 i dont have my address yet sorry... i been pretty busy with alot of stuff this week. like gettting the area ready to close and getting ready to leave and i taught a lesson friday for the stake youth conference and then sunday i taught the Gospel doctrine class too ha lots of stuff. its been fun though. haha the catholic father daigle haha.. he is so funny he is like way sad that we are leaving. he really likes us alot haha. he said he going to cry. he is so going to be a member. if not in this life in the spirit world he even said that we can do baptisms for him when he dies hahah its kinda funny. but i really think he would join the church if he was not so bread catholic through and through like and all his family and ancestors. but ya never know with the Gospel anything possible. he is such a great man. all the people we have met here are so wonderful so many seeds where planted here and they WILL grow i know it..

oh so ya the youth conference was really a cool thing we did this week. it was all on missionary work and missions. all the youth got mission calls and we tought them the first lessons and how to prepare to go and it was soo perfect for me because i got asked to talk on how to prepare spiritually to go on a misson and thats what bishop was wanting me to talk to our boys about haha.. so i got it all ready now haha funny how the Lord makes those things work out:). it was cool to see all the young men and women talking and asking about a mission and they all got learn so much stuff.. i wish i new or at least would have been nice to know it was way cool to be able to help and feel the spirit testifying that the choices they were thinking of making are so true and that it is His work. i really enjoyed it. im really sad a year has already come and gone but i know the best is only yet to come.
