In Cognito

Good morning,

This week started off with me getting transferred elsewhere in Lyon
(Ecully). I didn't go far but still had to pack my bags and head out. On Monday morning, we went to president Browns house for the preparation day where they had food and games for all of the missionaries in Lyon. It was really fun to play and sing with 20 other missionaries. I even played a song for a couple missionaries to sing. It went alright. At the end of the day, everyone headed out while I got dressed with Elder Wade and Elder Menzel (my new companions). We went into presidents office and started the transfer process. The process went through Tuesday and it was amazing to see how the hand of God is in each and every missionaries life. I know that he leads this work.

Part of this week, since it is the last week of the transfer, was filled with boring office things which I won't write about.

We got to the missionary work and everything started going great! We found one lady that let us in and then invited us back the next day. When we were parking out of the car, Elder Wade jumped out and tried to talk with a mother and her son. He barely missed them but I stopped them and she invited us over the next day. We went contacting with president brown and met some really great people.

Sister brown is going to fatten me and I'm okay with it.

This next week, the new missionaries are going to come in and it is going to be really fun. I am excited to work hard with Elder Wade and Elder Menzel.

This week, my testimony of the family was really strengthened. The church and all of the teaching of Jesus Christ are made to strengthen the family. One day, almost everything will fall away, except for the family. It is a celestial organization necessary to our eternal progression. That's a big decision.

Love,
Elder Marshall Underwood
