Beginning of next transfer and DRIVING!!





Well, this last week has been pretty crazy!! I have sort been feeling like the 1st companion in charge cause a new comp just came a couple weeks ago and its been pretty hard cause I can't talk to everyone but I try. I had to show Elder Barton around the city and introduce him to the members and a bunch of other stuff. This last Tuesday we had the opportunity to go out to a investigator's house out in Fecamp and were able to give a blessing to one of the daughters. Her name is Marlene and she is in the Hospital for having some kind of infection with the heart. I didn't really understand how they described it but they said it wasn't that serious. So Elder Barton and I were able to give her a blessing. It was a very spiritual experience for me and for Elder Barton. Also just yesterday, we saw this couple and the husband is French and the wife is Spanish. They just came from Peru. We call them our Lamanite couple. We thought she wanted to be taught and he would translate but she was actually a member and she wanted us to talk to him about the first lesson. So we taught him the first lesson and she talked with some of the members in our Branch. It was really an awesome experience. Just a couple weeks ago I got the privilege to drive in France. It is crazy here!!! Not everything is different but they have different rules that I think are just weird. Just this last week, it has been pretty rainy. It has rained at least a couple hours each day since Elder Barton has come here so our Contacting activities were cut in half since no one was outside. But the wind is pretty powerful here to so we went to go see how crazy the waves were and we got some crazy pictures of us as the waves hit the barge. But since Elder Mecham left and since the responsibility has fell on me most of the last week, my French has improved so much. I talked to a lady today at Auchan and I didn't have to think of the words to say in english before I said them in French. I think once I start dreaming in French, that's when I'll really know it. Well, anyways I hope everyone has had a Great Easter Holiday and really focused on the Atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ. That's what I've been teaching in the last couple weeks to our members. But here are a couple pics of me and Elder Barton with the crazy waves.
