Elder Fitch: August 1, 2011


HELLO!!!
 
This week in Montauban.....pas grande chose. I love it here though! it's so nice to be in a different city! and i really like the little branch of members here. they are very awesome.
I gave a talk in sacrament yesterday on searching diligently to learn of Christ, it was based off of Elder Utchdorfs talk last conference called Waiting on the Road to Damascas, it is super good i recomend it. it was a little intimidating doing a talk in french, but i went for a good 20 minutes and i was understood, i think haha. but if nothing else i learned alot in preparing it.
Our recent convert Auguste is doing awesome! he is SO cool. There are not alot of people that are like him.
 So i forgot to mention what our appartment is like....well it's Very small. we have an evil portugese lady that lives under us that always beats on her cieling if we step too hard, oh and we have a lovely infestation of cockroachs! what we do for fun in montauban is we hunt them. they're mostly in our kitchen. it is very gross, but be of good cheer i've killed about 10000 so far, unfortunately i probably haven't made a dent. it's very very gross....and thats all i have to say about that.
 
so what else, oh so we've had a few rdvs with creepy jimmy, he is definitley very special, we're not quite sure what to do with him. other than that not a lot of investigators, BUT it is alot more than we had in NImes. Rdvs work a lot more often, not as many Smirfs, haha im Canadian eh?
 
the weather was very rainy but it's starting to get hot again, and i'd also just like everyone to know that 45 degrees is well over a hundred, so poor hanny.
 
Again we are the only missionaries in the city but my district is awesome! its us, Albi and Toulouse which makes about 14 missionaries which is normally a zone, actually the zone and the district are the same right now. im in the same district as Elder Turley from the MTC i saw him last week too it was awesome.
 
whoo!! i LOVE being a missionary! Hurrah for Israel!! LOVE YOU ALL
