Hey everyone,
Things are going well. the first order of business is...
SOEUR LINDSTROM HAS HER MISSION CALL!!! To the Baltic States. I am so excited. I hope that you added her to the list like I asked. I am so proud of her and I am so excited to write her. I may have to go volunteers at the TRC or just happen to go to the same temple session one day... I am so excited for her.
Things are good. We had a busy week. Things are going well and we have been very busy. Things with Suzie, Val, and Jean Claude are really picking up and I will mail home a very long letter I wrote today with all the details.
Our new apartment is just outside of the 12° sector of Paris. It is in the Ile de Frace and that means that it is considered Paris. It takes just minutes to get to the Notre Dame et the Eiffel Tour. But my ville is called Nogent. I am right next to the Forest of Vancenne. The Floral Park of Paris is right next to my house.
The Apartment is 45m² and has a bathroom(with a tub and shower), a water closet, a nice little kitchen, livingroom and bedroom. It is a large apartment in an older building, but the building is well kept. We love it and it will be really nice once we get dressers and things like that to organize. I kinda think I will just repack my suit cases and get ready for the transfer in 2 weeks. I doubt I will stay in Nogent, though I like it a lot and would love to. The apartment has nice clean, fresh white walls and has beautiful wood floors. The only problem is... We haven't had electricity for most of the time we have been there. We had an electrician come today and he fixed most of it. I am glad that we got into it, even though I won't really get to enjoy living there for much longer.
Things are good. We had a lot of changes last week. One of the Elders got midnighted, meaning transfered with no or little notice. He opened a new equipe and the newer Elder is training someone who had visa problems. The newest elder is nice, has a hard time with French, but a lot better than I was my first week... So he will be fine. This is a good ward to be new in, a lot of work and a lot of members who speak English.
We had a lot of miracles this last week. We also had a run in with some members of another church who like to bible bash and are not very sweet.
Elder Harris is cool. We had a nice chat about the livestock show. He told me that it would help his mom to know that there are a lot of us from Cedar out here.
There is an aribic man who is mute sitting next to me and he is doing sign language to his girl friend online. He keeps asking me for help with his computer and I really don't know how to help him.. But I think he has figured it out. Everyday is an adventure.
We didn't get a pday today. We had RDVs because today is the only day that anyone can see is. We haven't had a real pday in 3 weeks and that is kinda draining, but I think we will get home around 8:30, so we will get 30 minutes of a dinner... Maybe I will just go to bed early..

1. Tell us about your new apartment. déjà fait
2. Were you able to see the stock show pictures? yep. The boys looked cute
3. What is the weather like? today it is a little chilly, but nice. The sun is out and that is a change. It has rained a lot
4. When are transfers? 2 weeks
5. Are you healthy? Yep
6. Do you need anything? Nope
 
Have fun, I hope you are all doing well.
Love,
Soeur Hulet
