62nd letter from France (the Bureau)


Hey,Thanks for your email. It seems like everything is going good. I hope you have a good trip back home. I’ll try not to think about y’all being back there too much but it might be hard. Well it’s the last week of the transfer. This has been easily the fastest week since I’ve been here in Toulouse. I guess for a few reasons; there’s always a lot to look forward to for the new transfers. Then also we had lots of lessons and we were able to fill up almost every day teaching, which makes everything much more enjoyable. And it’s been pretty calm in the office so no one has been stressing over anything which makes it nice. I’m sure this week won’t be at all the same but at least we’re relaxed now, recharged and ready to work hard! As for our rendez-vous’, they all went well. We were able to fine a few new people also so that’s good. We’ve been teaching this lady, Denise from Trinidad. She was baptized in Agen then moved here to Toulouse about three years ago but hasn’t ever come in contact with the church here. Her number was given to us by a French missionary that taught her then came back just to see how things were going. We’ve seen her and her family a few times now but she has always been reluctant to come to church. We invited her to a barbeque and movie night our ward had Friday night and she came with her family. That was one cool thing of the week. Elder Wright’s brother got his mission call this week for Rome, Italy so he’s pretty excited about that. He also has another brother that’s in South America somewhere. He won’t see either of them until a while after he gets back. Tonight we have a rendez-vous with an African guy named éluge. I really, really hope he’s there because we turned down a FHE with a really cool family to see him and it’s not like were invited over that often. Oh yeah, there was this American guy at church from Washington DC, so we were talking and he said he kind of had some friends down in Louisiana. So ends up its Jeff and Debbie B.! He was saying that it’s been a really long time since they’ve been in contact and he wanted there address or number or just whatever. So I have his email. This guy said that M. was named after one of their daughters but they haven’t really talked to them since then. Actually I told him you could email him with whatever information you could get. He’s a really nice guy so just send him an email. He will be happy to hear from you. So that was kind of cool. It’s always a little weird to speak with Americans in English. This week we had to drive to Montauban to drop off some things for their apartment. It was just another little old French town but kind of cool. It was hard driving our big van around their little centre ville but we made it. I was driving. I guess that was probably the most stressful part of the week. Other than that everything is good! I’ll start getting a package ready to send home when you get there. That will be better. I’ll talk to you later! Love y’all, Taylor
