Great work with the football games! It looks like you are well past
getting your feet wet this season and are starting to play like a real
team ;) Hahaha. Bubba, you have got to play the piano on the sides. No
ladies are going to want someone who is only
good at sports!
Okay. . .
So this week was so crazy! I feel like from now on life is going to
be a little bit crazy. On Wednesday I was on an exchange sitting in a
lesson when all of the sudden my phone started to ring and I look down
to see that it was President Roney calling.
I was like, Ah! I better go grab this one. After talking to President
for a sec he completely shocked me changing where I thought I was going
to be going. He said, "Since you have been such a bad mission for so
long we have decided to bring you in as one of
my assistants for a couple of transfers." I was so shocked that I had no
idea what to say. Haha. . . I was not expecting that call at all.
Especially because neither of the assistants were finishing their
missions. Now, one of them is going to finish as a zone
leader teaching us all how we can baptize one person a transfer and is
really going to set the tone for all of the missionaries. This new
transfer is going to be crazy!
I will just give you a quick recap.
Thursday I went to a meeting at Presidents. Elder Elvidge, my new
companion, and I were running a good part of it. Once we were finished
running over the first week with everyone involved we had planned to
leave so I could get back to my sector and finish
working, but President pulled us into his office and we started going
over the plan for the next transfer. We then spent the rest of the day
going over the vision of what we need to accomplish and change in our
mission. It was really cool seeing how that inspiration
works from the other end. It is very obvious that Sister and President
Roney are very inspired. We occupied ourselves with some little things
for the rest of the night and we found ourselves heading home around 11.
We were then back the next morning at 7 to
start working on the transfer calls and calling every missionary. It was
pretty funny listening to how some of the missionaries would respond in
the calls because President would say the funniest things to them.
After we were done with calls we ate with the
Roney's and then got back to work. The rest of the night we spent
getting things ready for the next transfer. We created the calendar, the
roster, started preparing conferences, and all sorts
of other things.

Saturday we were able to go to a baptism! Well. . . actually 4! 4
people here in Lyon all got baptized in the same meeting! Sébastien was
one of them! It was awesome seeing him all dressed up in white along
with a couple of others! The baptism went great
and Elder Taua, Elder Elvidge and I actually sang a trio for it that
went really great. We sang our mission song, Les Anges dans nos
Campagnes. Elder Taua played the Uke and we all sang. It actually went
really, really well. Later that night we were able to
go over to our mission nurse's house and she fed us!
Sunday went great! After church we headed home to finish packing
and unpacking. Once we were done we headed over to a members house to
have some fun with them and eat some crepes! It was a blast. Shortly
after we headed on over to the Roney's to have a
last dinner with Elder Taua. We had a lot of fun eating and playing
games with their family. I think that has been my favorite part of the
last few days. I have gotten to spend so much more time with the Roney
family and I have come to love them even more.
They are truly such amazing people and I feel so blessed with his
opportunity to spend more time with them and to learn from them. These
next few months are going to be huge growing months for me!
We finished off Sunday night doing numbers until 2:30! We were so
exhausted by the end of it haha! It was a refresher finishing those up.
We are going to be pretty exhausted this week. We have a crazy week
planned with the new missionaries and the departing
missionaries. . . so wish us luck! I love you all so much!
Bonne semaine!
Elder Beyer
