This was a great week!
The greatest thing that happened was that we saw Amandine on Tuesday and set up her baptism for this Saturday. So, stay tuned until next week!
We had to travel a lot this week. First of all to Toulouse for a conference and then to Gap for an exchange. Ever since I got into the mission, it has been my dream to go to Gap. It's a little city nestled in the French alpes. Imagine park city but without strip malls and a lot smaller. It was amazing! The whole place smelled like pine trees! Elder Kahn and I worked really well together and found a lot of people that wanted to know what we were talking about. It really helped me realize that we are here to announce the restoration of Gods church. What great news!
Church was incredible this week. For a while in Ecully, the bishop has been doing special sacrament meetings called 'the Shepherd's sacrament.' It sounds a lot better in French. But we do one every two months and we take every member an invitation to the meeting. At the meeting, there were 18 non members and probably about 12 less-actives. It was beautiful to see.
That's all for this week. Next week I will have two knew companions. You'll probably recognize one of them. I'll be sad to let Elder Menzel and Elder Bouaka leave but it will be ok.
Love,
Elder Marshall Underwood
