My Birthday!!
Hey everyone, How is everything going? It's been pretty nice here in Paris. Things are going well for me. For my birthday, I actually had interviews with president Staheli, which was great. President Staheli is a great person. Anyways, since I am a zone leader now, I went on exchages with the Assistants to the President right after interviews so my day went very well. I went to Versailles and spent the night over there. We went running in the morning to a hill that looked out over paris and some other places. We took so really cool pictures of La defense (the business district of paris). This last week has been hot though. If you've ever had to walk around in a shirt and tie in 100 degree heat, you know what I mean. Things are cooling down though. Hopefull it'll continue like that. Things are going well nonetheless. My apartment for my birthday made me a chocolate cake and we "made" sushi, which was actually really good. We'll probably do it again in the future. We live in a really antique apartmant here. Wood floors, we even have two fireplaces, which is weird for a missionary to have. Anyways, I hope all of you havea great week and I will be seeing you soon.

RE: I'm being transferred!!!
Hey, it's been about a week in Paris, well a little less. But anyways, things have been going well. I'm now a zone leader so it's kind of hectic with all the things we have to do with the mission. Anyways, I'm doing fine. My new companion's name is Elder Kunz. He's actually from Rigby Idaho. It's about 20 min from Rexburg. He's cool. We do have a ward here. It's pretty big but so many people come in and out for business or members on vacation and everything. There was a family from New York that came to church. I didn't have to translate for them but it was ok. The ward building is another side of the street type place. It's not really a building by itself. Anyways, They are very missionary minded though, which is great to have in a ward. I do miss Reims a little bit because of the people that I knew there and the members there. Anyways, today was the Paris P day for the transfer. We played football in front of the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides again. It was awesome playing though. I met with the missionary I trained (Elder Messick). We ate at Subway and talked with him and his companion. It has been a tiring day so far. I guess Paris P days will be different for me in the future because now I live in Paris, and I will probably finish my mission in Paris so that will be nice. Well, that's about the update that I have for you all now. I hope you all have a great week.
-Love

Well How did the transfer go? Are you all settled in? Who is you new companion? I'm guessing but you probably are in a ward right? Was the family that was English specking from the states? Sounds like you had a nice train ride and saw the country side to get to Troyes. Dawnette and Terina and kids have been here for a week. Dawnette came onbut we got there the kids had fun swimming and climbing in the tree house. then we came back on Sunday and Terina met uas at the reunion and drove back here too. On Tuesday we all went to the LeBrea tar pits museum because it was free Tuesday. It was busy but they had fun, then we went over to Dad's work and ofter ate at the Panera Bread resturant. We had a good day mostly, Andrew had a problem but we got threw it. On Wednesday I took the kids to the Thrift store and out to McDonalds for dinner. Terina took her kids to the beach on Thursday and Dawnette stayed home and then we went to a Dodger game Mormon night. Dad was in charge of tickets. We had a good game, the dodgers were down 2 in the ninth inning and Andrea got a walk off home run which we had 2 runners on base to win the game .It was really exciting. Dawnette left on Friday but before she left we had fun beading necklaces and bracelets. After Terina went to Shelly's for the night it was pretty quiet around here. Today Jaren Murph is speaking in Sacrament and Michael Slagel is also, he is going to Brazil I think. It should be a great Sacrement meeting. We hope all is well with you. We have received the letter from the mission office and are trying to make plans we will tell you about them as soon as we know them. do you have any thought of how long you would want to stay in France after we pick you up? If so tell me so that we can plan, and maybe what, but I don't want you to make plans for places with members of anything like that okay? Just places you want to go to. Don't get distracted for doing the Lords work with these plans please. WE love you.

Hey mom and dad, I didn't have time to send you an email last saturday because I was in Troyes, which is another city for my companion. He taught an investigator there and he wanted my comp to baptize him, so we went back. Anyways, things are going well. I am being transferred though. I'm going to Paris again, but this time in Paris itself, not in the suburbs. I will probably stay there for the rest of my mission but you never know. I believe the eiffel tower is in my proselyting area. It's kinda funny to think of that. I'll be contacting a lot of foreigners soon. Well, I really excited to go there. I'll be riding nothing but metros and buses above ground. No more train rides. Last week had a bunch of activities. On Thursday, we had our zone activity, which was baseball but with a tennis ball. I didn't want to play my hardest because I thought I might hurt somebody like that one time with one of Camille's friends. After the acitivity, we didn't make our train back to Reims so we had to spend the night in Paris with the Chinese Elders. It wasn't to fun because we didn't have anything to change into and we didn't really have any good beds to sleep on. Anyways, we got back to Reims the next morning fine. Then on Saturday, we left early in the morning for Troyes, which took us about 4 hours to get to then walked around there for a while and took some pictures. Then we had the baptism for this man, then we really had to run back to the train station to make our train back Reims. On Sunday, we had an English family to our ward and so for most of the service, I was translating for half of the family. It gets pretty tiring after 2 hours of translating in your head. Anyways, I'm excited and everything is going well. OUr main investigator is on vacation in London so we have to wait for her to get back in another week. I won't be here though. Well, I hope the weather has cooled down in Cali and everyone is doing well. The weather is nice here, just a little warm with showers often. I hope you have a great week and here is my new address:
