Hey Family How Are You?

well this week was GREAT!!! yay!!!
it was an awesome time so i guess i'll start from the beginning which was monday!
last pday, well wasnt the greatest and we didnt really do much but that doesnt matter too much.

then tuesday we took a train to lyon and had our zone meeting there and we stayed in lyon for exchanges with our zone leaders. which was really good for a couple reasons, one, the elder i was with is from Paris, thus speaking french and another because its good to see how different people do things here and so ya, it helped a lot which is the point.

so then we got up and came back wednesday morning at which point we went porting, (which our finding this week was absolutely ineffective) then we had a rendezvous (appointment) with mme damoizet, in which we talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ. and the importance of repentance baptism faith gift of the holy ghost and enduring to the end, and in the end we invited her to be baptised and she was worried at first but we got her to understand the importance (the spirirt got her to understand) of doing these ordinances by the right authority and she accepted it was sweet!

then we had another rendezvous with this way nice, but also way crazy (i use the word crazy here lightly, because well theres a lot of crazy people here) and ya, it was a good night.

so then on thursday we had to go to lyon for a legality check for me, health check, and i'm kind of suprised i passed because one of the things they ask for is the immunization record and i dont know if i've told you yet but i didnt finish my immunizations in the MTC because i had to leave so early but anyways i passed and so on to the next step sometime! haha! then we came back and visited a crazy less active lady in our ward but shes nice and didnt take up 2 hours of our time like last time haha! then tried to find people which we weren't very successful at doing like i said earlier.

friday we had our planning session and set goals and stuff which was relatively painless as far as that goes, and tried to find people then we had a rendezvous with mme damoizet again but she wasnt there!!!! nooo!!! haha, not that funny though. bah, so then we went and saw mme nercessian ( the crazy lady ) and had a good chat with her. the end.
Saturday yay! first we had samedi sportif and our sweet recent convert chinese family came and brought a friend who we're now teaching! yay! and we had a good time there, then latter we went back to the church and had a member visit which was really good, then ya went and tried to find people/ see mme damoizet (wasnt there again!!) so ya we had an ok day.

SUNDAY!!!! we rocked sunday man amazing. we got up and went to church and had 3 amis there it was sweet! we taught 2 seperate lessons during sunday school because well the chinese guy speaks english but not french and the other amis were french. so i got to teach in english yay!!! haha! i was actually useful haha! so we had a good time at church then after church we went to a members house for lunch and then straight to the famille chengs apartment (recent convert chinese family) and taught them a lesson and then their friend came and we taught him a lesson then we had another rendezvous with mme nercessian then after we went to check if mme damoizet was home and she was yay!! and that got us home barely on time at 930 haha!
it was a sweet week and the savior blessed us sooo much. thanks for all your support and have a great week!

a la prochaine
