Week #1 Transfer #2

First transfer is over! I am now a seasoned missionary and no longer one of the youngest b/c we received a ton of new elders. I'm also not the shortest because I've found at least 3 shorter than me! In general therefore I am very happy.

Blues Conference Group - missionaries who have been out for six weeks.

Haha, anyways we had a great week. Elder Ambursley left of to bear Swiss for his last transfer, and though it was sad to see my dad go (my first trainer is called my dad) it's cool to meet another companion and begin work with my polisher (2nd trainer).  My new companion came, Elder Withers, who is super cool and an awesome guy.  We get along really well and I'm excited to be here with him!  

My new companion, Elder Withers

The beginning of the week was slow with just tons of street contacting and like no success but it was cool as it went on because I got to show him around town and I actually know my way around!  It's cool.  We got to go to blues conference ibis Thursday though Saturday which is a conference after our first six weeks for all the new missionaries.  So I got to see my MTC companion, Elder Kelsey, and all the others I knew which was really cool, and spend a day with them in Lyon and learn a lot from our mission president.

Lol me and Elder Withers has our first lesson together on the train to Lyon which was really cool, and we got to share our testimony and teach an older lady who was interested even though she kept letting us know she didn't want to change religions lol, but she wants to meet with missionaries at her town anyways!

Elders Laney, Withers, Carlson and Smith

Later when we came back Elder Withers got to meet everyone at church and over those days in Lyon and Sunday we had made a ton of calls and talked to a ton of people and we have a good week set up with 2 lessons tonight! It's cool to learn how to start actually scheduling with people haha I was kind of forced to since Elder Withers doesn't know a lot of people yet, but it's super cool and I'm excited for the week!  Anyways, I hope you all have a good week!  I was reading in D&C 88:112 which states we need to share knowledge we gain.  So I would allez-vous you all (allez vous, which means "will you", is a cool thing we made that we keep track of that means you committed someone to go and do something that will help them come closer to Christ)  to this week when you discover something really cool you can share, go and share that knowledge with someone and help them with what helped you.  

Allez-vous partager quelque chose cool avec quelq'un cette
semaine? (Will you share something cool with someone this week?)

Love you all, bonne semaine et a bientot!
