Hello people....!
how is everyone doing?
so basically this week has been a lot of fun!
on tuesday we went to chambery for an exchange and i went with elder Walch and we actually had a sweet miracle. this lady stopped in her car and called us over (as we were contacting) and she just asked us what it was all about so we explained the restoration quickly and then she asked if we had a church in Chambery and we were like ya and so we gave her the address and the times and stuff and she was like cool i'll see you sunday then and then left. so thats cool (sadly she didnt go but ya)
so then we went and ate lunch and stuff we had a rendezvous with a less active then went to this little town called aix les bains in their area. and worked there for the rest of the day. It was fun because well my companion doesnt really care about sports and he likes sports and stuff and so we talked all day about it it was fun (sadly he's a new england patriots fan so i had to put him in his place but we quickly got past that conflict and got the spirit back haha!)
but it was fun. The next day we came back to annecy and had our district meeting that morning. it was good and i hope that it helped out the district.
Other than that we've just been teaching people. On sunday we had church and there were a few visitors from the stake and things like that and after church we had le repas de branche (ward meal) they do it every 3rd sunday of the month. (which was really good because we didnt go shopping this week and had like NO food haha... a little but ya...) after that we had a rendezvous with this family from nigeria. Mom and dad and two kids. it was fun and we are going to see them next sunday and show them the restoration. oh and they speak english which is pretty cool. i prefer to teach the gospel in french now but it should be fun anyways!
its been a great experience to be here in annecy and i LOve the people here (even when some of them arent nice...) all of our amis are great and the members here rock!
oh ya and so like... our ward mission leader wanted us to show this film to one of our investigators (the mediator) but he didnt know where it was and we didnt have a dvd player and all that jazz but then we were at the church one day looking at the videos that were there to see if we could use any in teaching (because there isnt a dvd player there) and we found the mediator so we were like cool lets try it out to make sure it works (it was an old video cassette so you never know right?) so we go to make sure put it in rewind it a little push play and its working so were like cool lets try to find the video we want to see (because there was more than one little video on it) so we were rewinding it and pressed play and then it broke... and so now there is a vhs... stuck in the vcr and its kind of annoying... it doesnt work... it wont eject... it wont do anything... so we opened it up (the back) and couldnt figure out how to get it to work... its still all wound through the machine but its just doesnt realize there is a video in there.... something always happens...
But so ya... the end of that has not yet been established...so i'll keep you updated.
ummm other than that i'm doing really well and its been good to hear from you all!
Love you and have a great week!
