hey the family... hows it going?
So this last week has been fairly eventful. We went to Annemasse on Tuesday for our interviews with the president and it was pretty good. we talked about finding families to teach and also about being a better companion. i realized something and that is that like as companions we have to lift each other up and sometimes in a companionship we have hard times or one of the companions cant speak the language as well or something, but like we are all weak. and we cant leave each other behind. like Christ is the only person to come to this earth and he was strong, just imagine what would happen if he left us behind!!! that would be terrible. so like ya, we should always lift our companions up. (mission and eternal).
anyways so the next day we had to go to Geneva for Zone Meeting (which i had to conduct apparently, no one let me know that haha!) and it was way good (i miss geneva haha) we talked a lot about baptism, and finding families to teach again. good stuff.
Then on wednesday we went out to a city in our area called Bellegarde thats like an hour away and there are like 2 buses a day and like 1 train or something anyways we got to visit some members out there and it was a lot of fun. one of the members worked for the church for like 20 years and so he has like a TON of cool church books including a second edition book of mormon in french... way old, way cool. and that was a lot of fun. so like the last week i felt like all we did was travel it was rough. way tiring. ummm lets see. cool stuff that has happened this week.
the other week when we were porting this lady told us that we could pass by another day. So on THursday we went by a few people living in that building with our DMB, Branche mission leader, and we passed this lady and it Turns out, small world, that their kids go to the same school and they know each other. thats way too cool. so like we were able to teach her this past week and we'll see her again this week.
Also we went saw a few other members and it was a lot of fun. It seems like we are always really blessed sundays. We went to church and then after church we passed by this Lady that we are teaching and it just so happened that she wasnt there but 2 of her friends were and we were able to teach them a little spiritual thought and then we went with them to her old apartment where she was and we talked and it was good. Then we went out to the other side of town and we passed a Member (before another rendezvous that we had) and it was really good. he has a way strong testimony and some cool stories.
Then we went to our rendezvous which was with our DMB and his family and we ate crepes and talked and its was way fun. then like we went back to the Amis apartement talked a little bit then we had to get home on time so we rain like all the way accross town and it was fun.
so like my companion has got me eating a lot healthier so i have a lot more energy its awesome. i mean i eat like broccoli and stuff (should make you proud mom haha) its great. umm and then other than that i dont know... what else to say.
Oh, haha i gave a talk this sunday, they asked me like Thursday so idk if it made a whole lot of sense to them but thats what they get i guess... I talked about faith and how its a principle of action, power, and growth. it made sense to me and thats all (well not all, but ya) that matters.
umm... lets see. thats it LOVE YOU have a great week
