Hello everybody, this week was an awesome week! Full of miracles. 

On Monday, P Day, I bought a lego car. (Thank you for the $$, Grandma Marjie and Grandma Carol.) We then had a meal with a member which was super awesome, on Christmas Eve he gave us way too much food, my stomach was full! Then it was Christmas, and we opened up all our presents in the morning. We got a bunch of nerf blasters (thanks mom), so we all started shooting each other for about half an hour in the morning. Later that day, we went to our senior couple's house and we had waffles, which were so fire, they had real American syrup and butter and it was just amazing. 

Later that day was one of the funniest member meals I've ever had in my entire life. There's a member named Steeles, and he is from Greece, but he is so funny. We had a meal with him, which is called raklet, but it's essentially cheese, meat and sauce. Then he showed us all his video games and he was like one of the top 10 players in the world. So yeah, he was awesome. 

One miracle we saw was after our meal on Christmas. We were walking home and we found an inactive member walking his dog. So that was a super cool miracle. This last Sunday was super cool, I gave a talk 100% in French. I think it went well and then all the missionaries had to sing. We had 8 friends come to church, which was awesome. Right after that, we had a French class, and they talked for half an hour about how we consecrate graves. WILD. But the coolest was that after church on Sunday, we had a temple tour with our friend Geraud. And it was actually so awesome. He is soo cool. Funny smart was when the sisters showed him a photo of the celestial room. He said "c'est stylé" like it's stylish. 

This week is going to be great but we have transfer news this Saturday and I'm pretty certain I'll be staying. 

Spiritual thought: 
We lost one of the greatest apostles to walk the earth recently, and I was so crushed. Here's my favorite talk he's ever given: 

Emissaries to the Church

 June 23, 2025 Hot!!!  It was so hot here in Saint-Quentin this week. I've never eaten more popsicles than in the last week. We only had one fan that worked and it is a mini fan, so yeah. But the Lord's work didn't stop.  We did a ton of finding like normal, we also had an exchange which was awesome. We went to Lille and  did an exchange with our ZLs. I learned a ton up there to bring to Saint-Quentin. Also I don't know why but I seem to find and be companions with people from French Polynesia.  On Friday we crossed this family from new Caledonia and they are so cool. It was Elder Tuua and Tupana who initially talked to them. And then we were near the river when I saw them and we started talking about church and all it was a super awesome experience.  Sunday came around and one of our amazing members brought her friend with her to church! She is soo cool and we're excited to teach her it truly was a fun week.  We just went grocery shopping and bou...

 April 21, 2025 By far the craziest week of my mission!!  I'll just take you from Tuesday to Thursday  Tuesday I called the cops. It was late and we just got done with a lesson with one of our friends (who is a little crazy). So we get done with this lesson and all of the sudden I see this guy sitting on the church entrance right outside. His hands were on his head and there was some blood on his knuckles and he was telling us all these crazy things. Anyway, our friend looks at me and says "it's a demon", so she puts her hand on his head and repeats something in her native language (Dutch). In the end, we didn't know what to do so we just called the emergency line and had some police officers take him to a psychiatric hospital. So that was my Tuesday. Wednesday we got lost trying to get home, then on Thursday we went to Institute (which is like a class for all the young adults in the Paris area). This drunk guy walks in and has some problem with the seminary direc...

 September 8, 2025 Hello everyone. Hope your week has been good. I did a lot of things this week, starting out transfers happened. I am now with a new companion named Elder Jones. He is super cool and goofy. We're gonna have a lot of fun together. I can already tell.  And big news from my family, my little sister got her mission call to Mexico, Pachuca! Megan will be an amazing missionary. We went to transfers in Paris. It was fun to see all the other missionaries again! I got my tite de sejour, which means I'm now legal in France. And to cap it all off, we got to eat at 5 Guys sooooooo good! An old friend from the mission sent me a wedding invitation. He's trying to kill me. Charleroi has been awesome. There are so many people to find and teach. Just this last week we had the opportunity to put one of our friends on baptismal date. His name is Benjamin. The baptism is on the 11th of October and we're super excited. He is super cool. He came to church yesterday. He told...
