4th of July

We met our new mission president, President Mudock. There are some minor rule changes such as 60 minutes on the Computer. I shall learn to manage.

Any who we did an exchange with the new assistants of the mission and then the night after, the old assistants randomly showed up and surprised us. Today, the zone leaders randomly decided to drop by. So things here have been, needless to say, stressful.

On a lighter note Gioacchino was baptized and it was amazing!!!! Not a ton of members that came but our recent convert soeur tomescu who was baptized the week earlier, gave the prayer in french and it was a very big deal because she has only prayed in Romanian. After she said amen she announced," that was that... first prayer I have ever given in french..." She was so proud! We were so proud! awww the spirit was strong!

Elder Smedley and I had the opportunity yesterday, to go to the local famous cathedral and listen to the concert of the organ. It was crazy epic in France HUGE organ playing Bach and all manner of epic ness with massive statues and all manner of huge medieval flair.

There are tons and tons of German, Hollanders and English tourists so we are contacting many people in English it is so weird! Also a member family came from Germany and sang for the sacrament meeting. It was very moving. I feel so ignorant in such a historic place as France and Béziers. There is so much history and now I am learning to appreciate it. Still not fully understanding art but the history is a good start.

Today HAPPY INDEPENDENCE!!!!!!!! Today we organized bowling here in Béziers for a couple companionships so exciting!!!! BOWLING!!!!

love,
Elder Garlock
