Oooohhh we're halfway there!
3 weeks down, 3 to go! This past week has been great. The
days have been blurring together a bit, but I still have wonderful experiences every
day. This Sunday, the MTC President, President Martino, was in our zone's
Sacrament meeting and in my District meeting as well! He is from the south and
is super cool. He brought some great comments and insight into our meeting and
it was a really cool experience. I was a bit nervous being in charge of the
meeting, but he made me feel good about it. He really is an awesome guy!
Sunday's here are absolutely amazing and are some of the most spiritual days I
have ever had.

This Monday was also a pretty good day! The solar eclipse,
even though we weren't in the path of totality, was still really cool. I
convinced my teacher to let us have our class outside which was great; the
lighting was amazing! It was so eerie and strange; I had never experienced
anything like it. I shared some solar viewing glasses with my district so they
could all look too and we got some pretty good views of it. I hope I can see
the next nearby eclipse in a few years! We also had a great "Family Home
Evening" thing on Monday with the zone, and it was a really gorgeous place
for a meeting. We talked about whatever we want, such as random scriptures or
thoughts and it was a really spiritual meeting! I love the Elders and Sisters
in my zone.

The two new Elders in our room, Elder Hable and Elder Marsh
are really cool! We've been getting along super well and we hang out with them
a lot. Elder Hable's family works for the state department, and spent a little
less than the past year in Indonesia! He's also lived in the Washington DC area
too, so we talk a lot about that stuff. Apparently, Sam Gustafson is one of his
best childhood friends! What a small world!

French is hard, but it's coming along so well. Our lessons
continue to get better and better, and it’s absolutely insane to see how much
we have improved. I know I keep saying it, but the gift of tongues is so real!
It's hard to describe, but it's so awesome.

Sorry for the shorter email this week, the days are pretty
much the same, but I hope I've talked about enough! love you all so much!
Love,
Elder James
