Greetings fellow missionaries!
I hope that you are all doing well. I thought I'd take some time to update you on whats going with me right now. I arrived in Paris on schedule yesterday and only had minor difficulties in locating my luggage and finding the gate where my other team member was arriving. I did not get much sleep on the plane so yesterday was experienced in a fog of sleepiness but I managed to stay awake until about 8 o'clock. The family I am staying with has a son who attends ACU and they are very hospitable though they speak very little English and I speak very little French.
Even though I have only been here a day I have already had some interesting experiences. For instance, while at the airport I saw a movie being filmed and a protest being held. Also when I woke up this morning for breakfast I accidentally got a small glass of wine instead of a small glass of grape juice (who knew wine came in boxes?). I am feeling great right now and I am excited to get started with language school (we start Monday) though I have to say that I am learning a lot just by being around people who are speaking. I hope everything is well with all of you and that your mission efforts are going well! Au Revoir!
Your fellow missionary,
Ryan

I think Au Revoir means goodbye. It also means adios in Spanish.
I found that out by using the built in translation widget on my computer. I hope you have that widget as well.
As far as other continents go, "Australia" the new movie directed by Baz Luhrmann, has an interesting new podcast about how they made the movie and his creativity.
How is it on that European continent? Different? South America was very different. I'm excited yet nervous for you too man! Paz/peace/paix
Tell them the truth Ryan Jones!!! That you used me for a month, while I paid for everything; meals and trips. That I took you on a camping trip, on Valentine's Day, I paid for to help you cope with your brother's death. That on your brother's birthday, you got blackout drunk and I took care of you while you verbally abused me. That I saved your life because you were alcohol poisoned and were chocking on your own vomit. That after you committed yourself to me and told me to hang on while you sort all this out, you then disposed of me like yesterday's garbage. Tell them the truth!!! I am honorable and will defend this any day and anytime!!!! Why don't you tell them what an abusive alcoholic you are and how you can't it get up normally because you sit at home, jerking off to FART PORN (not a joke people SERIOUSLY-he jerked off to fart porn while I watched-HIS request). Don't you fucking dare lie about me when I treated you like gold and cherished you!!!
