Final Lap (Transfer #15 Week #6->T#16)

Hello everyone! Well, here it is, the last transfer. I'm excited and so is Elder Suisse since we are staying together. It is going to be a good transfer full of miracles and joy in the work, and we are both pumped. Crazy how time flies, it is odd to think I have been in France for so long, and also odd to think I have been anywhere but France before! Feels kind of like a dream I remember of home. It is good here and I am lucky to serve with such wonderful people as well as spend so much time in such a beatiful country sharing with it the coolest message ever. It's quite the experience! I highly recommend it :) And I've never seen myself grow more or change more for the better. Well enough sentiment you'll have the full rundown in about 5 weeks. til then...

Springtime in France!

This week went great! We had a good experience seeing many active members, passing them out in their towns while doing some work or looking for less active members who were in the area as well. It was so great to get closer to these awesome pioneers in Dijon, and to hear their experiences and what makes them tick in the gospel. It was moving to hear their testimonies and comfort them in their fears. It is amazing, I realized this week, how often we feel the Spirit of God in each visit and rdv and even conversation on the street, it is here frequently testifying through us, and we feel it's joy and love and happiness and peace each time. We shared that video I shared last week like 20 times this week too, haha, showed it to everybody, it was awesome! I love that video. Besides this we viewed the beauty of the sunlit hills, fields and vineyards of Bourgogne, what a sight! And, as far as our gourmandise, we tried, for the first time ever on my mission and in my life... Frog legs! They were pretty darn good, like little tiny chicken legs, tasted great and Ii was a fan. Soeur Cuisiat is literally our hero and came to our rescue making us those. Anyways, a great week, and more to come. We are seeing a lot of people this week and it should be fun, we are also focusing on finding new amis since we have a few (Agne, Hadye) who are taking some time at the moment and don't wish to currently be taught, but we have faith and keep them in our prayers, and until their time is ready we will go find who we are meant to teach now. 

Local church - (looks kinda like Provo City Center Temple!)

This transfer is going to be the best, with Poe and Tatiana's wedding in May with his baptism and then the temple dedication in Paris on the 21st.. I can't wait. Have a great week everyone!!!

Love,
Elder Laney
