Well hello everyone.
It has been a longer week. But the first weeks of the transfer are always the longest. Arras is good, but I am really struggling with leaving behind Liege. I had a lot of fun there. The hardest thing with Arras is that it feels really lonely. It is so far away from anything else, and we never hear from other missionaries. We are kind of in the middle of nowhere. We are like halfway between Paris and the coast, where all the action is. But we do actually have a nice apartment.
That thing about the caves sounds cool. I actually kind of have heard about it and seen pictures. Now it makes more sense, well actually it just confirms what I thought it was saying when I heard it French, but it sounded kind of weird so I wondered if I was misinterpreting something. But i think it is interesting.
Anyway it is a really slow city. There isn’t a lot of action or investigators or anything. Just a lot of walking around, which makes it really hard on me mentally. I have really been struggling with that a lot lately. We will see what happens. But I have been having a lot more problems. I am going to be talking to the mission president on Thursday. But I am going to meet an apostle on Thursday. We are going up to the Netherlands on Thursday to meet elder nelson for mission conference. That will be cool. Plus on Wednesday I am going to the coast for the day, in Calais, to work with my trainer, Elder Valenza for the day. So that’s cool too and the other cool thing is that we have a credit card for all our travel in the city so I will get to maybe save money this transfer since I don’t need to pay for all this travel.
Well that’s about all I got. I love everyone and I feel especially horrible for dad. I hope things start looking better for him.
Elder Curtis
