05/11/09 Heading to Nancy France

Hey, it was great talking to you yesterday, it sounds like a lot is going on back home, and let me tell you, I miss it. Well, I guess I will just cut to the chase, I received my call from President today and it was pretty quick, he said that I will be going to Nancy; it’s in the north part of France. I will be serving with a Frenchy; his name is Elder Leprêtre, I hope that he is easy to get along with. The other thing is that I will be a zone leader, so that should be really interesting. I was just put as Sr. Companion and then he just bumped me up. So this should be a real challenge for me, and I need your prayers.

I will have the opportunity to do some exchanges in Luxembourg, so that should be really cool. I will have hit every country in the mission, maybe even Belgium; I hope so, that would be really cool.

So I leave this Wednesday. I’m not really too excited to go back to France, but what can you do. Anyway, today we are going to be going to Saleve, which is just a really high mountain---- laser tag------ and then to the United Nations. It should be really fun; don’t worry I will steal the pictures from Elder Assays’ camera, and put them on my card, so no need to worry.

Well, I love you all so very much, and I will work on becoming a better person so that you will all notice a difference in me. I don’t want to come back the same person as I was when I left. I love you, and sorry this is so short. I will try to write more next time.

Love
Elder Schmidt
