Transfers

BONJOUR!
We recieved our calls and I will be staying in Béziers for another 6 weeks and be training! Super excited! Tomorrow I will be going to Geniva Switzerland to meet my blue! STOKED going to swiss tomorrow just for 2 days but still our Heavenly Father loves me!

Elder Smedley will be transfered to Lyon which he is stoked for! Béziers is a lot like Vitrolles in the sense that its a more difficult area. However, the past 2 transfers here have been incredible-- 4 baptisms!

Jean luc was happily baptised this past Saturday and our new member Soeur Tomescu gave a wonderful talk on baptism. The spirit was so strong! Because of vacations and traffic jams the baptism consisted of Elder Smedley conducting. I baptised, playing piano and gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. Another Brother from the branch Fr Marshes was a witness, Soeur Tomescu and Jean luc were present. It was the most touching baptismal service I have ever attended. It was an incredible experience because Jean luc contacted the church 4 weeks ago and wanted to be baptised. He lives literally 2 doors from Soeur Tomescu and we always teach together. He stopped smoking and stopped drinking coffee... it is a miracle!

For preperation day today we went bowling with the zone leaders and ate the famous star kebab to celebrate the 3 baptisms in 1 transfer! It was a hoot!

In other news...all letters must be sent directly to the city which I am serving in so my address for all mail NOT PACKAGES is....
