We did the mission leadership council and it was so good! We weretalking about faith and elder Connell raised his hand and brought up a story about the savior. He told the story and got really emotional. We then asked him to read our next slide and it was the same exact story that we had planned to share. You could say it's chance but there are quite a few stories in the scriptures that deal with faith. You can tell when a meeting is led by the Spirit.
Elder Wade left for Nice with president so it was just Elder Menzel and I and we found a man that accepted to be baptized. What a miracle! Elder Menzel also taught a woman while I played soccer with her son. That explains our companionship pretty well.
We left early last Monday to get to Nice. We played basketball with the other missionaries and went to Monaco even! That evening we ate at the Cresto family's house because they knew elder Wade when he was in Nice. She got super excited when she said that she worked at Longchamp and asked if I knew it. I said, "de Paris?" And then we were friends. I asked her son to say peace out and he said, "pistache."
We ran to the beach and skipped rocks in Nice. I love that place. The conference went beautifully and we had a presentation on the sacrament in a grove of olive trees. Very spiritual and very edifying.
After the conference, we got the best ice cream in the world- Fenocchios. What a beautiful day.
We then had 3 exchanges in a row. Elder Hekking, Elder Wilkey, and Elder Sebra. It was great to work with elder Wilkey again.
Yesterday, we met a guy that we had seen on a bus about a week ago and we went to sit by the river. We had a beautiful meeting and we taught him the restoration. He was sincere and wanted to know. We committed him to be baptized at the end of next month. He will receive and answer if he searches it diligently.
Love,
Elder Marshall Underwood
