Do you think Adam has a jelly belly?

This week was a really good week here in Lyon. I got transferred to the Confluence ward. This meant that on Monday, we stayed at the train station to make sure that everyone got on their trains. That night, we had a few trainers at our house which was fun.

What I learned on Tuesday morning was really important. Elder Coopen, who is a great missionary, was training and so we got to discussing about contacting. He showed me how he would contact someone and it was really impressive. Later that day, I was talking to someone, and I tried to use the same strategy that he had used that morning and I fell straight on my face. I then decided that I better listen to the spirit. The conversation started dying down and I said, "do you want to know if God exists?" The man thought for a while and said, "yeah, I would." This message is true. I love to share it.

Wednesday was a good time because we got to see the trainees meet their trainers. There was a good training and I learned a lot. That night, Elder Battezzato looked at me really seriously and asked, "Elder Underwood, do you think Adam has a belly jelly?" He wanted to say belly button but it took me a minute to figure that out. He's hilarious.

My new companion is Elder Battezzato. He's from Italy and he's a great missionary. We saw some good things happen this week by passing by some old investigators and some less active members. I'm loving Lyon, because it is a beautiful city.

On Friday, President Brown took us in a boat down the river to see the lights of Lyon. It was stunning and he's such a generous man.

On Sunday, we got to use a brand new Chapel. It's 4 floors tall.

That's all,
Elder Marshall Underwood
