Hey Family how are you?
well this week was another interesting one too! last week of course we were in Grenoble for Preperation day and we got to play basketball and football which was extremely fun (suprised them all in basketball). and then we had Interviews with President Peterson the next day. it was a lot of fun and i Love the Petersons! (i'm sad that they are leaving this summer) its also good to get some 1 on 1 time with president peterson. They are great people! after that this week has been full of finding people. which actually went alright. we didnt have any way Grand experiences but we talked with some nice people. and we have some new potential amis.
Agnés is doing really well and her baptism is this friday. we'll see her wednesday, thursday is the interview, and DUN DUN DUN! friday is the baptism! yay! hopefully nothing goes wrong...
also lets see..... this sunday we had ward conference here and it was really good. The Stake Presidency is top notch and we filled up our little building. the first talk was given by the primary president Sr. Meloen and she was talking about how important it was to teach the gospel to the youth and how primary helped that and yeah. i wrote down a quote from hers that i really liked. she said "if you wait until they are old enough to understand everything, they'll understand nothing." i'm glad that i was born 'in the church" and had the oppurtunity to be taught in my youth. (like nephi, moroni, 2000 stripling warriors, etc.). Elder Bednar when he came told us to make sure that we did it too, he said that a 4 year old kid could have questions about the gospel. idk i really liked that is all.
i really appreciate all of you and all of your support. (and letters and packages, which can be sent to valence still.. i probably wont be leaving for a while, my companion is going home then i'll have at least another transfer so that makes about 8 weeks...)(amelia i got your package a week ago friday i believe i just forgot to let you know so yeah.)
umm i love you!
