I have a scripture for the plaque. Romans 8:35-39 or if that is too long just verses 38 and 39. I really like that scripture. My address is 3 parc gambetta Avenue Val St André aix-en-provence. Make sure to write les missionnaires by or above or under Soeur Russell.
It was exciting to hear about that baptism in Daniel and Jennifer's ward. I love hearing about baptisms, especially of families and couples. Right now in the mission we are really focusing on finding families. Right now in aix, we are only teaching single people, but we are working really hard and findinf a family to bless the gospel with. So I have two weeks to go over since I wasn't able to write anything last week. So last week, highlights were district meeting, we ate sandwiches, a couple lessons with Jacqueline, Nihat, Jean ( a really cool guy from Iran who speaks english, he used to be muslim but now he is christian) And then we had church. We also had to make an emergency trip to Lyon for a sister going home because she was sick. We had to escort her, because she couldn't be alone. There are lot of sisters going home because of sickness lately. We stayed the night there at another sisters apartment. They had 8 bunkbeds that had 3 beds each ( for sisters that come in for confernces and such. So they had 24 beds. 24 beds in one apartment. Thats cool. Then on this last monday, We went to Marseille to visite Notre Dame de la Garde. That is an extremely beautiful chapel. Its on a hill and extremely tall, so it really sticks out from the rest of the city. The word Garde actually means watch, like the Chapel is watching over the city. After that we went and got bagels and cheesecake at this one place with the senior couple there. We were running around for the rest of the day trying to get ready for Zone conference the next day. On tuesday, the Roneys and the Lunds ( he is in one of the quorums of the seventy) came to Zone conference. We learned a lot. :) I also got to see Soeur Modersitzki and Soeur Bowman and S Bouennenotte ( I know I spelt that wrong) and S Roberts. So I was very happy. Soeur Bowman and Soeur BN actually sang a musical number too. We also ate sandwiches. This last week, We also started teaching a new ami named Esther, ( she has been taught before and is visiting her for 4 weeks about) I did an exchange with Soeur Grunke ( a german sister who is super funny) and I ate octupus and mollusks to break our fast on sunday. And I ate about four mutton steaks last night. Nihat just stuffs us with different cuts or BBQed meat each time we eat over. Good thing we are not Vegetarien.
I love you all lots and I will be sure to send pictures next week!
Dieu vous aime!!!!
Vous etes ses enfants!
avec amour
Soeur Russell
