Going to... (Week #6 Transfer #8)

Stay! We got transfer calls on Friday and Elder Robards is leaving me and going all the way to Agen! (Our sectors share a border haha, right next door). And I will be receiving a blue! (A "blue" is what we call the brand new missionaries) I'm super excited to train and will send you all pictures of the new blue and me next week!

Last moments for Elder Robards

Today we went to Toulouse where Elder Robards went back to Agen and then I'm in Lyon until Thursday since all the new missionaries usually come in tomorrow on Wednesday. I'm super excited and pumped for this next transfer and hopefully I won't teach my blue too much bad French, unless he is French and in that case he can just teach me French :) on vera! (We'll see what happens!)

Hanging with the Pau Elders

Anyway, this week was pretty fun. Felix is doing well; we had to move his date for when he's ready, we're trying to help him quit smoking, he's really awesome and if he hasn't yet I know he eventually will be able to. He's super funny haha, Elder Robards goes to give him a hug goodbye and he has this confused look on his face since he has no idea what Elder Robards is doing, then afterwards is like "oh! C'est un épaullade !" Which is what I heard, not a word I can find but that would mean something like a shouldering... Haha, he then proceeded to give me an awkward hug/tap on the back twice saying we needed to do this epallade thing too. Lol different cultures, Felix is so funny.

Celebrating my One Year Mark with pizza, chocolate and cheese - perfection!!

We also got to teach our ami Lena who's a young mother and has seen God reach out to her in her life, and is interested to learn more about our message. She's awesome and we taught with Jean-Louis who's our member, he talks so much haha but it was awesome to see the friendship formed between a 65 year old man and a 27 year old young mother. So cool, and we all had a good lesson. I'm happy to meet so many people and get to be friends with all of them! It's so cool.

Got to spend a day in Geneva Switzerland!

I'm excited to see the next transfer and how things go! The whole mission structure got shaken up, the Lormont Zone is no more and we are now in the Toulouse Zone so that's fun! I'll update you all on everything next week!

Love,
Elder Laney
