Hello family!
so this week has been interesting and great at the same time! we basically had no time in our area which was kind of bad but we were able to see most of our investigators so its cool! but other than that we came to geneva on thursday for legality stuff and we were supposed to have an exchange with our Zone leaders but then there was a bunch of confusion and stuff and we didnt do it so like thats going to be tonight so on saturday we went to a city called bellegarde which is on its way to geneva and visited a couple of members family! it was fun and we went from there to general conference.
the schedule is a little different here in switzerland because well when its 10 there is 6 at night here. so like thats when the first session is saturday. then the next day they show priesthood session at 11 o clock and then saturday afternoon session at 2. after that they have sunday morning at 6 and then sunday afternoon at 10 To 12 so normally we dont get to watch that one BUT... we were staying at the mission home here in geneva with like the office elders and assistants and president murdock let us come over to his side of the mission home and watch in their basement! so it was WAYYY good!
I loved the talk by elder Holland because lately we've just been focusing on getting our investigators to read the book of mormon. so its way cool. and i also really enjoyed elder Scotts talk a bunch. it was a lot of fun and i went with a question and got the answer like right away. idk if you've ever tried just having a question whenever you go to church or watch conference but its really a great experience. When i was talking to one of the Missionaries in my district (did i tell you i was district leader again?) last night for weekly calls he told me that he had like 20 questions written down and that he got an answer to ALL of them... cool stuff. anyways so we are actually still in geneva because we have the exchange with the zone leaders so we are going to play soccer and basketball with like the entire zone so it should be TONS of fun.
Sorry that i havent sent any pictures in a while but my battery charger was left in neuchatel and i called and asked them to get it to the mission president so he could get it to me but they have just forgotten every time i guess... so i havent had my camera the last 2 transfers...; way sad.. anyways once i get it i will get you some pictures so ya! I love you all and thanks for all your examples! have a great week!
