I finally made it to my new area, and I’m back in France… Mulhouse, France.  There is a huge difference between France and Luxembourg.  I’m glad I had the opportunity to serve in Luxembourg.  Today is actually really clear and kind of warm outside and I can see the mountains! But no it’s not the Alps. But they are actual mountains though!  And no snow yet!!  I’m really close to Switzerland and there are some members here in the ward that have been talking to me saying how amazing Switzerland is and how much better it is than France... haha, but I can’t go there unlike in Luxembourg where I could go to Germany.

Some cool news is that we have someone here who is getting baptized on Friday!  So hopefully if nothing crazy happens then that will be cool. The guy is from Uganda. I don’t know about the university here, there are universities in every city that I've been to though. And also the population here in Mulhouse is 70% Muslim.

It’s just me and my comp by ourselves in this city. I don’t live with another set of missionaries anymore. I liked having 4 of us in an apartment, oh well.  Our apartment is right in the middle of downtown right next to a huge cathedral. My companion’s name is Elder Allen. He's from a little town right next to Houston, Texas.

As for the call on Christmas, I hope to have more information next week.  It will probably be in the morning your time. The call is for an hour (but if it happens to go longer its ok with me)!  Also, this week we have an enormous conference up (not down anymore) in Paris so that will be cool. I don’t have any pictures to send right now but hopefully I’ll send some in the future. The email place we go to is annoying. You have to pay before you get on so there's a countdown. Until next week….

There’s no snow yet!  Actually, it was super bright and sunny today!  Even a little warm!!  But I don’t think it’s going to last too long.

We found an apartment just three houses down from ours so we went to talk to the agency and gave them all of the papers they needed.  We’ll hear from them later but seems like a good possibility.

That sounds cool about the Christmas devotional!  If I ever have the opportunity to watch it I will.

Yes, our transfers are today and unfortunately I’m leaving Luxembourg. :(

I’m going to a place called Mulhouse. (pronounced Moo-looze).  It’s at the bottom right corner of our mission (South East), and on a real map its right above Switzerland. It’s almost at the corner of France, Germany, and Switzerland. So I guess I’ll be surrounded by more Germans! They told me that I’m going to be a district leader there too, so that’ll be interesting.

I hope Nana had a fun time at our house, even if she was sick. Oh yeah, my sickness was just like a 24 hour thing, It’s totally passed now.

Well I need to go, not much time to write.  I’m going to miss Luxembourg. The members here are so awesome!!  I had a great time here and I’ll never forget it!
