Hello everyone, how's it going? 

I am still in Paris, TN.  I have been here since the first part of August and am kind of looking forward to a change. lol. We have one week left of the transfer and then I find out if I'm staying or if I'm going...  It's 29 degrees outside right now. The past 2 days it has rained about 8 inches of rain. This past week has been pretty cool. So a funny story, we had interviews Friday and as soon as I sat down President Mckee told me I need to drink more water, lol. I was also told I have been put in the hardest areas in the mission... I don't know what he meant by that, but it's good to know it's supposed to be a hard area. (It's not really a hard area, other missionaries just complain a lot. lol)   

So some cool things that's happened since I have been in Paris: I have really studied the quad and I'm almost done. lol  I'm either 60 or 80 % of the way done.  I have not been studying  the D&C too much, though.   I have broken down all the writings into styles of record keeping, use of words in cultural meanings and I have come to this conclusion abought the bible: the only way to understand it is to rely on the Holy Ghost and personal revelation.  That being said, the bible or (books in greek) is supposed to support the Book of Mormon and the other testaments of the 12 tribes...and the testimonies on the Gentile nations ...   It's pretty cool.    

Love,
Elder Caleb Poulson
