Yes Cedric's baptism happened Saturday, everything went well. I think he felt good about things. I did the baptizing which was fairly interesting, Cedric is like 6'4" probably and fairly large, and I'm not not 6'4". The water could have stood to be deeper if possible, but couldn't be. I kind of had to push him under, to the point that his feet kind of slipped out from under him, but the job got done. He wasn't confirmed yesterday because he tried and tried and couldn't get somebody to work for him, so it'll be next Sunday done by Elder Perdue, my companion. I'll forward the little e-mail the AP's send out each week with an attachment about a good story from the week or whatever, this week it was about Cedric.
It snowed Thursday and Friday then I think Saturday and Sunday as well. It's just a few inches but buses have been shut down and things have been a mess for a while. It has been crazy because we rely totally on public transport obviously and just at the same time as the storms and buses being shut down the RER (trains we take everywhere) is on strike. So things have been difficult and interesting this week. And it was a crazy week to have all of that happen because of a Christmas missionary concert. All the missionaries in the Paris area have been practicing for a concert, which was Saturday and Sunday nights, for the last month and a half or so. It is kind of a big thing and was kind of crazy. It was in Nogent on Saturday night and Versailles yesterday. With the strike all the missionaries having to get around was interesting but things worked out. We got home way late both nights. Versailles is clear the other side of Paris and we live on the A line of the RER which is the one on strike so that's why we had to get a ride all the way home last night, with mission home elders. But the concerts were pretty cool, some lady named Sister Anderson directs us and puts it together and stuff and she does a good job. After the concerts people just like us, it's mostly members there that liked us before, but they just kind of love us after the concerts. They mentioned maybe putting the video of it on youtube so I'll let you know if they do so.
