Stake Conference/Scheduled baptisms

Hey. This week's French; "Oui, je sais que je ne suis rien; pour ce qui est do ma force, je suis faible; c'est pourquoi je ne me vanterai pas de moi-meme, mais je me vanterai de mon Dieu, car, avec sa force, je peux tout faire; oui, voici, nous avons accompli, dans ce pays, beaucoup de grands miracles pour lesquels nous louerons son nom a jamais." (last weeks French was: "Et oh quelle joie, et quelle lumière merveilleuse je vis! Oui, mon ame était remplie d'une joie aussi extreme que l'avait été ma souffrance." Translation: And oh what joy and what marvelous light I saw! Yes, my soul was filled with joy as extreme as was my pain)

Monday we went into Paris for a while and just took pictures just to take pictures, pretty much just of the Eiffel Tower. So we just kind of loitered about there for the afternoon. We've been going to institute in Paris Tuesday and Thursday nights lately because we have Cedric to take. So that's pretty cool to see all the young adults from the area and stuff. It's been good to have Cedric who goes to basically anything he can.

Yesterday was Stake Conference, which was kind of weird. It was pretty far away from here, we had to go into Paris then take an RER pretty far south. Anyways it was just in some business conference type center place and didn't feel like a church meeting. We were on bleacher seats and there was a stage in front with spotlights and stuff, like places like that. The stage had the choir people sitting in back and then there was a stand/microphone and by that a long table with a white tablecloth where all the speakers and people were sitting. It was lightly decorated with flowery things and they each have a bottled water, like some business conference or something. It was weird.

But Cedric came and really liked it, which was good. He has been thinking about it and has decided he would probably rather push forward his baptism while me and Elder Evans are still here. He's been thinking maybe December 19, which will be like week 2 of next transfer. I hope I'm still here. He's doing great, he reads everything, comes to everything and loves pretty much everything. Also Jeff, the other équipe's ami, is being baptized this Sunday, which is awesome.
