Qoui de neuf? Whats up? Thank you as usual for your great emails!
I loved them! Before I write to much sorry for any typing errors.
I am used to the key boards in France and the ones here are German.
It is actually just like the American keyboard, but just has the y and
z switched. But it is still way hard!
Bienne is great! The language barrier really doesn´t exist: Everyone
seems to speak either French or English. But it is way nice to
be in Switzerland. It is such a beautiful country and everything
seems to be run very well, although, everything is very expensive.
I did pull out 50 francs today to buy post cards and stamps and
I may have to use some personal money for trains this week
because I have to get my train tickets reimbursed each week,
and I had to buy a "demi-carte" which allows me to get half off
on all trains in Switzerland. We take trains a lot, probably every
day for about 20 minutes because it is a lot
easier to do work in a little ville that is actually French.
That is because
for the most part the little towns outside of Bienne/Biel are either
one or the other.
Yeah, my companion is pretty sweet. He is a lot different than me,
but that is good. He has been out for a little over a year.
I am not going to lie, he is really quite and kind of into animation
cartoons. I do feel like the senior companion and do most of the
talking. Its good for me though. it will help me out in the long run.
I really do like being the one pretty much in charge,
but that probably isn´t always good.The work here is already
going great! They already had a baptismal date set
when I got here, but that one is pretty week because
he doesn´t come to church. But actually, last week, like my
second day here, a man started talking to use
in the gare, train station, and said he had talked with
missionaries in the past but was unable to be baptised
because he was living with his girlfriend. He is
from the country Georgia, and that was actually 8 years ago.
We have been teaching him all week and we actually fixed
a date for baptism for him on the 28th of this month!
His name is Emil and he is a great man. It is amazing the
many miracles I see each day. I love being a missionary.
