4th of July

Bonjour! 

I had another wonderful week here in the mission. Elder Asato

and I have been working really hard and God has blessed us with some

success. We were in Reims for one of the days this week to do a

finding day. That went really well. We will able to find a lot of

people for the missionaries in Reims to teach. 

In Charleville we had a lot of extra time so you know what that means, CONTACTING! I was

nervous at first but as we got going things started to work out

wonderfully. We found a lot of people, handed out a lot of Book of

Mormons, and preached about Jesus. It was great. There came a point in

time when we were actually excited to go out contacting. Haha. We were

able to have many cool experiences. One of which happened at our last

appointment of the week with Alain. He had told us the week prior that

he doesn't think he wants to join a church. This week though he said

he had read the pamphlets, prayed, and he wants to get baptized! So we

set a baptismal date and we are very excited for him.

France won in the quarter finals last night and for about 30 minutes

the streets were filled with nothing but horns honking and screaming.

It was really exciting. Haha. One of the few things French people

unite about is soccer so when there team wins it gets pretty crazy.

I heard a funny joke this week. "In France there are a couple churches

and thousands of cheeses. In America there only a couple cheeses but

thousands of churches". It is so true. Haha.

Elder Asato and I celebrated a splendid Fourth with all the American

things we could find, hot dogs, Jif peanut butter, and Coke. It was

wonderful.
