Ok, well hopefully this will work this week, but how the day is going so far, probably not. Me and my companion feel kind of like Job today. But anyways I'll try to again address some things you had questions about last week and now this week as well. First, I guess don't send letters to my Angers address, they say just to send them to the mission home, and
definitely packages to the mission home. And before I forget, could you send me Dane's Switzerland address. I have gotten some letters now, the ones you sent before I left finally came and then shortly after that a few others, thanks for them. In one there were a couple pictures of castles, on says "Chateau Dangers" (which i assume is trying to say "Chateau D'Angers", which is the castle here, but I don't recognize that part but it is probably just a few i don't recognize or something. Then the other picture said something towers, and it is definitely a picture of the castle here. Anyways ya it is here, we walk around it very often and contact around it quite a bit and it isn't very far from our apartment. You said Mr. Nielson said it is beautiful here and last week when I responded to that I said the city is cool but I'm always inside it so I haven't really seen any of the countryside yet, but because of how our day went today I feel like I have now seen about all of France and maybe a few other countries, which was the one bright spot and if I have time I'll tell you more about the day.
But yes I can now tell you that it is a very beautiful area. Today we had a train ride and it was really cool, a lot of it was along the Loire River which was really cool. so ya it's pretty cool and today kind of made me wish i was just out in the campagne (countryside), it's really cool. But the city is cool too. It's France and it's old and there are castles and big cathedrals and things. by the way you asked how to say the name of Angers as did Mr. Nielson in an e-mail I just got from him. It is kind of like "on" and then "jay" but the "j" sound isn't like josh it is like a j mixed
with a "sh" sound, or something it seems like it would be easier to explain but you can probably get it. Also you asked me to tell more about my companion. I don't know really what else to say. His name is Elder Wagner. He is from American Fork and he is a marine. I don't know what else to tell you, we get along well etc. I guess maybe if you want to know things you'll have to ask more specific questions. Also you asked how I got here to Angers from Paris. Just a train. And you asked how I get around... mostly by bus and walking. Our car got stolen a few days after I got here, not actually stolen but given to other missionaries in another city. So we take the bus every day, and since it doesn't take you right where you need to go or you miss it or so on, we walk a lot. You asked what I do in a day. That varies obviously from day to day. We contact sometimes, we have rendezous with investigators, we ride the bus for an hour to a rendezvous which falls through quite often. Sorry I guess I'm not going to have as much time as I was thinking so I may miss a few things but i'll try to wrap up here. Things I need you to send are: more addresses, just other friends who I may not have etc., and also a kind of weird request, lyrics to songs, like disney movie songs and stuff, don't ask, but some specific ones and I will come up with other ones as time goes on I'm sure, like Goofy Movie, Mulan, Alladin, Hercules and just other ones like that.
Tell Kristi and Mr. Nielson thanks for their e-mails, I thought maybe I'd have time to answer Kristi's but I need to do something else. anyways tell them thanks. and I love you all and miss you all.
