This week we met with this guy (a referral from the other France mission!) but it was only about 2 or 3 minutes because he was working at this outdoor mall that happens every Saturday. He said he wanted to go to church so we gave him the address and tried to set up a time to be able to talk with him but he couldn’t. We hoped he would come to church but he never showed up... We tried calling him but he didn’t answer his phone. I hope that we can meet with him and teach him. Also, there is this family in the area (who aren’t members) that have never been taught by missionaries or anyone, but they really like missionaries!  They're really cool. The husband’s from Argentina and the wife is from Sweden. They speak English and French and Spanish and the husband can speak some Swedish. I hope we can teach them in the future!  

It’s banned for us to teach English to people here, unlike other missions around the world.  If we do, then the French officials will label our religion as a cult. Right now it’s labeled as a religion and we want to keep it that way!

On New Years we went to a family’s house in the ward and played some French board games. The dad actually went to BYU "back in the Brigham Young Academy days" as he likes to joke about that... so he knows English.

Tomorrow there’s a big mission conference in Paris for all the District and Zone leaders so I get to go!  It will be fun!  I'll get to see most of my friends from the MTC and other people that I’ve met in the mission.

I got all of the letters that everyone in the family wrote from the Christmas Eve party!  Thank you so much!  I will answer the questions you asked another time.

Until next week!
