Hey everyone,
So this past week went well. I did an exchange with elder Tulley and that was cool. It felt like i was a bleu again (but this time i could understand everything that people were saying). It is cool to reflect back and see all of the progress that we've made. It was good getting to work with him again.
Me and elder Wilson did a lot of porting this week in a fairly nice neighborhood and because it is rediculously hot right now i saw way too many old guys in speedos. I'm looking forward to colder weather when people start putting their clothes back on.
Zone conference this week was on the fourth of July so we sang the star spangled banner, said the pledge, and ate some american cookies. Lucky for us we had the flag that elder Ashton bought from the africans at a street market. I hope you all set off some cool fire works.
Last saturday we had a cool activity for the ward and their friends about the restoration. There was a slideshow with a bucnh of cool pictures as we talked about different aspects of the gosple broken up by musical numbers. It was actually really cool and even though there wasnt a ton of people the ones there all enjoyed it. There is this one really nice recent convert who is the only member in her family who decided to invite her aunt to come with her to the activity. At the end we invited her to share her testimony and it was really powerful and touching for her aunt. It is really awesome when you get to see members share the gospel with there family and friends.
The work continues to progress. Even if a lot of the fruit that we see ends up getting passed to the missonaries in the other ward. I really like it here in Toulouse and I hope i get to stay here for a couple of transfers. I love being able to share this gospel with everyone even though they don't always accept it.
I love you and hope you are all enjoying your summer.
Elder Swenson
