Hey family, how is everything going? Thank you so much for the birthday wishes. They were really nice. It is weird to think that I will be 21 years old. I can’t believe it. It feels like two days ago I was learning how to drive and yesterday I left on my mission. Now I am 21 and legal. OK - it is weird to think – wow - I am old but it is ok. I am loving it. Well, things are going great here. We are having a good time and we are getting along. Well, we have had a good week. Our friend from Egypt is doing great. We have had a couple of rendez-vous with him and we have fixed a baptism date for this weekend. Now, we don’t know if he will get baptized this weekend. He smokes and it is hard for him to stop. He has gotten down to 4 a day which is a lot better and he is working on it. We have a rendez-vous with him tonight and we will see how he did over the weekend. We will find out if he smoked or not. It was funny. We had our Stake Conference yesterday and it was at Versailles. It was great. We told Cherif about it and we told him we could go together out there. The only problem was we had to meet at our church at 7:45AM to get out to Versailles in time for the conference. Well, he never showed up so we decided to leave. Then around 11 o’clock he calls us and tells us he is at the church, but no one is there. It was a good conference though. We had the conference in a big conference center in Versailles. The cool part is that it is right next door to the Castle of Versailles - the big huge famous one. It was awesome. It is a lot different than the big city. I forgot what it is like out in the outer cities. It is calm, clean and the best part - fresh air. It was really nice. France is a really beautiful place. It is so green and there are lots of things to see.
The mother/daughter team is also doing very great. We stopped by one night after they got off work and we sang them a song and talked. They are doing awesome. They read together each night and it is just awesome. She knows the church is true and the daughter is helping out the mom a lot. The daughter is a member and she helps her out with questions. When she bears her testimony to her mom it is so powerful. It just shows that the family is very important and how the gospel of Jesus Christ can bless families. We can be together for eternity after this life. It really means a lot to me and I am so grateful that we have that opportunity to live together forever. Thank you again for all your birthday wishes. It truly means a lot. Well, I love you family and hope you have a great day and remember to BE HAPPY!!!!
