I'll start off by saying that I'm alright, I'm perfectly ok. We are a while from Paris, and so we were not affected in any large way by all the attacks. After a couple of hours of lockdown in our apartments we received the go ahead to go back to work, and so everything is alright at the moment. Thanks to everyone for the prayers on behalf of all those who were affected by the attacks, there are some families that we know here and an ami we're teaching who have loved ones in Paris, and were very concerned, but it seems as though everything has turned out ok for those friends.It's inspiring to see how many people are supporting France right now, and to see the unity in the people here.
Apart from the attacks in Paris, this week was ok. We had a couple of meetings and service projects, and so were not able to do as much work in our sector as we wanted, but still were able to see a lot of people who we were able to help out. The best part of the week was easily the stake conference we had yesterday, where Elder Homer of one of the quorums of the seventy spoke to us. His entire talk was focused on the love of each other and how important it is for us to not judge one another. Only our Heavenly Father knows the desires and thoughts of all of us, and so we must try to work with others and interact with others and not judge them by our own limited knowledge of who we may think they are. It was an inspiring conference, and we all felt the spirit. Again, thank you sincerely for all the prayers for those affected here in France. I love you all, and wish you a great week!
