Hey everybody. So I am here in Limoges and have been since Wednesday. It is definitely not Nogent but I think I'll adjust. It's good too, just in different ways. I guess this is too teach me I was just way too comfortable in Nogent, or maybe I underappreciated it. Nogent is one of the biggest, best functioning wards in the mission, and probably in France. It felt probably about as close to a ward back home as I could get here and just had tons of young adults.
That is not the case here. There are about 40 active members in the ward, and they're mostly old people it seems. In fact this just seems to be an old peopleish city to me. In Nogent whenever we taught with members it was almost always fairly recent RM's, but here we've taught a couple lessons with members and they were in their 70's or 80's both times, not to offend those in the family who are knocking on their 70's or 80's. It seems like about 80 percent of the doors we've knocked so far have been old people. That said, so far I love the old people we've taught with, they're definitely awesome old people. But it will definitely take some getting used to.
Limoges is pronounced Lee-moe-(second "g" in garage). As for any information about it, it is very famous for its porcelaine (I don't know how it's spelled in English, but if that's wrong, the stuff plates and toilets and things are made of). But anyways, I can't really think of other things to say for now. I guess I'll end it. Love and miss you all.

The phone was passed around to his siblings, his nieces and nephews, his grandpa and his mom and dad. Everyone was so excited to talk to Elder Josh. He was happy and sounded great!!
