wow. 2 weeks in a row and i have lost my letter on here. (dont miss the shift key and click ctrl instead and type a W... ctrl-W exits out of your window. atleast in france...) i dont have time to rewrite it, so ill just do a small history since christmas.
i decided since the last few days were so cool, i had to write, even though we decided not to.
so friday we went over to Caen for exchanges with the ZLs. i saw the beach and sea for the first time since leaving the SD airport on sept 23.... wow. we did some street boarding, 4 man door to door aproaches (haha), and some street contacting. that night we had a burrito fete (party) which is a mission tradition. and it was way better with 6 elders there too. you just make burritos, but we have to make our own tortillas. which are better than store bought ones. :)
sat we took our p-day and went to the Caen war memorial (WWII) which was neat. they have a sept 11 memorial, too, and we accidentally found out that our tickets included that. :) it was SO GOOD!!! i was choked up for most of the time there. such a good memorial, and we were lucky because it ends that exhibit on dec 31. we also went to the cold war exhibit which had 2 sections of the berlin wall, which was neat. well, we went to the train station (this is where the day went from good, to ok to great.... :D) and found out they had no trains back to rouen that evening. so eventually after trying every other option, we called president and what was decided was to take a train to Paris and then to Rouen from Paris. well, that meant not getting home til one in the morning and a 2 hour layover in paris after bedtime! :) yay for President being the MAN! so thats what we did. took 2 trains- both longer than the ride wouldhave been straight from caen to rouen- and while in Paris, saw the eiffel tower at night and the Champs-ellysee lit up for christmas! :) yay. so cool. then we got home at 1:15. (stupid computer exiting my window. this is way abreviated and i dont have time to sent the pictures i wanted to.... hopefully this place will be opened new years and we´ll come over to do that.)
well, im out of time. im sorta mad at this computer, but whatever. it happened. haha until next time, elder jergalicious
