The day when I turned 20 on the 20th...I am so old...

Hello everyone! This week has been really great!!! I just wanted to thank all of you for the Birthday wishes! It meant so much!!! That made my week!!

Well...Things that happened this week. We got two new people serving in Amiens, Elder Quist and Elder Blackham. Elder Quist is my comp., and 3 transfers below me.  He is a really nice dude and he loves to work so we are getting along great! I am loving it here and am really excited for another transfer in Amiens!!! Elder Blackham is Elder Weston's bleu (greenie), so he just barely came out of the MTC. He is a very funny guy. We are all having a party here in Amiens (A spiritual fun party that is)!!!

The 20th was my birthday and transfer day so I thought my birthday was going to stink but it was really awesome! I got to see my trainer too! I sure miss this dude. Here is Elder Miller and I - 

This week, all of us in the appartement went to a riverside restaurant for my birthday. It was really nice. It is called "Le Quai" Here are some pics!

Well..as missionary work goes Elder Quist and I have been working super hard and I love it!!!  We didn't find anybody but we will soon!  We were able to pray with an old lady and that was good. She said we can pass by anytime so we will be doing that this week.

We were able to meet with one of our amis, Feran. He is from Iraq but we teach him in English. He doesn't understand everything we say but he still understands the main message. He has a lot of questions and I know that our message can do just that!

We also saw Gregory and he is doing worse than before. I think it was because he was hospitalized for a month. He is really down but we just kept on testifying to him that a lot of times God doesn't answer our prayers right then and there. We ended up comforting him and we are still going to pray for him.

Other than that I was able to watch the video with all of my family and friends in it!!! That really made my week. I can't tell you how much you guys have made a difference in my life. I have changed so much since I have been on a mission and have changed so much in my life because of all of you. So thank you for the great birthday! I love you guys!!!

Au revoir!!! Je vous aime!!!

A side note from mom:  Elder Quist is from Washington State where I'm also from and his mom is also a harpist like me.  Small world.
