It feels like this week I have barely even been in Annemasse, we hadlots and lots of conferences over the weekend and ended with anexchange in Genève (which is why I am emailing today, I promise we arenot apostate;) )
Tuesday we went out contacting in Ville-la-grand and didn't have aton of success, we tried to see a less-active who let us in and toldshe had 20 minutes. We told her that was perfect we could just share alittle message. But she ended up talking on the phone the whole timewe were there, and just as she finished someone came to her door andwe had to leave! Too make up for that though as me and Soeur Autai arewalking we had a spontaneous (recorded) rap battle me in English andher in Tahitian, ha we have a lot of fun together:) The day ended witha really good lesson with Francois and help from Jocelyne!
Wednesday night we were jam packed! In the après-midi we had a goodlesson with Severine. Then we helped the primary teachers set up foran activity. Then us and the elders are starting an activity twice amonth for the young adults and we started that off with a spiritualpensée. Then ran back to the primary for me to try and explain thehistory of thanksgiving, hurried to have a meeting with the Reliefsociety president, and then hurried back to the young adults! Whew itwas crazy but lots of fun!
Thursday we had a really awesome zone training! It's really awesomeright now because we are really focusing on part-member families andworking with the members in our wards! (Also happy birthday dad onthursday!) And is and the Saléve Sr's also sang a mash up of les angesdes nos compagnes and hark the herald angels sing. We ended the night at the Herr's house for a great dinner.
Friday we went out to see my favorite couple David and Sylvia and
teach him the recent convert lessons! It's so cool because they are
preparing to go to the temple together!!
Saturday we had a little time for contacting and then headed to
Genève for stake conference! It was definitely an adventure getting there though! Severing drove us and the elders, but there was some mix ups and confusion and getting lost getting there! Severine was really stressed because she was giving a testimony, but we happily got there alive, ha only 40 minutes late, but just in time for her to give a really wonderful testimony! Stake conference was really really good, an area 70 came named Elder Herbertson! He is from Scotland and gave some really incredible talks both on Saturday and sunday morning! It was really incredible because a lot of the conference was about missionary work! During the evening session Elder Herberston had all the missionaries come up on the stand and he told all of the stake to look at us "and behold their little ones." It was really cool and made me so thankful to be a missionary especially here in this amazing area. It made me want to live up to the expectations of these wonderful people, and always work as hard as I can! I feel so blessed every day to help people receive the joy that I have been given. What's so great is that it doesn't end or start as I am a missionary, we really are all called to the work to share the gospel! So my frenchie challenge for you this week is to pray for a missionary experience, and help the missionaries who are with you (really members are what make missionary work amazing!)
After conference in the morning we stayed in Genève because we had interviews with president that night! We decided to go out contacting for a little bit, which was a lot of fun in Genève. Then I had a really awesome interview with president, I really just love him so much and I am so thankful we are blessed to have him as our mission president! Well that was all for this week, stayed tuned for exchanges next week! Love you all so much, and thank you so much for the love and prayers!
