Ma Famille!!
Everything is going super duper well!!! This week was a great week, and I got to meet President Murdock! He is very nice, a little bit older than President Carter, and American. He hails from Salt Lake City actually! His american accent is sweet on my ears ha ha. Our mission is now officially La Mission Francaise de Lyon, and has doubled! This last month with the combination of both missions we had 148 baptisms!!!!!! Speaking of baptisms, I recieved an emails from the Créquit Family, and Marie-Oceane(the daughter) got baptised yesterday!!!!!! I am more than happy, words cannot express how happy I am!!! I can't wait to hear about the temple in a year!!!!
President Murdock told us that he will be integrating the two missions quite a bit this next transfer. Most likely I will get a colleage I don't know! For now, american missionaries will not be able to serve in Suisse this year, only if they are newly arriving into the mission field. The government is kind of messed up right now, and there is an backlog for visas in Suisse. Too bad, maybe next year!
Hmmm... well this week was great! Some highlights, some crazy, hippy, french man on his way to suisse to fight nuclear power plants stopped and yelled at us... But it is the first time somebody has yelled at us because they love us! He told us he loves the Mormons(but will never join) for three reasons: FHE, We don't use curse words, and we(missionaries) are in the street sharing our message! That was funny! I also had an exchange with my district leader, Elder Birk. He was an assistant with Elder Miller when I got into France, I contacted with him the first day! He is an amazing missionary and rocked my world on our exchange! Unfortunetly his time is up, and will be going home in a couple of weeks!
This Sunday was great too!! The Lord blessed us immensley! Of course it was Fast Sunday, and so like we do, we fasted. We fasted for the work to advance here in Gap and well, the Lord answers prayers! We had 4 investigators at church ( more than Gap has ever had!) Jerome and Cécile both bore their testimonies, and we had one of the Best first lessons I have had on my mission with a random man we contacted in the street ! BLESSINGS BLESSINGS BLESSINGS!!!!!
