May 14th

Well, Geneva is pretty much the best. Sr. Bicchierri is a powerhouse, and we are just going to kill them with kindness and the love of God here! As I told you while we were skyping, we are working toward a Mongolian Branch! This is the big goal. You should look on lds.org at the videos about how the Church is growing in Mongolia, it's awesome. There is one returned missionary, we call her Jenny because her Mongolian name is crazy, but she was the first Mongolian member to move here to Geneva, and seriously they are coming in like crazy! They have such simple, beautiful faith. Sr. Bicchierri has decided to start a Mongolian Scripture study every Sunday, and we are also doing a Mongolian Family Home Evening every Monday night, and these things are with the goal to help continue to teach and support the recent converts, and teach them how to teach the gospel. Every monday, we will be using Preach My Gospel in Mongolian to practice teaching the lessons. And, do you remember how several years ago in the Oakland mission we prayed all together for weekly missionary experiences, monthly convert baptisms, and that our neighbors hearts will be softened? We are going to institute that with the Mongolians, too. One Mongolian baptism every month! And we are inviting them to try and bring sometone to sacrament meeting each week, too. Big goals, but I know we can do it! Sr Bicchierri and I like big goals, and we are trying every day to develop more faith to achieve them. ''et le Christ a dit, si vous avey foi en moi, vous aurez le pouvoir de faire tout ce qui est utile en moi'' (Moroni 7:33) Pray for our Mongolians! The baptism we have planned for this week is Ony, who is amazing. He is so ready, but he needs to recieve some documents from the Mongolian governement so that he can get married to his fiance who will be having a baby sometime soon. He is seriously going to be the Branch President someday!

Anyway, Mongolia. Liberia. Nepal. Camaroon. We teach people from so many different countries, what a blessing it is. I am truly blessed to have this opportunity to ''Bring the World His Truth.''

don't forget to smile :)

This is going to be a nother busy week of miracles, and I can't wait to talk to you again soon!

I hope that you have a GREAT marathon/half marathon! I am so proud of you! It was while running that race that I decided to do what I am doing right now. It was a great experience for me, and a time when I learned about the Atonement of Christ. I seriously prayed my way through to the finish line. I know you can do it, mommy! (and you too dad, but you've done it a time or two already. That goes for the CW fam, too.) I JUST LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!

Have a super week. Our study this week in the mission is about faith, and we are going to read from the Book of Mormon
 Alma 33-34. And with the Mongolians we are reading about the faith of the brother of Jared in Ether:3. You are welcome to join if you want :)

Ok I really better go

LOVE
