morgan 8.3.10

Alright, so first things first. Sorry my letter is a day late. We had zone developement yesterday. Well mom, yes we did see the fireworks on the 14th. It was Incredible!! We sat on our window and watched it from our roof. So cool! For those who dont know there is a GIANT castle in Carcassonne that every 14th of July they have an amazing firework show. It was so cool!
Well the baptism of Jessy is still on but it cant be the 14th because she flaked out for church again. She has to come at least 2 or 3 times. So hopefully the 21st and we are going to try and push the date of Charles-Henri forward and have a double baptism the same day. Vanessa is still the most faithful ami we have. She is very honest in everything she does. When she says she is going to do something she does it!!
Sunday after church we went to go eat at the bishops house. His house is so cool!! I love our bishop! He lives 30 min from Carcassonne in a little village in the mountains. It is beautiful! We went there with Vanessa and her fiancé Benoit and her son Elvin (he is such a stud he is 4). After our little lesson we had the bishop bore his testimony on how he found out that there was a God. It was so powerful!! I really think he is going to convert. It might take some time but as for now he prays with Vanessa every night. Her little son Elvin prayed for the first time by himself it pretty much made me cry. It was so cool! We are still just waiting for a marriage date to set the baptismal date. It will probably be in October. I am most likely not gunna be here. I personally think I am going to leave in 2 weeks. But we will see. I want to stay though.
We just found out that we are getting the missionaries from Béziers in our apt. next week. There is a Feria in Béziers so they have to come here. It is going to be so fun. One elder is from orem. He went to school with me, he was in my photo class and just got out here last transfer. The other elder is from China. I am so excited to live with 4 missionaries. We are planning on doing what jord did and drawing the plan of salvation with sidewalk chalk with all the bishops daughters (he has 7 and 1 boy).
I talked to a guy on the phone the other day who knew dad when he was on his mission. He was English i think and he said that he served in Carcassonne like 20 yrs ago. I told him that my dad did too, I told him dads name and he said he knew him while he was here. Not well but he knew him. Cool!!
Well yeah here in France there are no sailboat races or anything like what Jord is doing up in the north but I taught a 42 year old man to ride a bike. He can do it perfectly now. How is TY doing with her new missionary? I would love to train. I think... we'll see.
Well Mom and Dad that is so cool you hiked timp at night, it reminds me of when me and jon did it last year. He was SO scared!! haha I love him! Brig! you ready for school? Sage, whats new with you? Sadie, who are you playing with lately? Cole, are you playing football this year? still going to orem? Chan, What the heck?! your papers started yet? where is austin?? Dad, next step, Bishop. haha. I am so happy to here Court is doing better!! Wow, that is scary!!
Thanks for all your help everybody I love you all!!
