Hello,

Well it has officially been one week here in Bayonne and it is beautiful here! The weather is great, the beaches are beautiful, of course that isn't why I am here but a nice scenery doesn't hurt anything. :)

Tuesday was the day that I sent my last email but in the afternoon we went to the Ward Mission Leader's house with a less active and her husband that is not a member. We had a nice time and watched the film about Joseph Smith.

Wednesday in the morning, we went and saw Soeur Konè. We had a good lesson with her and we were able to give a Book of Mormon to one of her neighbors, which was pretty cool! In the afternoon we passed some people and then saw Dominique, our investigator with a baptismal date. We had a good lesson with her and then had to go to Biarritz, which is right next to Bayonne (we take the bus a lot) to see a less active. Well, she didn't show up for her rendez-vous so we headed back into Bayonne to see another less active, Christina, and we had a really good lesson with her.

Thursday we went contacting in the morning and found one new person that we fixed a rendez-vous with and then ran into an old investigator that they lost contact with and we were abe to fix a lesson with him for the next day, it was great. In the afternoon we went to the hospital to see one of our investigators, well rather the husband of the investigator and then we went and passed by another less actives, there are quite a few here, and then passed some other people before going in.

Friday, in the morning, we had an awesome lesson with our investigator Madam Desclos! It was great and she said that she would be at English Class and at General Conference on Sunday. Afterwards, we went to the church for our meeting with the Ward Mission Leader and then had a lesson with Jean-Louis at the church. He is a younger guy that is super cool and nice. We had a great lesson with him and then headed to the the Horner Family, which is a less active family. We had a nice lesson with them and got them to start reading again in their scriptures. We then headed out to eat dinner with Frère Vierat and then came home.

Saturday we had English class, Jean-Louis, Madame Desclos, her children, and a couple members came and it was really good! We then hurried to go see Pascal, a recent convert, and had lunch with him. We then did some passbacks and contacting until Conference started.

Sunday was General Conference for pretty much the entire day! It was great! I hope that those of you who watched it enjoyed it. We had three investigators that ended up coming, which was awesome!

I hope that all of you have had a great week and will have a great week this week as well. I love you all and pray for you daily. Hope to hear from you soon!
