Very cool, yeah transfers are soon, there like an 85 percent chance that im going to stay in st quentin, but if you wanna wait to send the package; thats fine too, Sounds like rugby is going pretty good at byu and united thats cool.
I went on an exchange to Lille last tuesday; very very cool city; the third biggest in the mission i think; after Paris and Brussels, there were alot more people to talk with; and they all werent old either ha
The language is coming along slooowly but surely; so thats cool as well. And we go back into paris AGAIN on thursday; and amiens again for district meeting tomorrow; there is wwaaaaaayy too many of these little meetings; i tell you what sheesh; i was especially dissapointed becuase we had a rendez vous with a younger guy we found; so now we have to reschedule that; joobies.
A few days ago while doing some porting in one of those big ghetto apartment buildings, we found a young guy; johnathan; 19 years old, lives with his grandpa, we gave the classic approach and he was nice; gave us his number; He said he loved basketball and the USA and wants to go there; so i invited him to play Bball with us on saturday mornings with the youth of the ward; he was so pumped, buuut now we have things getting in the way so we cant do it this saturday or next saturday; its flippin frustrating, cuz i know if he just comes once he would love it; love the boys; the church; playing bball; buuuttt now we just wait i guess; but we gave him the first lesson this past week and it went really well.
Also we met some nigerian immigrants on the bus a few days ago; they spoke english; so we got to talking; they were way chill so we set up to meet with them a couple days later; one of the two showed up; the other guy was doing some legal stuff; cuz they qre looking for legality and work; so we met up with joseph; black; skinny tall guy, we met at the cathedral and walked down to the church where we started talkin a bit; long story short he left africa becuase its a horrible place; his dad was the leader in his church; but then his dad died so he was next in line; but he said the church did weird stuff like animal sacrifice and he refused; so they beat him almost to death; he had this massive scar on his forhead; eventually he was chased out of africa; and he had to leave his family and come to france; 23 years old look for work; living in some kind of government ghetto, so we told him a bit about our church and invited him to read the BOM, he said he would; so its rough stuff, he would say "by the grace of God i am here now; i just want to follow Jesus and turn my life around, but it comes; little bit at a time; our time is not Gods time, you understand?" amen brotha amen, "i have alot to be thankful for; good health... i can walk, but you are very good people, i can see that; you understand? i will read the book" so we that was intense; technically it was a lesson; and you write that down in your planner; and give it to the zone leaders, and what not; but he for sure tought us more that night, what an inpiration; you almost feel guitly after that; so you just try harder to do more.
But yatta anywho, what are the brethren up to these days? and mariah? I am now the all powerful master at church because of my ability to give reeses to whom ever i please, even the adults are starting to come up to me, shmeeglin around for my reeses; i just have to round house kick some peeps to the face hahaha
Feed the birds... toppins a bag
