Hey family, how is everything going? I hope everything is great! Well, so how was everyone’s week? Well, this was the first week of the transfer and to tell you the truth it kind of was horrible. Wednesday was transfer day and we had to go to Rouen to be with Elder Ingram. We did this because we cannot be alone on transfer days. So we get up at 5 in the morning to head over to Rouen to get there by 7. Well we get off the train because we didn’t want to go to Pairs. Good news and bad news about that. First good news. The good news is that we didn’t go to Paris but bad news is our cell phone went to Paris without us.....Ya we left our phone on the train that was going to Paris. Ya - not good not good. So this whole week we have not had a phone and we still don’t have a phone to this minute. Let me tell you a couple of things. MISSIONARY WORK IS VERY HARD TO DO IF YOU DONT HAVE A PHONE! It reminds me of the old days when they didn’t have phones. Well, it is very hard because we can’t get a hold of our investigators or anyone. Good news is that we should get it back today though. Luckily, the elders in Paris found it and gave it to Pres. Staheli and he gave it to our branch pres. So, we should get it today. So it has been fun without a phone. It is very hard though to work. We can’t fix rendez-vous or get a hold of our investigators, but all should be well.

Friday was also a good day. We had a country night at our church were a member was teaching them how to line dance, it was great. They also asked us to make a chili for the night. So we found a good recipe and made some American chili for our country night. A lot of members really liked it so that is really cool. It was a fun night.

This past week there was an 8year old who got baptized. It was pretty cool to see that. Well, got to go family. I am excited to talk to you on Mother’s Day. Hey - Dad and Shann - what time is best for you to call? Please let me know. I love you.
