Hello all!

This has been a pretty good week and it was alot of fun too.

Last preparation day we just relaxed and stayed in Annecy and it was much Needed haha. After that we just went to work and got to teach a lot.

On thursday we taught a lady at the church that we have been teaching for a while. She has been coming to church for the last like 4 monthes and she really needs the gospel in her life. She doesnt want to commit to baptism though because she wants it to be her choice and she wants to decide. I think that a lot of times people dont understand why we are here. They think that we are trying to force them or that we are asking them to become members of our church when really all we do is invite them to follow Christ.

anyways lately we have been writing notes to the members to get them thinking about missionary work more often. so we go around and put them in their mailboxes and also share spiritual thoughts with them so that has occupied part of our time this week. we were invited to eat with the Branch president and his family. they're way cool they have 4 kids all younger than 11 but not like babies and so its funny. they are really outgoing kids and well they do funny stuff. we also went and did service.

There hasnt been any way cool break throughs. but its been good to just teach people about the gospel. I love it! one of the greatest feelings in the world is to have the spirit working through you touching the hearts of others. it makes it all worth it.

Lately I have been thinking about Graditude! Thanksgiving was last week! we didnt really get to celebrate it but it was a good time to just think of things we were grateful for. During interviews last week Sr. Murdock asked us to share something we were grateful for, this next District Meeting is on graditude. When we are grateful to the lord and realize his hand in our lives we are SOO blessed and cant be prideful... its like impossible.

haha that last paragraph doesnt make a ton of sense but i think you get what i'm trying to say.

One of our investigators that we have been working with for a little while has started to read the Book of Mormon. its really cool to see how much happier she is now and how much she has already started to grow. We can tell that she is "feasting upon the words of christ". Now its her thats asking US if theres someone that can come pick her up and take her to church! It's amazing how the spirit can work in someone. She even has started to defend our beliefs! its way cool!

Well so thats all i have for now. hope you have a great week!

Love YOU all
