So you said to tell about my week etc. This week was a pretty crazy, different week actually. I believe I mentioned last week the kind of day we had had Monday, but I don't think I elaborated at all. Anyways we had a rendez-vous that day with an investigator who lives like 45 minutes from Angers so we needed the car which another town of missionaries had taken from us, so we woke up at about 5 and took a train at 6 something to Cholet (where the car now is) and got the car. Then we drove back from Cholet to Angers and didn't really know how to get to the place where our investigator was, so we just started driving on some freeway and called a member who tried to help us, and it turned out the way we had gone was not good, so quite a ways out we turned around and drove back to Angers, and it was already after our scheduled rendez-vous time, so anyways the member gave us directions and we started back and drove a long ways and finally got there way late, but we had our rendez-vous. It actually went pretty well and it was with someone we hadn't taught before and she is now a very promising investigator so that was a good part of the day, but maybe the only one. So at this point with all the getting lost and so on it was already a frustrating day but we drove back to Angers and decided to go shopping for the week before going home. So we went shopping and got a lot of good stuff and had more stuff probably than we had ever gotten before. So all that getting stuff took quite a while (mind you i hadn't eaten at all that day and it was now like 3) so we took it all up to the checkout and neither of our cards would work. So we tried the ATM, nothing, ATM over at Mcdonalds, nothing, and realized it was the end of the month and we don't get more money till the first of the month. So we didn't have enough on our cards but there should have been at least some but we couldn't get anything at the ATM, so we just had to leave our cart there and go home to no food at all. That was pretty much that day. then the next day was interviews (where president Staheli comes and has an interview with everybody and we have a little training from the APs, everybody being all the missionaries in our area come in) and just after that I left with one of our zone leaders (Elder Mendenhall) for Nantes (which is about 45 minutes away) for exchanges. so I was there for a day and didn't do a ton but we did set a baptismal date. I returned on Wednesday and then went back to Nantes the next day for our zone activity, which was soccer. After we were done activitying me and one of the elders from Cholet (Elder Long) came back to Angers for more exchanges. I was on exchanges for Thursday night and Friday and we didn't accomplish much. Then other than that it was a normal week but for the most part not way normal. You asked how many people we teach generally, probably about 1 every couple days . What i eat is pretty much pasta, cereal, omeletts, crepes, pigs in a blanket. not real exciting, I haven't loved the food for the most part so far. I dread eating at members' houses. The cheese is disgusting and smells like dead animals and there are just quite a few questionable things. We have a ward here and there are about 100 members I think. We live in an apartment, it's normal. You'll see pictures if I get around to sending my card. There's my week etc. Thanks for Dane's address. Love you all and miss you all.
