It's hard for me to remember that when you're not living your life 6 weeks at a time you don't normally keep track of when "week 2" is, so I'm sorry. I'll try to make sure to say in the email the week before anything like that happens.

I'm glad that you had a good week. Women's conference sounds like it was pretty nice. I know what you mean when you talked about having very crazy weeks! Also, I'm super jealous of being able to go see Avengers, even if the ending was bad. I keep seeing posters for it everywhere, and I'm pretty curious as how they made the whole connection to Guardians. But I guess I'll find out in 450ish days. (That gives me chills, agh!) I'm looking forward to Sunday too! You guys have church at 10 right? There is a

between Atlantic and Mountain Standard times. 10 o'clock becomes 1 o'clock for me. It's not eastern time zone. It's Atlantic. We were thinking 3:45 for our call, would that work? This is all I have for scheduling it.

Elders & Sisters:

Mother’s Day this year is May 13th. You are permitted to Skype or call your parents Mothers Day for up to 45 minutes. If your parents for any reason will be separated on Mother's Day, you are permitted to Skype or call each parent for up to 45 minutes.

If you need to Skype or call your parents on a day other than Mothers Day, you should clear it with me. Companions need to cooperate with each other as they coordinate when they will speak to their parents.

So let me know if it works.

Anyway, I realized that I haven't talked about my week at all, and all my time is gone. Some highlights, Tanya came to church, Zone Conference was awesome, Alexandre's getting baptized this coming Saturday, and we were able to teach Nick, Rachelle and Tommy again. Allen doesn't really want to progress, so we dropped him. We're working on finding more people! We're totally safe from the flooding, We don't often teach it [the Bible Study class], its something the branch does, and they come to, President Edwards asked us to teach that week. No other classes.

Love you all!

Got my travel plans!

Bonjour tout le monde! This has been a crazy week! We've been super busy with lessons, we have had two or three lessons a day, and lots of really good devotionals. On Sunday , we had Chad Lewis come and talk, and that was really cool. He talked about his mission, his career, his chance to do this hike up Kilimanjaro with a bunch of wounded soldiers from Iraq, kinda all over the place. It was more like a slide show than the kind of devotionals before. It was still good, but I definitely preferred Elder Oaks. We watched A Consecrated Missionary, by Tad Callister, for our film after, it was really good. I really love the Sunday films, gunna miss that in the field. I also finally meet some other people going to Halifax! There are 4 sisters, and one other Elder, I'll be flying out with them on the 26th. I'm pretty sure I get to call you guys before I leave the airport on my flight, but I think they talk about t...

First few days!

First few days are down, and it's going good! When I got here I went straight to a lesson in French, and six hours of lessons later I'm supposed to teach a lesson in complete French to an investigator, write a talk in French, and memorize the missionary purpose statement. Our zone has about 60 missionaries, most speaking French, going to Lyon, France, but some to Paris as well. There are a lot of Haitian Creole speaking missionaries, and some Malagasy speaking missionaries as well. Two are going to New Caledonia (discussed below). I'm the only one going to Canada, let alone going to Halifax. My companion is Elder Hable (like table but with an H) and he's really good. He's going to New Caledonia, which is by Australia. He took French for 6 years, and he's by far the best of our district so far. He likes baseball, favorite team is the Red Sox, so that's a plus, (Raelene) and is really kind to everyone. He got made the District leader last night, s...

Transfers!

Hey all, Happy Father's day! Hope you had a good one dad + grandpa's. I didn't know if you would've wanted to waste part of your trip to DC calling me, so I didn't try calling. Besides, I want you all to actually be glad I'm home when I get back. So you're right, my p-day does get messed up because of transfers, but the majority of it was on Monday (not Tuesday) and the rest today (Wednesday). It's ok though because I do have enough time to write some. (This whole week has been so busy I don't even know if I could include everything that's gone down.) We'll start with zone conference. Elder Hamilton didn't have enough time in his schedule to go to Newfoundland, and so we combined the Newfoundland and Nova Scotia zone conference. It was really good, Elder and Sister Hamilton gave some fantastic training, as well as President and Sister Low. I don't know if I've told you about this, but in our zone conferences we normal...
