hey family how is everyone?
well this week has been a fairly good week. it started with tuesday where we had an exchange with the elders of Grenoble and i was in Valence again with elder Baiemonte... something like that. it was a good exchange and we got to see agnes. she's doing really well and is really working towards her baptismal date of the 20th of March. its pretty cool! i'm way excited about all that. (especially since we will both be there for it(me and elder weight). it was transfer calls day and well we didnt get one so we are staying together.) so yeah its been a lot of fun!
ummm.. .then we went about our week and yeah just normal stuff but then Friday came around... now i'm pretty sure i told you this was going to happen but friday Elder Bednar, and Elder Kopishke, came and visited our Mission and so there was a special "mission conference" (elder bednar called it a revelatory gathering or something like that) in Geneve and we all got to go there! it was way amazing because he basically taught us that we didnt need an Apostle or a Seventy to answer our questions, but taht with each other and the SPIRIT! we can get the answers to all our questions. and just taught us the best process to go about getting the spirit and learning was found in d&c 88:122 so yeah... cool stuff! thats not all he taught us but i dont really feel the need to share more sorry. but it has been really fun experimenting with this new process. so its great.
umm other than that nothing else to say oh wait he also said if we come out of lessons saying what a good job we did and good lesson we gave that that was priestcraft.... because we're blocking the spirit from guiding us. basically. haha! he said some way profound things.... but it was amazing!
umm.... lets see.... thats about all i think. love ya! and have a great week!
