Do you guys still have those same missionaries in the ward?? Or different ones now? And aaaactually, heads up with what's happening with the iPads for real.....they are having all the families of elders in 'well to do' countries pay for their missionaries 'mobile device'. So we're keeping the iPads in the mission and will get to bring them home too! I'm not sure exactly how it's all supposed to work out because the letter we got from President was really vague. Missionaries definitely should not be just doing that (using the video to teach the lesson), but  I have used videos from time to time when I leave dinner messages. They are extremely helpful for teaching, organization, and are very convenient to carry around. I was extremely skeptical myself of missionaries using iPads, but when used correctly they are very powerful tools. And when I use a video when leaving a message it is 1. When I'm prompted to and 2. Always backed up with an actual spiritual thought and/or scripture. The explanation for expenses from my debit card. I've spent $400 on a bike and repairs. The McDonalds one. There was a homeless guy who turns out, is an inactive YSA. He was sitting on the ground outside a shopping center. Had a broken arm. So I told him to come to McDonalds with us and I bought him a dinner. 

We've dropped a few investigators and have referred a whole bunch that should have been a while ago. Everything is just kind of slow. We haven't done anything noteworthy. We set as many appointments as possible, and more often than not they end up no being there or say they can't meet right then. So then we try to just visit potentials or investigators in the area. And no one is ever home during the day so it is super frustrating! And that's why I haven't written a lot about what we've been doing. I'm not actually teaching any French speaking people right now. I just try to speak to Spanish people and the best I can speak is French...thank you for the spiritual thought! And don't worry about pants burnings, we only do it 4 or 5 times a week! (Just Kidding)
