Bonjour tout le monde !
This week was crazy! So much cool stuff! I guess I'll just go through the week, hopefully I can remember all of what happened! First, we had an exchange with the elders from Besançon, so I spent a day working with Elder Moss, which was sick! I learned a ton about contacting, and how we need to see people as sons and daughters of God (which was also what Elder Eyring spoke on this weekend!), and how that affects our teaching. We also stopped and got gouffres, which is apparently just a French waffle? Super tasty. We didn't have a lot of lessons this week, but those we did have were super great. We went to Lausanne again on Thursday for district meeting and bought a bunch of chocolate. We also said goodbye to a few departing missionaries. Weird that I'm already a transfer in! That was pretty much what we did this week, but my highlight was definitely general conference! I paid better attention this time than I usually do, and learned a ton! I loved Elder Holland's talk on having sunshine in our souls. Elder Eyring's was really good too. And the quote from Elder Choi where he said that when we gave difficulties, we shouldn't look around, but up. Soooo gooood! Here in Dijon, we weren't able to get any Amis to come with us to conference, so we watched the English one with a couple of members who wanted to practice their English. We are led by inspired leaders! We got to watch the morning sessions live (in the evening), so that was awesome to know we were all watching it at the same time :) we didn't get to watch all the sessions, cuz we had a lesson to teach (Steve and Loveth - so good), and we couldn't see the Sunday afternoon session cuz that's too late for us, but we're excited to watch them in spare time and read them when they're released. Speaking of awesome things being released! The new church easter video is out! #PrinceOfPeace! We got to watch it in the MTC but it's officially out now, so everyone go watch it! Super powerful. I'm so glad I have a Savior to support me in my weaknesses. It's a huge blessing in my life. That's why we're out here teaching. Lots of people don't know about their perfect brother, and I plan on changing that for as many people as possible. So excited and I love you all!
Á la prochaine !
