Well hello there my wonderful family!
You all sound so amazing! I am glad that you already found out who
my companion is and that you were already able to talk to his family! He
is such a stud! I love being with him, and especially in the apartment
with the two other missionaries too. It
seriously has been so much fun so far. The other two missionaries are
Elder Crawley and Elder Holding, Elder Crawley was in my MTC group and I
was honestly so excited when I found out that we were going to be
living in the same apartment. We have sooooo much
fun! Elder Crawley reminds me a lot of Bryton Wells haha. Kendal sounds
like he was an amazing missionary and that is an awesome story, cutest
babies ever, Caden looks so sick!, and Bubba is still as cute as ever. .
.
Okay, so where to even being talking about Gex. . .
I think first off I will start by saying that I think I was sent to
Heaven on Earth. I am truly in one of the most beautiful places in the
world. We live right up by the base of a mountain underneath the most
amazing Italian family in the world! They are
so funny and they have had us over for dinner a few times now. We see
that family all the time now. Living in an apartment with four people
is a huge change too. It is really small, but man is it fun. Especially
with Elder Crawley haha. So, I said that we
live in the most beautiful place in the world, yeah we totally do, we
are surrounded by mountains and from our house we can see Geneva :) We
are seriously as close to Switzerland as you can get as an American
Missionary (because we can't live inside because
of visa issues). All of our district meetings and zone conferences are
in Switzerland as well.
Also, for the moment we have a car :) That has been a huge change
from walking around a little tiny ville with not much transportation.
They said they might be taking the car from us though :( We are very sad
about that and hope that they really don't
take it.
So right above our house is a ski resort! Crazy awesome huh?! We
are going to see if we can take it up on a P-day and do some awesome
hiking. We are going to go and do some hiking today up by our house in
the mountains today as well.
So, as for the ward. That is right, I said ward! We have one of the
biggest wards in the mission full of young single adults, young
families, and just an all around awesome variety of ages. About half of
our ward speaks English and there are quite a few
people who have served missions in either the US or England and there
are a few people who are American in our ward. Everyone comes to our
ward and lives in the area because it is a lot cheaper to live here and
they work in Switzerland. . . So we are basically
in a little American/French/Swiss mountainous ward. It was awesome
because the Stake President of the ward stood up at the start of the
meeting and said, We have such a blessing to have these Elders in our
ward so start taking advantage of them and inviting
them over. After that about five families came up to us and invited us
over. Not too shabby. . . huh?
This week in my letter to President Roney I said the only problem
that I am going to be having in Gex is that he is not going to be able
to get to me to leave haha.
That is so incredible that you were able to talk to my last DMP,
those things that he said are seriously so nice. He was one of my
favorite people in the world and people like him is what keeps the
church growing here in France. My DMP in this ward is
a returned missionary who just got back from his mission in Canada last
summer!
Life is so wonderful right now though, I love being a missionary! I
know 100 percent that this gospel is true and I have the greatest
calling in the world to tell people what we know every day!
Love,
Elder Beyer
