Bonjour ma famille et mes Amis!! This week has been crazy, it's been awesome but we have seriously been traveling all over our huge sector! This week started off with exchanges with the STL's in Genève! We took a train up and started our exchange Monday night. So I was on exchange with Sœur Brouillet, she is actually from France, so she has been learning English on the mission. I was nervous in the beginning, but I spoke French with her the entire time and it was awesome I love her! We had a lot of trains to take to get out to rendez-vous and we had some awesome conversations talking about what it was like when we received our mission calls and then the rendez-vous were all awesome. We traveled out the Swiss country side to eat and meet with a family and it was beautiful! We ended our exchange back in Genève and contacted in a few different parks. There was actually quite a few people who spoke English and I would get very excited to talk with them:) It was super funny I stopped one woman telling her that we were missionaries and she said sorry she didn't speak French as she walked away, and I didn't realize and said Merci, Bonne journée! Ha Sr. Brouillet just laughed at me and told me that she was speaking English! It was a great exchange and I learned a lot from her, and *fist bump* for French all day long (le don des langues is so real people!). The next day was Wednesday and zone conference, so we headed back up to Genève. This zone conference was with President and Sœur Brown and was the title of victory tour! It was so good hearing from everybody and having our own captain Moroni moments. President had all of us create our own title of Liberty. As I created mine I thought about how we really are in a time of war right now, but we are the Warriors on the lords side. Satan is attacking us all so much right now, so we have to put on the amour of God each day so we at protected. I am here to bring people to the savior and bring forever families to his side! It is so important to be valiant as we try to follow the savior's example, because when we are valiant and have our amour on it is then that we can go help other people! We also got to do interview's with president and it was so wonderful to be able to talk with him, I love president so much! When we talked I told him how much I love getting to serve and love people here and he made me promise never to lose that on my mission. I know after talking with him that a forever family is waiting in my sector to be taught- I just need to go out and find them! We have had other great lessons the rest of the week! Severine is preparing for her baptism on this Saturday and it's so awesome. She finished all of her interviews this Sunday and is getting super excited. We also had a great lesson with Rose this week, she is the cute grandma who sings and plays the harmonica! I love her she is like our grandma, and she has been through a lot in her life. It's wonderful to teach her about forever families and see how she is starting to believe that she can live with her family again! I love working with all of our Ami's and members in this awesome district. So yesterday on Monday for p-day we got to go to Chamonix!! I was so excited, the four of us took some early trains and traveled for about 3 hours to get there. The train rides were beautiful through the mountains so I was very happy. The downside was that is was rainy and cloudy so when we arrived in chamonix we couldn't see all of the peaks or Mt. Blanc. It was still beautiful though and it seriously is a beautiful ski village to walk through. When we go out to chamonix there is a less active family we visit for lunch and it was really fun to see them! I have decided that I will definitely be heading back to chamonix, because the skiing seriously looks incredible. It's been an awesome week and so much fun! My frenchie challenge for you this week is to think about what makes you a valiant disciple of Christ, and what you can do to be an example of a disciple to the people around you! I love you all so much, and I know the lord loves you so much too! Thank you all for your love and prayers! J'taime beaucoup! Sœur Soffe
