Bonjour ma chère famille!
BUBBA! Stay away from all of those girls! They seriously all have
cooties! Mom you need to up that price to 1000.00 :) Hahahahaha I was
laughing so hard about that story with Caden :) Hahahahahahaha, that is
seriously so funny. . .
As for Gex, it is doing amazing right now and I am absolutely loving it :)
Okay. . .
I have news that is going to blow your mind this week. So last
night we were sitting in an appointment with an investigator and all of
the sudden Elder Crawley got a call. He stepped out and took the call
and then he came back in like nothing had happened.
As soon as we finished the RDV and got out of the door Elder Crawley
says, "Do you want to know who that was?" We were like, "Ummm, sure."
Then he said, "It's a boy!" Hahaha. . . He was like that was the
assistants and tomorrow we are going to be heading into
Lyon to pick up your new companion! Crazy huh?! So today we are driving
into Lyon, picking up my new companion who is on the plane right now,
eating with the Roney family at the mission home and then we are staying
in Lyon for the night. We are all really excited
and it is going to be a ton of fun. So the thing that is cool about this
missionary coming in is that it is the missionary that left from
Brock's stake in Toronto! He is super cool and he is a recent convert of
about a year. I am so excited. But, I am very
sad to be leaving my other two companions because it was a lot of fun
being with three missionaries and I was certain that Elder Einerson was
my son in the mission because we are so much a like. . . but Elder
Crawley was the real father. . . That is something
weird about missions, when you train a missionary he is your son and you
are his father and when you enter the mission you are "born" and when
you leave the mission you "die."
There was a few awesome things that happened this week. One of them
was that we decided to go and check out an area of our sector that we
had never seen before. It is just on the other side of the mountains. We
thought it was going to be a small town so
we decided to go on a Saturday when we thought there would be the most
people. We made the trip out and it took about an hour. So we made it
around the mountains and at about 30 minutes into the drive we start
driving up next to the mountain and this huge valley/river
started to become apparent in the middle of the two mountains on both
side of us. Up in the distance we saw a huge bridge connecting the two
mountains and it was seriously one of the most amazing things that I
have every seen. These towns on the other side
of the mountains are these incredible skiing towns that are situated up
on the side of the mountains. We continued to go further in and we
crossed the bridge connecting these two mountains and after driving
along the side of the mountain we arrived in this
little village called Champfromier. You are going to have to google
image it. . . If there is one place that we need to come back and visit
together it would have to these little villages in the alps that are
surrounded by the ski resort and right in the middle
of the village there was this huge catholic cathedral. Something you are
going to have to see someday.
We had a few really cool things happen this week. We have been
really looking for families to teach and that is what we focused our
fast on. We have found four new potential families now and I am
seriously so so excited! I hope that we can teach them this
week.
There was one family that we contacted last transfer and we
re passed their house this week to see them. We show up and the dad
invites us right in to have something to drink. We talked to him for
about ten minutes and I don't know why, but we were just
crackin him up and we had him seriously laughing. Next thing we know his
wife and two daughters show up and the same thing happened, we had them
really laughing. He started to then say well thanks for coming by to
see us. . . we knew he was about to send us
on our way before we started talking about the gospel when all of the
sudden we said, well we want to explain our message to you. He responded
in saying. . . ahhhh, you want to convert me to be a Mormon. . . I
smiled and said, yeah :) You are exactly right
haha. You and your family! He started laughing because I don't think
that he was expecting that and said but we already have a Strong family. .
. I then responded and said, I know, that is why you will be perfect
for our church!
We then started to explain the Proclamation to the family and
family night and asked him if we could come over Monday night and show
him how to have family night. . . Keep in mind this guy is very, very
catholic. . . We asked him and he was soooooo close
to saying yes! So close! He thought about it and said that he couldn't
promise to anything, but he would try and find sometime to read the
brochure, but he would have to thing about meeting with us the next
week. . . That just means now we are going to have
to work through the families that he knows in the ward :) We are going
to send them on his case to invite him to a family night :) Hahaha. . .
Lets see, so for New Years eve we were at a members house from
about 7:30 to 8:30, where we got to eat a lot and celebrate for about
and hour. . . but then we had to go home. So new years was a little bit
different this year, but it was still a lot of
fun :)
Well family,
I love you all so very much. I am so grateful to know that we have
an eternal family through the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that I am
on the Lord's errand right now so I could not be happier :)
I found a really cool scripture the other day,
D & C 88:63. . . Check it out!
