Gex. Week 2

Family! Bonjour! 

How's it going? Hope all is well.  

First, this week was tough but good. I'll tell you why.

Monday was a good first PDAY. We went to Geneva to shop a bit. It was nice.We met up with this 19 year old kid, Ambdouchacoure, who is Muslim. I don't think he is interested, but we still taught him the first lesson. He was nice and fairly funny. We met with Kassimo too. He is funny. He loves to talk with us and he understands, but for some reason he tries to kind of mush the Muslim and Christian faiths together. And he doesn't read the Book of Mormon so I told him HE NEEDS TO READ or he cant know. If he doesn't read next time, we're reading with him. That's it. He is also trying to find a job so we are trying to help him find somewhere with computers so he can apply but we aren't getting any luck. He loves church though and he loves learning. I just wonder if he wants to learn to learn or to find truth. We'll see :) 

We also teach French and English. So we taught English to John Christoph in our ward. He is awesome. He has cancer and went inactive but he has an incredible reactivation story. But its fun to teach. A lot of people speak English here and there are a lot of Americans and Canadians here in the ward. I love my ward though. Its huge which is not common in France so i got lucky with my first area. 

Tuesday I went to zone training. My ZLS and DL are all super cool and they push us. They want us to contact 500 a week. Which can be tough here in our sector because its small. We contact on streets in the towns. Door to door is super ineffective because everyone lives in apartments. And a lot of times people want to speak English but that's okay. I just speak french to them anyway! ha! The next closest missionaries are in Geneva, so we are alone in little Gex. Its beautiful here though! The weather is bipolar though. one day it rains and is cold and the other its like hot. and humid. But I like it. its been warm for a while now. I have a shoe tan and a watch tan! :) 

They don't refrigerate milk here and it tastes funny. Sad because I love milk at home. People carry baguettes around everywhere too. So french. We drive a car because it is hard to walk to other towns because they are so far away, but then we park and then contact. The members feed us more then I thought! and it's super good, and they feed you a lot. Like a lot. 

Anyway, on Thursday I contacted 29 people all by myself. like alone. Only one person talked to me and I couldn't understand a whole bunch, but I'm pretty sure he was talking about mother nature being the supreme force here. I gave him a pass along card anyway. He was super funny and it made me happy :) 

Friday was super tough. We contacted 120 people but no one talked to us and all of our meetings fell through and it was super discouraging. 

Saturday was good though. Well, kinda. The S couple kinda dropped us, but we might go back in a couple of weeks. I was sad, but not too much because maybe later! :) but we got 5 numbers! 2 guys wanted to learn more and we set up a meeting for Tuesday and another said he'd go to church! He didn't but that's okay. I really hope they want to learn more. If they do we are here! and i want to encourage them to find truth. 

Sunday was good at church. A less active came that we were trying to contact this week so we are meeting with her too. Shes awesome :)

I'm understanding little by little and trying to speak more!  It's getting better! I know Heavenly Father will bless me with the language. I'm practicing patience :) anyway, running out of time, but I love you all so much. I am working hard to get the truth out there even if people can't understand me. The Lord loves all of us and he wants us to be happy. I love you all!
