This week was quite something! We started it off with a small 2 day trip to the border of France and Switzerland at Gex, France, which is a tiny town right by Geneva. Took a plane from Bordeaux Tuesday and on Wednesday Elder Robards picked up his legality! Haha the prefecture there had it since March. Anyway, the trip was worth it, and I may be seeing a trip out to Aix soonish for my own legality :) (we have to renew our visas after 1 year and as we move so often in the mission, often it's started on one side of the country and then we have to return from another side we were transferred to the week after; haha, that's my case anyway).

Which reminds me, I hit my year mark on Friday!!!! It has now been a year since I've been on the mission, I entered the MTC last June 10, 2015. Woo! It goes by fast :) I miss you guys a ton but it's been an amazing year with so many amazing experiences, and I'm sure the next will be even greater! Thanks for all your support once again!
Anyway, the rest of our week went well. We found 3 new Amis, two of which are families and one of which is actually a pastor of his own church. He's cool to talk to! Anyway I've seen how hard work pays off and how God really works through us to find others. We worked really hard and along with our new Amis this week we found many others who we may teach in the future and helped out our other Amis along the way. Felix has been doing well, and with the fact that all our members are out of town and not many people can make the baptism, we aren't too sure, but we are planning on going with him and President Moulis and our member Hoppi for his baptism which will be a combined service with the elders from Pho and their Ami. It should be an amazing experience, and I'll let you know how it goes, or if we decide to change so more people can come :) anyway, I'm excited and this week should be really good.
I studied a scripture the other week, Matthew 6:34 (same as 3 Nephi 13:34) which says:
"34: Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient is the day unto the evil thereof."
I never understood this well, but then someone explained it to me, how we don't always need to worry about the next day or the next year or always be worrying about the future, and how there's enough to worry about each day, and as long as we are doing it right and doing our best and everything we need to then there's nothing to worry about at all. I read this in French this week to share it, and the translation made more sense than the English! Haha I love this scripture though and invite you all to apply it, and to do your best and enjoy each day :)
Love,
Elder Laney
