New Companion, New to the Mission

Bonjour!
Elder Silva and I meet for the first time!

The stairs to my apartment

This week was definitely a lot of running around. Tuesday was spent
packing Elder Asato's stuff and going to see different people he
wanted to say goodbye to. It was a really busy day but we had a lot of

fun. 

On Wednesday I went into Paris to pick up my new baby companion.  His name is Elder Silva and he's great. He is from Spanish Fork, Utah. He is 6'3", and was an avid water polo player before the mission. In addition, he went to BYU for a year before his mission so we have been able to talk a lot about the greatness of BYU. It's been really fun.  He informed me that the fraternity I started over the summer at BYU is
still going strong. Haha.

The next few days was a lot of contacting with little success. In France, when it's vacation time, it IS vacation time. That means all the stores close for weeks, no one is on the streets, (if you are from the north you go down to the south), and everyone just chills. It
 annoying in regards to missionary work. Haha.

Saturday I went to Paris again for a district leader training meeting. That was a lot of fun. I was able to see Elder Johnson and Elder
Kendrick as well as a lot of other old friends. It's fun to catch up on what's been happening.


Not a lot of big news. All of our investigators have been doing well.
Rene is still in the rehab clinic for his leg and Emmanuel is always
happy to see us as he gets ready to be baptized.


Oh also, because the Wilsons (the senior couple) is leaving next week,
the new senior couple came in to Charleville to be trained. Their name
are the Clarks. They are really cool. I have been super blessed to
work around 4 different senior couples. Not a lot of missionaries even
get to be around one. Haha.


Have a wonderful week. God Bless

Elder Hein
