Feeling good about the French language

Here's Elder Lyman's email which arrived Monday, July 20th, 2009!

"Monday again. To Answer questions: I'm feeling fine about my French, it's not great but it's not a real source of stress or anything usually, but some days are better than others. We haven't been able to contact our Chinese amis for a while but I think we will soon and will continue teaching them. Right now we are teaching them, a referal from a recent convert, a less-active guy and his girlfriend and trying to get ahold of other amis.

It has been really hot around here, it was really bad a couple weeks ago for a while but it's gotten better recently, but yes the humidity is what makes bad and I'm not sure how hot it has been exactly.

We've done a tiny bit of teaching this week but mostly have had a lot of trouble getting ahold of people. We did have zone conference which was cool because Elder Caussè, a seventy, was here. He is, I believe, the first French general authority. So he did the zone conference and he is really cool. He did all the training and stuff and it was really hot and everyone was tired, so to keep us from sleeping and being bored he switched back and forth from English to French. I was really impressed with him and it was really cool to meet him.

Yesterday after church we ate at a member's house and that was really cool. The family is kind of one of the big names in the church in France and they are really cool. I'm just waiting to hear some day Franck Poznanski announced as a new general authority. He is also President Staheli's counselor so you need to be on your best behavior around him. It was really cool though as it generally is there. Those were pretty much the noteworthy things that happened this week.

Anyways as usual I need to get going to FHE.

Love and miss everybody.
