Hey Family!!!
hows everyone doing? some of you are slacking whats going on!?!?!? haha jk
well this week has been kind of crazy, first we found out that i was getting a new companion so Elder Eaton was outta there, we went and stayed with our Zone Leaders Tuesday night and hung out with some of the other missionaries in Lyon until my new companion came in.
His name is Elder Lemich and he's from Wyoming, although his family lives in Cedar City now (sounds kind of familiar to me hmm..) umm and so far we're doing some good work, which we'll tell you about later. anywayz so we got back to St. Etienne, wednesday and got unpacked and then went and visited a Less active, etc, just doing work, thursday was work, until thursday night when we had to go to lyon because we had a bus from there at 6 in the morning to Geneva for our mission conference in which Elder Malm an area authority or something cool like that came and spoke to us. so we got to lyon at like 7:30 that night and we had to walk from the gare (Train station) to the Gerland (a part of lyon) elders apartment, which took us like 1 hour ugh... haha. then we woke up the next morning and got on our bus and drove to geneva where we had the conference (i got the package mom THANKS!!) then took a train at 6 at night to lyon and then a train to st. etienne! yay home! haha.
then on saturday we basically ported like ALL day. ugh, but it was actually not that bad, and we had a great experience, the first door we knocked on was this lady who we have a rendez-vous with tonight. cool stuff. so then yesterday we had church and stuff and then we visited the famille cheng who is a recent convert family from china who don't speak a word of french... cool huh? then we got done there and we had about 2 hours before we were supposed to be in and we still needed 4 finding lessons for goal (a finding lesson is where you contact somebody, you teach, testify and invite [either to repentance, or like another meeting time etc]) and so we started to port and we got 1, then we knocked on this ladies door who was like from France but lived in Florida for 3 years and spoke english and stuff and her husband was american, a lot of cool stuff like that and we taught her the first lesson, then we went and got the other 3 finding lessons that we needed and went home, it was way cool that we were able to do that i think... this is going to be a great transfer and we're going to see a lot of miracles so stay tuned haha!
i love you guys so much! thanks for supporting me in everything!
