May 7, 2018 1st week in Paris!!

 May 7,2018

Hi Mom, 

That is cool that you both went on vacation over by Oregon and Northern California. Did you go by any interesting locations like where the Goonies was filmed at? 

Anyways I am doing fine, my first week in Paris Texas has been filled with a bunch of meetings and a ton of members to meet. The weather right now was rainy for two days and hot on the rest. My allergies have been acting up alot so I've been taking some medication even though I don't want to in order to stop my eyes from itching so badly. 

My companion is Elder Twitchell who is from Utah and has been out for over 18 months. My mission president and his wife are pretty nice and we went over to their house on Tuesday.  They are still raising their kids so they must be a young couple. As far as Mothers day goes I will probably Skype you guys around 4, so it will be around 2 for you. Why I don't send pictures I will have no idea, but I will see if I can connect the camera to a computer one of these days. Dallas Texas is a pretty big mission and right now we are in a car and not biking. The good thing is that there is some exercise equipment at the apartment that I've been using over the week to at least gain muscle rather than fat and I've been watching what I eat over here. Anyways I hope your week will be good and I hope to talk to you again soon.

Hi Dad, 

My companions name is Elder Twitchell , and he is from Utah. He has been out for over 18 months now and he is fun to be around. 

We had Ribs the second day I was here which were really good. I have to watch what I eat because we are using a car and not bikes at the moment. Luckily there is some exercise equipment at the apartment that I use during exercise time but not every single day. Other than that I heard from a couple members in the church that a Volcano erupted in Hawaii so I hope it's not destroying the entire island at the moment.

Hi Grandma, 

The area that I am in is pretty good, very rural out here with a lot of Antique shops downtown. They do have an Eiffel Tower in Paris and it has a cowboy hat on top of it. I'll have to get a picture in front of it sometime this week. 

My companion is pretty cool and he is 20 as well, it is going to feel weird coming home later than most missionaries these days. There are a lot of people to teach and we've been busy pretty much during the last week. 

The Mission President is probably in his 40s along with his wife because they are still raising kids here in Texas. 

Nice to know that the Teacher Strike ended, it got annoying to most parents I'm sure. Awesome that your genealogy is going along well, I hope you can find out some more information about your relatives in the future. Anyways thanks for emailing back and I hope to talk to you again soon.
