First Email from France!

We got an email from Elder Lyman!!  It was the first communication we had since he left for France 1 week ago.  He is doing great!  Here is part of his email:  "I'm here--'here' is Angers which is in the Loire Valley.  My companion/trainer is Elder Wagner.  He's really cool, I like him a lot and so far things are going good.  He's a marine and he's from American Fork.  We did get to watch conference except for the afternoon session since it was 10:00 PM here.  It was good and it was good going to the church to watch it and talking to some members.  This ward has some really awesome members."


Angers is about 180 miles southwest of Paris

(the email continues) "The first night we had a rendezvous at a member's house with an investigator.  It was a dinner rendezvous with some food I just couldn't eat, a lot of that had to do with the fact that I had no appetite for a few days and also some of it was just gross, like froi gras or goose or duck liver or whatever.

So far the language is quite frustrating but every once in a while I can understand a little bit and it's cool but mostly really frustrating."
