Zone conference

Well, this last week has been pretty cool.  Two big things have happened.  This last Friday I was able to go to Zone conference and we were able to have a guest speaker there.  His name is Elder Kopischka.  He is German and he is serving in the Quorum of the 70.  He also served a mission as a mission president in Germany before.  He talked to us about how we can really touch the lives of others out here in France.  And also that miracles will never stop.  That is something that we have discussed multiple times so far during my mission.  Along with President Staheli and Sister Staheli, It was a great zone conference and I think I have learned many things since then on teaching others the Gospel.  Then, two days later we were able to Stake Conference in Versailles, which was awesome because We were able to hear many speakers and also that the Stake President asked that the Elders in the Stake perform a couple songs for the Conference.  We sang "For the beauty of the earth" and also "Praise to the man" (in French of course).  But it was awesome!!  It was a little hard to hear because we were sitting on the stand the whole time so the echo of the speaker was kind of hard to hear.  But anyways, yesterday was our Paris P-day, when we can go around Paris and look at different sites.  This is what I did:  First we went to the eiffel tower and went up it, which was awesome.  Then, we went to le sacré coeur, which is a big church on top of a hill in Paris.  Then we went from that to the front of the Louvre and took some pics.  While being there, we met 2 members from Provo who wanted a pic with us so we took one with them.  After that, we went down to the Arc de Triomphe, which is just soo cool.  I'm gonna try to put as many pics up as I can today.  Anyways, pretty tired right now from yesterday and little sick but thats what happens.  Anyways, ciao
-Love
