Hey family how are you!?


so this week has been farely good. we've been working a lot on trying to find out whether we know all the people on our member list and where they live and stuff and we have been able to pretty much figure everyone out which is great. its nice to be able to say that i'm not really lost anymore!

Yesterday we had an exchange with the elders in Martigny. I went with ELder Schmidt who was one of my old companions so it was a blast! we had a lot of fun and one way sweet rendezvous.

We called up this old amis in our area book and fixed a rendezvous. it turns out that this guy like basically grew up in the church and wasnt ever baptized. so like we asked him about what he remembered about joseph smith and he like told the whole story quoting James 1:5 and like it was cool. Then elder Schimdt was like here let me show you a scripture (in his like triple combination) i really like and he opened up to it and it was marked and the guy just kept talking about WE as in the members of the church and like how he defended the church back in Ghana and like all this stuff. He was like basically a member but not it was SO cool. so that was fun.

hmm other than that we have found a couple people but like not been able to teach them more that once which is a bummer but its alright. i dont have a ton to say this week. so ya.

for studies i've been reading the book of mormon everyday for like 20 minutes i guess and i realized this morning that if i didnt start with that my studies werent that good. so i read some and then i worked on this talk that i'm supposed to give sunday at church. The topic is Le libre arbitre est important au plan du salut, or Moral Agency is important to the Plan of Salvation. i really like the topic and i've had some really good insights that i cant remember right now haha! too bad i guess. anyways so ya.

Oh ya another thing that we did is, well to give a little backround. We have this Amis who is from Pittsburgh. He has been here for about 6 years and he is in charge of the Museum at the ITTF head quarters (international table tennis federation). anyways so a little while ago we had a church activity at the museum and it was way good. this last week we went and did service for him and we moved a bunch of boxes of coaching manuels for him. it took forever but the best part was that he made Cinnamon rolls.... THEY WERE SOOOO GOOD!!! haha... it was great!

oh and this past week it has just decided to snow and snow and snow..... the bus we took this morning jackknifed as it pulled up and almost crashed, they've got good drivers though so its ok.

well any other random things...??? i dont think so... oh well! have a great week! LOve you!
