Bonjour ! 

This week was super great! We got to spend lots of time in Switzerland! I spent Monday and Tuesday on exchange with Elder Agnie in Fribourg, and it was beautiful! We spent Wednesday in Dijon and got some stuff done, then it was off to Switzerland again for district meeting! We spent Wednesday night in Besançon, then drove to Lausanne. So much driving this week, but this next week we should be in Dijon more. 

District meeting was so good! We got a new Bleu in the district (shout-out to Elder Seaman), so I'm not the youngest any more! Super weird to think I've been on the mission for more than three months already! Anywho, we talked a lot about the temple. The Paris temple will be open in no time and we're all so excited!! We've been working lots on genealogy, and helping lots of members and amis find family, and that's been great. 

Speaking of amis, Poe's wedding and baptism are both fixed! The marriage is on May 12,and the baptism the next day. We actually had a cool miracle with that. Zone Conference was planned for the same day as the marriage, and Elder Laney and I were so sad, but then we got a text just a few days saying that the conference was moved to the 11, so we get to go to the wedding!! We are so excited! 

Anyways, after district meeting, we came home, and on Saturday we got to help with the primary Easter activity and hide candy. It was debatably the most hilarious thing ever, with a bunch of little kids running around and yelling in French. Awesome. 

Sunday was great too! We had tons of visitors in town for the temple open house, and some were American, so I got to speak English! 

We also got asked to start something called the "Adler Challenge" (named after the authority who gave the challenge), where you video yourself bearing testimony of the savior in your mission language, then bear it again every night for thirty days, then video it again and look at the difference. So far it's been awesome, and I'm excited to see how it goes. 

That's all I can remember, so I love you all and have a great week!
