They are a great family. Since they are both are converts, they are VERY missionary-minded. He is on the high council, and teaches the gospel essentials class for our investigators. She is in the Stake Young Women. Adam and Leo are 2 of only 3 YM in the ward... not very many. It is a small ward, only about 65 average sunday attendance. There are only about 15-18 primary kids. Pianists are at a premium... the organist for Sacrament meeting also is the primary pianist. Her mother plays for Relief Society. The whole ward is thrilled because our new investigator, Cait, can play the piano. Everyone here has been so warm and accepting! They also have high expectations for us, so that's a little pressure, but we're up for it! Homework for everyone out there... invite the missionaries to dinner this week!

Our First DA - (dinner appointment)
This is the wonderful Lupien Family. They invited us over for dinner tonight! They are a family in the ward. Roger LOVES going there, because they are French - so he gets to practice his french. (They are originally from Montreal- and have an interesting story. Bro. Lupien was converted in Ottawa - then went to Quebec with friends and happen to meet Sister Lupien there. He was anxious to share the gospel with her & so called the local missionaries in Quebec. Turns out, the missionary who baptised him in Ottawa had been transferred to Quebec & ended up baptising her as well!) Back: Sister Lupien, Brother Lupien, DJ-6 ... Front: Carolie-17, Leo-12, Lydianne-8, and Adam-15. (their oldest, Michele, is at BYU-Provo, living in one of the French houses.)They are a great family.

I can really relate to this ward! Our war currently has one young man, so they keep recruiting Dallin (who turns 12 in December) to join YM activities, such as they are with only one! Our ward is so tiny I'm not sure how it qualifies as a ward! Great to see all you're experiencing on the mission. I spent a couple of days in Paris with the Davis' daughter a couple weeks ago, and the four of us had dinner out last weekend. Such great friends! Take care!
