Hey everyone, Thanks for the pictures. I have my memory card this week so I’ll try to send y'all some, if the computer works. We had a good week. It passed by really fast. We were all over. First Elder Page left for two days earlier in the week for a meeting thing in Toulouse so I was left here with an English elder that’s in Nice and also pretty young in the mission. Those few days flew by then the same day Elder Page came back there also was a stupid strike for all the trains and busses. The elders from the office who came to bring Elder Page home and the elders from Nice home ended up coming back to pick us up and we headed off to Toulon for another thing we had planned for the evening there. We ended up spending the whole day helping the Toulon elders move into their new apartment which ended up being really fun and relaxing. All of that kind of hurt us because we didn’t end up having a whole lot of lessons this week. The numbers aren’t really the most important thing but we don’t want all the people that see them thinking were just bums doing nothing either. So it’s kind of annoying. The day after that we had a baptism for an eight year old! It was at Cannes so it was good to go back a little and see some people. Then Sunday, I did the confirmation which I think went really well. Sunday this week was actually really good. I knew it would be good when they started with cake for the sacrament bread! They did a little missionary theme and our mission coordination guy talked and the branch president then me and Elder Page. It ended up being good. They had a group of us sing the Armies of Helaman song with Sisters of Zion. We didn’t practice or anything but it turned out ok. Yesterday was the coolest. For p day the elders from Toulon came and the sisters from Cannes and we just chilled on the beach for about four hours. We just sat and talked then we had a football we threw that around a lot made sand castles got our feet a little wet. I’ll try to send you some pictures. Then last night we ended up going to Nice. There was a member that called asking if we could come with him to translate for him to talk to an English guy that he works for. So we did. It was fun. The guy was a member and he really just does garden work for him so it wasn’t anything too complicated. For our amis: Tonight we’re going to go see a Tahitian lady named Ms D- she’s really cool and came to church a few times but then her husband left for a military mission for a few months and she doesn’t want to come without him. But I’m sure she will when she comes back. They have a little boy named -I don’t know how to spell it but –Hedihtai. We see them a lot. Then we have Soeur F. -also Tahitian- she’s not a member but her husband is. They come pretty much every week and she knows everything. We’re just trying to get her to make the decision to be baptized. We’ve been seeing a girl named Ph. She’s the granddaughter of a member and she comes to church pretty much every week. She was really close to being baptized then she got into a bad scooter wreck doing wheelies with her boyfriend and hasn’t come to church or really can’t see us too often for awhile. I hope we can start seeing her more because she is really close. We have lots of other people. Lots of the people just like to talk. Some are open-some have known the church for a long time and just don’t really do anything. That’s frustrating. We’re always finding and dropping people. We just need to find a few now that are serious and are willing to do things. We taught a really good lesson to someone that left on vacation and is coming back this week so we’ll see how that goes, too. I’ll try to send y’all pictures now! Love y’all, Taylor
