Hello everyone! This transfer has come to an end. Elder Steadman's going to Valance, and I'm staying and receiving Elder Keller. He's a few transfers older than me, but we both will be senior companions.
So, to update the week!
On Monday we had presidents P-day! That's where the two Lyon zones go to presidents house and just chill. There's a volleyball net on the grass, a basketball court, and ping pong down stairs.
We had lunch and played until the evening. President then talked to all of us on being safe in Lyon. It's become a target city, so we just need to be careful.
Tuesday: we did a little inventory of the garage. And then we drove down to Grenoble to stay the night.
Wednesday: we drove to Gap to go drop off some things to the new senior couple, the walkers. We saw our friend Elder Engle, who came into the mission with us. We stayed for lunch, and we had an early thanksgiving meal!
We had to head home after that. The drive to Grenoble was through winding mountain roads. It was beautiful!
When we got back to Grenoble, the elders weren't home. So we went to the top of the mountain to check out a fort. There were even caves and we got some awesome pictures.
Thursday: we came back to Lyon, and then to St. Etienne to help move some things into the sister's new apartment. Their old one got all smokey due to a fire. We had to fit in a huge dresser into the car. We barley got it in!
After St. Etienne we came home. We stole some bunk beds from their apartment, so we set them up at our home!
Friday: we got our transfer calls, and went to Geneva to get some things at IKEA for the English speaking elders.
We had to shop for some things they needed for their apartment.
We dropped off their things at their apartment, and then we drove home. It rained super hard the entire way back. Looks like it's finally winter now...
Saturday: we did a small exchange with the Zone Leaders. I went with Elder Walker and we went to play Soccer. Elder Steadman went with Elder Hansen to a baptism.
At soccer it started to rain and blow wind. It was freezing, so soccer was canceled. Elder Walker and I decided to go to McDonalds for an early lunch.
After lunch we met up wth the other elders.
Elder Steadman and I then went to St. Etienne again. We went to Ikea again, and got some sheets and new blankets for the sisters there.
We dropped that off, and went to Buffalo Grill for a early dinner.
We got some good steak and Mac and Cheese. I started to crack some salt on my food, but I broke the salt shaker, and salt went all over my plate. We then drove home in the rain again!
On Sunday elder steadman packed and then we went to church. We came back and picked up Elder Sorenson and Hansen at the Gare, and we brought them back to our apartment.
And this Monday morning we went to the Gare to meet up with all the people leaving.
Now we are at the mall shopping!
Well that's the end of this transfer! I love you all! We hopefully have Gabriel's baptism this Saturday! He's doing great! Keep praying for him! Pray for us!
-Love Elder Race Acheson
