Elder Josh Laney - C'est la vie! Monday, July 27, 2015. First Week in France! Hey everyone, It's good to send some emails after 2 weeks. It's been crazy! Our flight was terribly long, and we lost our luggage on the way - it didn't connect all the way to Lyon, but we got it the next day. It's so crazy here! I can barely understand them, and they can understand me. sometimes. I'm learning and it's going well. It's awesome here and I'm having a really good time. Josh with first companion, Elder Ambursley.

I'm walking everywhere here but finally getting used to it lol. And. It's interesting because we take trains every week to go to other cities. For meeting other missionaries etc, it's cool. Beautiful countryside around Tarbes. Monday we had p-day and didn't really do anything, lol Tarbes has lots. Of shops, so we visited those and then set up some rendez-vous.
