hey family!
How is everyone?
well i guess that i can start out by saying that this week has actually been quite eventful. the most recent news is transfers! well it seems that my stay in Renens has come to an end and that i will be leaving tomorrow for Lyon. I'm going to be serving in the Gerland ward, with Elder LePretre and Elder Leichty (a threesome weird!!). It was actually interesting for me to hear and i was kind of confused, because well Elder Lepretre is a transfer older than me and is going home in 4 weeks time but it should be way cool and i have already had a spiritual confirmation of this change which is sweet.

It seems like the lord uses us in the most Unexpected ways. I imagine that you have heard about the Earthquake that happened in Chili. there are members here that used to live there and have family there. We decided to visit them before we even had heard anything. and i imagine that it did them a lot of good to have us there to talk to at least. We also decided last night to go visit a family (mostly because i wanted to say goodbye) who is going through a hard time. but the mere fact that we were there really helped them. and was an amazing confirmation to me of the love of God for every one of his children. If i didnt get transfered we probably would have done something else... it being a monday night , FHE etc.. but in the lords grand "scheme" (plan) he doesnt forget a single one of his many children(many many many!).

What else happend this week... we had a RDV with a less active member and his wife and it was way good. He was very straight forward, which is way nice, but not in a mean way. He used to be a photographer and he said he took a really cool picture of a square cloud... that i'm not going to get to see because i'm leaving!!! its terrible... it always happens like that. we meet some Really cool people and then we get transfered. The same thing happened to elder Lozano :P(one of the elders we live with, he's leaving too.).

Sunday was pretty good too. We went to church (on the way we picked up an amis) and had some really good meetings. after the first one the Executive Secretary came up to me and was like... you have a talk ready for today.. and i said... uhh what? and he said well you have 1 hour to get ready! it was funny... i guess that the bishop has just said that if someone that is supposed to give a talk cant show up then ask the Missionaries they're always ready! So i gave a talk! it was fun... (right...?)
other than that.... i cant remember anything that has really stood out to me. nope!

i love you have a great week!
