Halfway through first transfer

Well it rained for the first time in Le Havre this last Sunday. I knew it was coming but didnt know when. Im sure a lot more will come. My language is coming along and Ive been able to give lessons in Sunday School already so I guess thats a good sign. This last week we were able to have some good rendez-vous here. We taught this guy from Cameroon named Alain. His mom was there and we discussed the Godhead for 30 min cause they just didn't understand. Things turned out well with him and his mom though. We had a couple other nice meetings with some people. A couple weeks ago, we went to this place called Etretat. Its this really beautiful looking coastline in Northern France. I think these cliffs were shown in the movie "the Princess Bride" anyways, My comp took me there and it was awesome, the tide was out when we got there so there was this cave that we went through and were able to go around the coast and see alot of the beauty there. Im going to post some pics for ya to see where I was. Anyways, Just this last Monday we had a Mission conference with a General Authority come. We had to run down to Versailles to see him but it was a nice drive. It was Neil L. Anderson who spoke to us. He is the Presidency of the 70. He went to this mission when he was younger so he talked to us about a bunch of stuff. I also gotta see all my MTC buddies and that was awesome. The mission conference went most of the day so I couldnt do much else with my time when we got back. It took about 2 hours to get to Versailles. And to add to that, I have zone conference this Friday so this week is packed with stuff happening. Anyways, almost time to go. Love you all
-Oh, and if youre wanting to email me, my email now is jinksy_jex21@hotmail.com because my other email doesnt let me do anything anymore.
well, it doesnt look like this computer will let me put these pics on so maybe some other time.

Still no rain!!

Hows everything? Everything here is going pretty well. Weve been doing our usual stuff here. We also have been meeting with this less active guy named Pascal Bounet. He's really cool but he talks soo much. He used to be a Branch President but since He got a divorce, he left the church. But it seems like he's been coming around lately. He came to church last week and came to a couple activities for Valentines day. I really think He's coming around. My french is still workin its way to the top. I still have a lot of improvement. Next monday, we're all going down to Versailles to a mission conference and Neil A Anderson is speaking to us so that will be awesome. Ive only been here for a little over é weeks so Im still getting used to some stuff. As for everything else, my comp and I are getting along great and the work is going on. Here are some pics: one is of me and my comp, the other one is of a cathedral right next to our building in Rouen. Hopefully its not on its side. oh well, Til next week, à bientot.

Le Havre

Well now Im in a city called Le Havre. Its right on the coast of France. Very close to the beach. The beach is like a 15 min walk from my apt. And lately it's been pretty nice. Everyone says that it gets pretty bad with rain and everything but since ive been here, i havent seen a cloud in the sky. The work here going ok here. We only have a branch here so it's not to big. There was about 30 people at Sacrament meeting last sunday. I had to present myself to the branch also. Usually they call new missionaries blue but they didn't call me blue at all. Apparently my speaking was a lot better than most new missionaries. I wonder why? :) Anyways, here's my new address if you should want to send me anything,

Finally in France!!!!

It's been a while but Im finally in Paris, well not exactly. When I got here I stayed at the Mission President's House for a day then. The day we got in, we were able to go a little siteseeing. I was only able to see Notre Dame and Im gonna try to attach a pic and hopefully it goes through. I did see the Eiffel Tower in the distance but didn't have time to see it. My city that I am called to is Le Havre. It's a city right on the coast in Normandy. I havent seen the beach yet but thats ok. I'm sure Ill have some time to go there while I'm here. I don't really like French keybords. Oh yeah, my first companion's name is Elder Mecham. He's really cool. He's layback and chill like me. We talked to this one man today and I could not understand a word he said. He had the craziest accent than anyone. Even my comp could barely understand him. We talked with him for about 40 min straight. Also, tonight we're goin to teach this less active person. Hopefully I can say some things. Well, anyways, I gotta go. Great to hear from everyone! Til next week.

President Hinckley's Passing

Well, I'm sure most of you already know about President Hinckley's passing last Sunday. Yes, it is a day to be sad but I'm sure he got a great welcoming party in the Spirit World. Well, this last week hasn't been to exciting. Just a couple things, I am still at the MTC once I get to Paris, which is only in a few days, I'll have some good stories to tell ya. I have only 3 days left til I leave and I haven't started packing yet. I'm actually starting right after I finish here with my e-mail. Well, it's still snowing that last time a went outside. No big surprises here. Anyways, Have a great week then when I am in France, there will be a lot of typos in my email only cause here the french keyboard is way different then ours.
-Love
