Here's the thing, this was the BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE BIRTHDAY WISHESSSSS :)))))))


Seriously, I don't think there are even words enough to explain or express how incredibly blessed I feel, and how incredibly TRUE the gospel of Jesus Christ is. His Atonement truly has the power and the purpose to make bad men good, and good men better.

So, Monday was tranquille, I honestly dont remember much. We had Mongolian FHE (family home evening) which is always a blast. I love them!!!

Tuesday, we met with the inner mongolian bataar who speaks chinese with our miracle member who served his mission in mongolia and speaks mongolian and chinese. it was awesome. At this same time Ony was getting MARRIED in the Mongolian Embassy to his beautiful WIFE! LAter, we had a RDV with Stephane who, long story short, after a great big series of miracles and revelation through prayer and studying the Book of Mormon, Bible, and the Liahona (church magazine), he came to our rendez vous and he told us how he knew that we had prophets on the earth today and that this was the true church of Jesus Christ on the earth and said 'please, can I be baptized this weekend instead? I don't want to wait another week.....' .....YESSS! And then we met with our friend matthew, who is really on the brink of making some major changes in his life. WE Also met with a guy named Timothy who is here on vacation, and way interested in the Book of Mormon, and we had a miraculous DMP meeting (dirigeant missionaire de paroisse....) yep. solid day.

Wednesday we did exchanges and I was with sister addis who is one transfer younger than me (I was her 'mom' in the mtc) and I just love her! WE had another rdv with stephane, which was a bit of a stumbling block actually, but really good because it forced us to pray hard and try and respond to his needs and questions. We had a couple other meetings and totally had a miracle that night too. Voila.

Thursday. Sister Waldron's bday! I also had a huge coldsore coming in (just two baptisms coming up that weekend and like 0 time to prepare...not stressed!) so that was actually hilarious. We went on a walk in the little forest next to our house for exercises, and finished the exchange, and then sr bicchierri and I went to ony's and he and his wife and sister in law had made me an asian birthday FEAST! Seriously. He gave me a little statue of an angel from him and his wife as a gift and said 'it's you!' heart. melting. I LOVE THEM!

WE had another RDV with matthew, and an awesome rdv with stephane, and then some total miracles that night working with the young adults. we visited our friend lucy who is from liberia and is just falling in love with the church, seriously, she called me today just to say how much she loves us all. ha. Pretty amazing birthday.

Friday was zone conference, president and soeur murdock's last. I love them. They have changed my life, and saved it in many ways. We learned many words of life that day. We sang 'God be with you' and I cried like a child. President gave all the sisters hugs and that was the best! and soeur murdock too, but we hug her all the time. ha. I LOVE THEM! WE then visited our little family hernandez, and when we walked in she was googling pictures of the temple. She like wants to go next week. Seriously, ETERNAL FAMILY IN THE MAKING! I love it. Then we taught some Mongolians who we met last week, with brother gabriel who is still such a miracle, and it was great. Again, super day.

So saturday, Ony has his baptisimal interview with Elder Quesada, and he totally gave him a white shirt and ties, and Ony was SO EXCITED! Seriously, adorable. Then, we had our last RDV with Stéphane...so incredible....we were basically all holding bakc the tears. And after that we had a little break before the adult session of stake conference, which was super! And then Stéphane had his interview, and seiously, SO MANY MIRACLES! I wish I could tell you every detail of my life right now! I wish I could even remember them all myself! 

So Then there was sunday. Which was Spencer's birhtday, and also one of the best days of my entire life!!!!!! I hope that for your birthday, you recieved all of the blessings of this remarkable day :) We had a braodcast of a special stake conference for our part of Europe, and we heard from the Primary General PResident, Elder Zwick, Elder Nelson, and PResident Eyring.They talked a lot about families, and eternity, and what we need to teach our children, and how we need to reach out to our families and its part of our stewardship. It was SO GOOD! And I got to see it twice beacuse of the french, english wards. So great. Ony was there in his shirt and tie translating for his mom and his wife and all the others, and thirty minutes after the conference he was baptized. IT was SUCH a powerful experience. I can't really explain it. After that, we had the baptisimal service for Stéphane. Wow. wow. wow. I still can't believe it was all real. BUT IT IS! IT was so incredibly powerful. 

We all went together to the mission home later that night for the last new member fireside with President and Soeur Murdock, and we were there with the Hernandez's, Stephane, and Ony, and it was basically incredible. All of the new members got to share their testimonies, and we were just all delighted to be together. Needless to say, we all went to bed with smiles on our faces, and we are anxiously awaiting Sundy when these two incredible men will recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost, and this will complete a beautiful and MIRACULOUS transfer here in Geneva. I never could have imagined this the first day I arrived at the mission home. What a priviledge to be helping the Lord bring the gospel to people from literally all over the world, here in this part of His vineyeard. I know He lives! For the things we have felt in our hearts 'couldn't have been placed there by anyone else.' This is His church. If it wasn't, 19 year old boys and 20 something girls could not be helping people change their lives every day. The Book of Mormon changes lives EVERY DAY. It is basically one giant LFD (lessons from dad-a term we use in our family for when my dad talks to us) I decided, only its from our Father in Heaven. HE LOVES US SO MUCH!!! Everything we need to know to make it in this life has been revealed by God through His prophets. Everlasting happiness will be ours if we choose it!

I love you with all my heart. I LOVE THIS GOSPEL! I know it is the truth!!! REally, it is the most liberating thing. If you don't know it, find it out. Give the Spirit a chance to give you this immense joy by reading the Book of Mormon, Going to Chruch, and praying and asking your Father in Heaven. I love you all with all of my heart. I LOVE MY MISSION!

Soeur Waldron
