Hey Family!!!
Newest News as of this Morning, I'm headed out of my home.... sad huh? i'm going to Valence and am going to be with Elder Jensen (idk if i've ever said anything about him but he was my district leader my...2nd Transfer) so it should be FUN! but i'm really sad to leave. if you were planning on sending anything to me in the next week send it to the mission home until i can get my new address figured out.

umm so this week we kind of fell apart.... well not necessarily us, but our amis sure did... last week we had our Zone Meeting, and then after that we had to go to Grenoble for elder Lemichs Legality, and we stayed there that night ( and i ran into one of the elders from the MTC who happened to be there for exchanges so we decided to go work some together it was fun, as always) so then we got back to St. Etienne on wednesday and idk what happened but one of our amis who had a baptismal date ciao'd us (said dont come see me anymore) and idk we just couldnt get any rendez-vous it was a hard week... and now i'm leaving how sad... i just ugh oh well new city! haha i love it here though!
Well i guess, hmmm thats about all i can think of for now sorry... happy thanksgiving! and have a great week all!

Hello!
hows everyone doing?
well this week has been pretty cool, although nothing way new and exciting... oh well we had a rendezvous with this guy named Junior, he's from the Congo, and it went way well. the last rendezvous was the First lesson, the Restoration, and we gave him the book of mormon and asked him to read... so he did a little bit and when we got there all that we did was answer questions it seemed like. first we started off with asking whether he had read and prayed to know whether it was true... and as soon as we asked that you could just see in his eyes that he had had his answer it was really amazing and the spirit was soo strong there... it was amazing.
we had a lot of other rendezvous that went alright this week and even our finding went okay... yesterday we decided to contact on both sides of the road so i was all by myself talking to French speakers haha(it was also raining so there wasnt very many). and while i'm not that good of a speaker yet they understood for the most part and it went really well... (at least i think and thats all that matters...) other than that we've just been having rendezvous with a lot of people and i think that we have so AMAZING amis right now... they have great questions and me and Elder Lemich answer them as best we can. and when we cant the member with us can, which there usually is.
We have an amazing DMP here (ward mission leader) his name is frere professo and he just gets it done... he really likes us, which means he puts the trust in us and its really amazing. we're really blessed here and we'll be the first to tell you that its not us but the members here. (its what all the leaders have been trying to tell people.) anyways its going well and thanks for all your support and emails! loves ya much Elder Laws
ps, time is flying, 6 monthes this week AHH!

hey family how are you?!
well everythings going good here and we had an alright week starting with last preparation day and then right on into our Zone Conference for the Transfer! it was really good and inspiring, and we got a lot of great ideas for our area! Right now we're studying alma 26:22 piece by piece every conference and this one was about exercising faith. right now we have a goal for the mission to have every =C3=A9quipe with a baptism this quarter and we talked about how it will take the faith of every missionary to accomplish this goal. and President Peterson talked about how faith has 2 components. 1st belief.... and 2nd Power. so ya, if we have the faith we can accomplish this goal so it should be sweet when we do it.
then just this week has been kind of weird. we didnt have as many rendez-vous this week but it didnt go really slow like normal it was nice. we talked with a lot of people who were really nice and well only a couple really interested... but thats okay because i felt like it was a great week. and to end it off we fixed a baptismal date with Mme Damoizet if you remember who that is. we already fixed a date with her before but she hasnt come to church so we refixed the date with her for december 20th MERRY CHRISTMAS haha!
ummm ya other than that not too much out of the norm is going on here... thanks for all you who asked if there was anything they could do to help...maybe i would ask you but i believe that we arent really allowed to ask for your help with amis and stuff sorry!! thanks though! you can always just pray for me and that should suffice. (because if i have the spirit then me and my companion will be able to help them with everything. well at least what we can) anyways ya...
umm yah have a great week!
