And a Happy New Year!!! (week #3 Transfer #13)

Salut les Amis!

This week was really awesome! I would say the highlight was getting to see so many of you on the family Skype, I am so grateful to have such an awesome family, and I can't wait to see the rest of you real soon,but until then, the work goes on :)

Christmas morning Skype session!

Lots of holiday goodies!

This week we were able to see some really cool miracles, notably one was the Consales Family, a week and a half ago Elder Thorne called this family who was referred to our area a bit ago, the mom picked up and said she was having a hard time, but instead of saying that because of such it was not the right moment she responded saying maybe our call was a sign. Anyway, we've been trying to see them since then, and finally got a chance during our exchange, turns out her husband had a Book of Mormon already and reads from time to time. The whole family is really cool and open, I'll let you know how things go with them. Also during this exchange on my side with Elder Connell (who's a boss) we found this really cool member who hasn't been to church for a while and I'm excited to get to know her, she was super pumped to meet us. 

Christmas with the Manoa family

Anyways lots of little miracles like that, Dominique is doing well and working on smoking and Didier should be back in about a week. Some of our other Amis haven't been progressing, so that's always hard but I know when they are ready and have a real desire God will either lead them back to us or us back to them again. Til then we will search for those who are ready. It's sad since we haven't seen Abraham in over a month, no idea where he went, we are starting to teach other members of his family which is really a blessing and we will see how he is doing from there.

Early morning hike above Toulon

En tout cas, a good week with a lot of blessings, especially Christmas, and thanks for all you guys do and for your prayers. Be happy and have a good week, we can in all situations and life is fun :) Happy New Year! Make some good New Years resolutions!!!!!!! I'm going to too :)

Lot of love,
Elder Laney
