Week 54 (Les Lilas)

Transfers come around again! Let's get right to it!

So if you couldn't guess, I will be staying in Paris Lilas. No, I'm not one & doneing it here. However, I am with Elder Connors, he's off to St. Omer of all places! And there really must be some sort of conduit from here to that district, because Elder Hulet from Calais is replacing him!

As for the week, we had an exchange in Reims which was fun! There was a lot of crazy stuff that happened that day, one of which was getting stopped by the police. They were in their car driving by and stopped by us. They asked us what we were doing, for what church, where we're from, etc. Then they said, OK have a nice day! We think they were just making sure we weren't the Jehova's Witnesses or anything. But it's a neat milestone!

We also had Stake Conference this Sunday. It was really cool since they rented out a cinema to fit everybody, but that made it more difficult to stay awake. There was an area 70 who spoke and I really liked what he was saying, especially because he's a funny guy. His main point was that we can always be happier by making the choice to, whether life is rough, or going just fine. So go out there and make some happy choices!

Avec amour,
Elder Wood

"A giant ball. Can you find me in it?"

"Elder Connors in a cage thing at the park"

"A bike we found. We thought it was some kind of art, but it isn't bolted down. Turns out it's just a bike someone fished from the river."

"The cinéma we had Stake Conference in had a revolutionary idea for couples: Le Duo. A double-length seat with an optional 'Just Friends' armrest built in."

"I've done a lot of Duolingo"
