Hey y'all this week was super fun and full of fun memories for me so let’s hope I can share them with y'all. So on Monday it was a normal p-day. We left the apartment at 10 and got all of our shopping done by 10:30. Then we went to the ZOO. It was the second time for me but the first for Elder Johnson. There was not a single soul at the park. We were seriously the only ones and the animals were all out and being animals because there was nobody there. I have pictures to share with y'all as well. Then after the zoo we did emails and looked at some stores and then did some contacting. Then we went over to Patrick's and ate dinner with him and taught him and Marjan, another investigator. Then on Tuesday we had district meeting. After district meeting I headed up to Strasbourg for an exchange and it was super fun but it rained like the whole time. It is getting very cold here! It’s like a high each day is 5°C! Yea not fun for a Missionary who is from Texas. So I got to see a lot of Strasbourg and it is amazing and HUGE!!! Then on Wednesday I hit my 9 month mark since being a missionary! I can’t believe how fast the time is flying. That it has almost been a year since I entered the MTC!!!! Well so after my exchange in Strasbourg we headed back to Mulhouse and then I headed to Belfort for another exchange yea!!!! So we got to Belfort with just enough time to eat and do some porting. While we were out porting it was the last door we knocked on and it was a young family and they let us in and we prayed with them and had a great lesson. Then on Thursday it SNOWED!!!!!! We woke up to see snow everywhere and it was still snowing. I could not believe what I was seeing but we still did missionary work. We did a service project and some contacting then headed home to Mulhouse where we then taught Ricy at the church and that was Thursday. Friday was a day filled with normal Friday stuff like weekly planning and DMP meeting. We also taught lessons to our investigators Marjan and Ricky and that was really our day. It also snowed some more that day. Yea! This is going to be great. It’s FREEZING here in France!!!!!!!! Then on Saturday we did some contacting in the snow, taught a lesson to Marjan and Patrick and finished up our weekly planning and had time to go porting. But sadly no fun experiences porting because nobody answered. Really so we did not get to talk to a bunch of people. Then Sunday we had church and Patrick received the Aaronic priesthood!!!!!! And we found a family they just came to church it was incredible. Then after church we talked to this family. That night we saw Ricky again and Marjan getting them ready for their baptisms and that was our fun week.
