Bonjour from France

So we didn't get enough time at the church yesterday, my companion got none in fact i was the only one who had time, so we came by a internet cafe to email a bit more for them. So I decided to send a short note.

We have mission conference on wednesday which will be a lot of fun. Except that we have to wake up at like 5 so we can get ready and be on the bus at 6:15 to get to the gare for our train to Paris that leaves at like 7 or something. But the good news is, I will get to see Elder Ellsworth and Elder Lee there along with the rest of the Elders in the mission. Which will be way cool. Elder Ellsworth actually called me on thursday I think and we talked for a bit, we are both excited to see eachother again so that will be awesome. Also, I will get to go around Paris a bit after conference and probably see the Eifel Tower and maybe Notre Dame. Interesting fact, Notre Dame is actually white. They cleaned it in the past few months and it came up white not grey, so expect some pictures of that one of these days.

All is well here, I am very happy and am throwing myself in the work. It is still slow with the language but I am picking things up pretty quickly. It is nice having another equipe in the apartment to talk to and get advice on the American side, like calling cards and things like that. So that is nice to have.

But it is a lot of fun here and I am glad to be out. It was a hard decision at first and a lot of things came up that I could have just quit and stayed home, but I am glad that I came out. I have no regrets from leaving. I am glad that I don't have emotional baggage back home. School is always in the back of my mind but I don't worry about it. Life will be there when I get back so why should I rush it? I get two years to serve the Lord and live in France, what else could I ask for? Life is good for me now and I just don't want to lose that. Just thought I would let you know that I am enjoying everything and that life is good. Wish you could be here to enjoy it but maybe in two years you can.

Things are really beautiful here and I will try to get more pictures of Angers itself for next week so you can see the things like the Cathedral and the Castle and just the natural things as well.

Love, Elder Sanborn
