hello the family!
how is everyone?
well so this week has been a lot of fun. on monday we went and played laser tag and it was terrible.... the equipment just was terrible so like when i would normally do good it was really bad.... oh well
then we have on the same day we went up to Mount Saleve that was way cool because we got to see ALL of Geneva. with a nice view of the lake and everything. there was also 8 missionaries in the same vehicle (a van) and so the trip wasnt that bad either. Then the rest of monday and most of Tuesday was spent finding stuff, doing laundry, and packing stuff. we also had our Missionary Coordination meeting (that took me like a minute to think of) and got to say bye to some of the members. there wasnt really anyone who like i was really close to but just the same.
umm then on wednesday My companion and i woke up at 6ish and got ready and went to the Gare... train station. He went to Nancy and we i came here. My new companion and the other missionaries who are here met me at the gare and we took my stuff home etc. got all unpacked (that packing things annoying when its only in the suitcase for a dayish and then you have to take it all out, we need to invent teleporters.... that would work very nicely). and then we went out and worked... this city, is SOO Beautiful, our area, SOO beautiful. its great. and i forgot my camera so i cant send you pictures but next week for sure. We've spent most of our time just knocking on doors but umm i guess last week they had 2 baptisms. and in a week we are supposed to have another so we have spent some time with them the last little while. One is this old Italian man and talking to him (he has a crazy accent but i can mostly understand) makes me wish that i was in Italy right now he is really cool and really nice. the lady who is supposed to get baptized is from by madagascar, and is old too but shes so nice and has a great desire to get baptized so its cool.
My companion is Elder Diffrient and he is from Mississippi. He's cool (a little shorter than me haha 5'3"-5'5") and we get along really well. its fun. This is only his Second Transfer so it should be cool. the other missionaries are Elder Terry, who is one transfer older than me, who is from Plano Texas, and Elder Jolley, who is from Fresno California. suprising that theres only one missionary from Utah and thats only partially true since the parents live in Idaho... haha. its a TON of fun being in the same apartment as another Companionship and for some reason everyone thinks i'm REALLY funny... I dont even do anything and they laugh... its great because we have such a happy fun time.
so last thursday was my first district meeting that i've taught and it was fun but i ran out of things to talk about haha... so yeah haha... i kind of made it up as i went/ i'm almost positive the spirit helped. so that was fun. and since then i'm pretty sure that the rest of the interesting things would have to be only church. although last night we went porting and then missed the bus back to Neuchatel and ended up walking for about 6 km, or 3 1/2 milesish... and we ended up at a members house (recent convert) who we shared a little spiritual thought with, and was kind enough to take us home. it was fun.
ummm..... i think thats about it for me. Hope you all have a great week! Love You!
