Evian, Porting, and awesome Amis Week 17

Coucou!
  It's been a pretty standard week here! It's really crazy it's
already the last week of the transfer, time has seriously flown by!
This week after our amazing Monday at Chamonix; back to work porting
for the afternoon of Tuesday. That night we taught Francois, and he is
so awesome. He is our awesome ami from the Congo, and we are still
waiting to see if his baptismal certificate can be found. It's been
awesome watching his testimony and faith in the Savior grow! He is
super cool and it's been fun watching him open up and becoming best
friends with him:)
  Wednesday after a lunch with the famille Boileu and teaching their
cute grandkids in Thonon; we headed off to Evian and got to do some
contacting. It's really cool to contact right along the Lac, and there
is always fun and interesting people to talk to:) We also got to drink
from the source of Evian water bottles, so that was really cool! We
ended the day helping with the ward primary Halloween activity.
  Thursday we had district meeting in Geneve! We talked about Elder
Uchtdorf's talk from woman's conference; "Fourth Floor, Last Door."
I'm sure all of you who heard it know how wonderful it is; especially
for missionaries! What I really got from it re-reading it is that all
we need to have is the faith to knock, and keep knocking till we get
an answer. This doesn't only mean the faith for missionaries to knock
on someone's door; but the faith we all need to have to keep knocking
until we find our Heavenly Father. I promise you all that Heavenly
Father is there, and loves you no matter what. So my frenchie
challenge for you this week is to have the Faith to knock and ask and
keep asking until you found out what your Heavenly Father's will is
for you!
        Friday after a fun lunch of going out to a chinese buffet (to
celebrate Sr Smith's year mark) with the Saléve Sr's we headed out to
Ville la Grand to porte. It was kind of drizzling rain, but the time
seriously flew by and we had a some awesome convos and even a miracle
lesson!
        Saturday was comme d'habitude and we headed out to see Nina and the
Baccauvan's in Cluses. Their situation is still really difficult, but
it's awesome just to see them and help them feel of their Savior's
love! That night we had a lesson with our favorite recent convert
Severine! It's a little difficult to keep her on task; but we had a
really good lesson covering the retab. With her again. Our goal with
her know is just to slow down and really take the time to pray
sincerely to her heavenly father!
        Sunday was great, as usual, with our awesome members. I really do
love Sunday's coming to be with the ward and all learn together. Our
rendez-vous for the night ended up falling through; but It ended up
being good to catch up on everything we needed to and just have a
chill dinner at the apartment! It's been a great week full of lots of
little miracles and tender mercies!
Thanks for all you do, your love, and all your prayers!
Je t'aime!
