Hey, sorry it’s so late! We just got back from Carcassonne -the coolest place ever! We had to take a train about an hour away to go but it was way worth it. It’s just a huge medieval castle and city filled with knights and jousting stuff. Look at it on the internet when you get the chance cause its really awesome. We went with the Soeurs and another ysa from the other ward. Also, it was fun talking to Soeur Daun cause she’s leaving Monday..weird. So our week went well, pretty fast like always. We had quite a few lessons and stayed pretty busy. President Carter’s son came back from his mission this week so that’s kind of exciting though I haven’t met him yet. Hopefully he will come around one day or maybe to church Sunday.We went and had a fhe with this one family and it ended up being pretty fun. They must have liked it cause they invited us back tomorrow. Tomorrow morning is our district meeting so I’m kind of worried about that cause it’s not really prepared or anything. Well, it is just not enough so I’ll need to work on that some more.This week I did an exchange with a much younger missionary, Elder Keadle. He’s from Rexburg, Idaho so it was cool to talk about all that. The coolest part was we spent pretty much the whole day teaching and seeing amis so it was cool. He liked it a lot especially because the week before they had taught a lower number of lessons than we did in this one day. They are in a little town called Colomiers right outside of Toulouse and they kind of struggle sometimes but we had a good day together.Also Sunday was a kind of missionary based sacrament meeting, the talks and all which wasn’t really planned but there were so many members on vacation they figured they could rely on us for the talks and stuff. I didn’t really do much but we did sing which I wasn’t super excited for but it ended up ok. I forgot to tell you though that a few weeks ago I gave like a 10 -15 minute talk at a baptism which I though ended up really good. Baptism talks are always the hardest because there’s always that weird tradition where the talks and stuff are more personal and touchy so in French it makes it even harder but I think I did pretty good. That’s about it. We have a pretty good week planned. We’re gonna be pretty busy until Thursday or Friday but we’ll probably find stuff for then, too. We’re doing an exchange with the "chef de zones" or ZL's this week also. It should be good. So next week is the transfer so everyone will be leaving and coming. We’ll probably be super busy trying to bring everyone around even more than normal cause there are I think 13 leaving.I hope you have a fun time when Dad gets back. Ok, we got to go. We have a few people to see tonight. Have a good week. Love y’all, Taylor
