Hello Family!

well to start out, i'll answer some questions.

I really like the Mp3 player that i got for christmas, it works perfectly. I mostly wanted it to get the songs off of the Mission Office computer which has been done already so thats all good.

More like atheletic socks would work best! but either way is fine for me. you can send both if you would like! :P

ok, so this week has been pretty good. While in Geneva we went and played soccer. it was way fun. it had rained a TON and was still raining so everyone was slipping around and like falling everywhere. We got really Muddy and ya it was a blast. The next day was the Ward New years party so that night (wednesday still) we went and helped the members decorate the chapel for a little bit.

Thursday we actually had a couple of rendezvous with members and so that was a good replacement for trying to talk to people all day on a holiday (they dont really like that). That Night we went to the NEw years party for a little bit and then went home and hung out with the other Elders till the NEw Year! it was good.

After that we just did missionary work and talked with some cool people.

On monday we went to DIjon, in france, to do our exchange with the missionaries there. I went with Elder Leichty who ive served around so it was fun. We went and taught this guy and it was way good. after that we passed members and shared messages with them. Its really nice to be able to teach. I love it!

but.... the end was pretty crazy. we had to catch a train at like 5h38 and it was pretty close to then... we were supposed to meet up at 5 at the appartment but that didnt really happen because we were 20 minutes late... then, when we finally got there, our companions werent even there!!!! so basically what ends up happening is that we have to get all our stuff run down to the bus stop take the bus to the Trainstation. where our companions were with tickets etc... but we got "there", to the bus stop by the gare, with like 5 minutes maybe before the train left, had to run up this hill to the gare to the voie where the train was and barely got into the train before it closed up.... it was intense haha!
luckily we didnt get checked for passports crossing the borders either because we forgot them... oh and we got to ride TGV's which are like some of the fastest trains in the world i believe... not the fastest. but really fast.
so now we are safe and sound chez-nous... yay!
Hope you had a great week and i LOVe YOU!
