Week 52! Temple trip

 Mandy and Atoussa at the temple selfie style haha

Hello everyone! This week was incredible! To start off...Mandy and
Atoussa went to the temple!! They were baptized and then one week
later they went to the temple and did baptisms! Ah it was so cool. We
worked on their family tree and printing names off and actually
Atoussa was able to go for 2 of her ancestors!! :) They took a few
photos and so at the bottom of this email I will post 2 of the photos
they took at the temple!! If you don't even read this email just make
sure you go and click on the photos. Elder Barnes and I were soooo
happy. They had such a great experience and loved it. This week was
filled with exchanges and zone conferences! The work is going really
well right now and we are grateful for it. So voilà la semaine:

Monday: Haha honestly Elder Barnes and I were so tired and exhausted
from the week before that we basically just slept all p day. Lame I
know, but it was worth it and felt nice. Then later we had an FHE
with Rishon and his mom Natasha as well as Mandy and Atoussa! It was
fun and we had a great night.
Tuesday: Exchange! I was in St. Genis with Elder Pittsenbarger. Elder
Pittsenbarger is in his last transfer and he's a stud. He played
baseball at St. Mary's before the mission so he talked a little smack
haha. We ported a lot haha. But since we brought the car to st. Genis,
we were able to go port areas that happened been touched in a long
time, which was nice. So around 6 we passed the Stauffer family! They
are seriously such a cool family and they have 2 cute kids who were so
funny. We showed up right as they were making dinner and so they
invited us in to eat with them! The dad is not a member so we shared a
thought on the temple and it went well! I was especially grateful for
the temple this week and really missed it! I am just so grateful for
the knowledge that families are forever. One day they will go to the
temple as a family and that will be an incredible day :) it is so
important to keep our lives centered on the temple (Mosiah 2: 5-6). I
really enjoyed being with Elder Pittsenbarger and learned a lot from
him. He's a good guy and will do well in life.
Wednesday: Exchange! I was in Geneva with Elder Brady Haug. Elder
Brady Haug actually came out onto the mission with me and so it was
fun to be with him again. He is from Germany and is such a stud. He
serves in the Spanish companionship and so we all started the exchange
off at a members house from the Spanish Ward! We were able to give her
a blessing and had a really cool experience. So after that, we went
and taught our ami Anthony! Anthony is 11 years old and his mom is a
member and he wants to be baptized so we started teaching him! He set
a baptismal date for May 29! We taught him the plan of salvation and
he loved it. He retained so much of what we taught him it was
impressive. After we had a rdv with Mandy and Atoussa! We read out of
the Book of Mormon for the whole lesson and they are progressing so
well! They have set a goal to finish the Book of Mormon together by
May 7th! After that we had a rdv with our ami Serge! We are still
trying to teach his whole family. But we taught serge about faith and
read in Alma 32! He is a great guy and is progressing well. Then after
all that Elder Brady Haug and I went and ate at the Peronnet's house!
They are such an awesome family and we had a great time there. It was
awesome to see how much has changed in the last year with Elder Brady
Haug. He's such a good guy and I loved being with him!
Thursday: Thursday was a more tranquil day. Elder Barnes and I
prepared a little bit to present at the big zone conference in Lyon on
Friday. Then we a few RDVs fall through but we went and passed
Atoussa's dad Ali to see how he was doing! He went to Atoussa's
baptism last Saturday and said he liked it! It's hard because he has a
drinking problem but said if he didn't drink he would be
baptized...so, we are trying to figure out a good way to help him! If
any of you have ideas email me :) then later that night we went and
ate chez la famille Bentele! They are such a cool family and they made
us ribs which was really nice.
Friday: Zone conference! We drove to Lyon and had the Geneva,
Lausanne, Lyon, and Écully zones there! Between our 4 zones there was
about 100 missionaries there! It was so awesome and the spirit was so
strong. The main focus was on baptism and it was really cool. Elder
Barnes and I presented on how to fill out a baptismal sheet
correctly...haha I promise we made it fun. The spirit really taught me
a lot. It was good to see so many people that I love as well! I could
go on and on about this day and tell you all that I learned, but I'll
spare you haha.
Saturday: Exchange! I was with Elder Golightly in Genève! So before I
talk about anything else, Elder Barnes and I woke up early to head to
the church to send Atoussa and Mandy to the temple with the members!
There was a big bus that came and picked everyone up and they went!!
They were so excited to go. Anyways, I already talked about it at the
top of this email but it was so cool. After that we went and drove to
Gex and started the exchange. This was my second exchange with him and
he is from Davis High as well! We went and taught Rishon the law of
chastity and the word of wisdom! Then we went and taught Anthony about
the Book of Mormon and how to read it! Then we went and passed Ali and
read from Alma 7 with him! At about 4:00 the bus came back from the
temple and we just happened to be at the church at the time so we were
able to talk with Atoussa and Mandy about the temple...they were blown
away by it. They both said they wanted to go back so bad and that they
wanted to go visit all the other temples. Haha it was so cool
honestly.
Sunday: Church! It was great and I love going to Sacrament every week.
Rishon came to church and they announced his baptism for this
Saturday! He asked Elder Barnes to baptism him and so that will be
such a cool experience I'm so excited for it :) after church we did
some planning for the week and then we went and ate at the Cornetta
family home! They are such a funny family. They have a 13 year old kid
named Samuel and he was acting like Josh so much haha. Josh it made me
miss you a lot ha! He kept on getting in my face and telling me to
wrestle and fight him...I can't wait to get home and beat up on josh
again ;) honestly though with how big he's been getting lately I don't
know if I'll be able to. Haha I'm sending a photo of him. Then after
we went to the church and did zone numbers!

So I received a letter from my little sister Kayla this week and she
explained the Parable of the Lost Sheep. When I read it I am not even
kidding I was just blown away by how simple she put it, but yet how
true and spiritual it was. It brought a whole new meaning to the
parable and I had never realized that the lost sheep is often, me. So,
for my thought of the week, I took a picture of her cute letter and I
strongly invite and encourage everyone to click on the picture and
read what she wrote. I promise it will bring an added light to your
understanding of the parable. Kayla, you're so cute :)

Have a great week :)

Week 51 Mandy and Atoussa's Baptism!!

Hello everyone! This week was so incredible. Mandy and Atoussa's
baptism was a very powerful and spiritual experience and I am grateful
to have been apart of it. This week was filled with amazing
experiences that I will forever be grateful for. Here is the recap!
Tuesday: We started an exchange with the Salève Elders! I was with
Elder Price here in Geneva. Elder Price played basketball at Layton
High and I honestly love him so much he is such a good guy. We went
and met with Ali and taught him and tried to help him quit smoking
again. Still a work in process haha. So then we contacted into someone
named Bertron and he was just about to go and pick his kids up but he
had about 20 or so minutes so we taught him the retab and fixed a rdv
for Friday! We also went and had a family home evening at the Barray
family home with Atoussa and Mandy and we read Moroni 6! Good stuff.
Wednesday: So Elder Barnes and I drove to Annecy for the Salève
district meeting. Along the way we found this way cool bridge and
snapped a few photos which I'll send. But anyways, Elder Price is the
DL of the district and he did a great job! We talked about getting
Amis to church and extending commitments. So then we made it back to
Geneva and we had a quick lesson with Mandy and Atoussa and registered
them with familysearch.org to be able to find some names to go to the
temple with next week!
Thursday: okay so between Thursday and Saturday night right before
Atoussa and Mandy's baptism there was so much opposition it was
incredible! But, we had district meeting in Geneva and Elder Mauss is
the DL here and we talked about the same thing as the Salève district!
It was great. Then we got a call from our ward mission leader telling
us about some opposition that had happened with Mandy and Atoussa! So
we spent the next little bit taking care of all of that. But it all
got solved...kind of. So then we saw Rishon and taught him about the
plan of salvation! His understanding is amazing and he retains
information so well. Then we had a high council meeting to go to for
the Stake and we talked about the missionary work in the area.
Friday: Friday was super busy. We had 5 RDVs all back to back and they
all took place. So the first was with Atoussa and Mandy and it was the
last one before their baptism! We read 3 Nephi 27 with them and pumped
them up for their baptism!! It went super well and we taught with
Sister Ischola who is an amazing member here. Then after we taught
Bertron and he even brought his friend Yan! We taught the restoration
to them and they had a lot of questions but we responded to them and
gave them their own Book of Mormon and they said they would start to
read it! Then we had an intense rdv with Mandy's grandma which lasted
about 5 minutes. She was not happy Mandy was getting baptized to say
the least! A lot could be said about that situation but I will just
leave it at that. Then we had a rdv with an ami named Serge! So serge
is from Congo and is married and has 3 kids and asked for a Book of
Mormon online! So last week Elder Barnes was on an exchange and he
committed him to baptism for May 7th! So we showed up this time and we
taught him the restoration and he loved it! The spirit was really
strong. He talked to his wife and his 8 year old daughter and they
want to be baptized too!! :) it was seriously so cool. I am excited to
see his progression over the next few weeks! Then after we went and
saw Rishon at Sister Ischola's house and we taught him about faith and
repentance! His baptism for April 30th is looking great!
Saturday: Baptism day! Hahaha I can honestly promise the week went by
so slowly with everything that was happening and all the opposition
there was, and we were just praying that Saturday would come. And
voilà it did haha. So we started off by playing soccer with the
district and some Amis! Then we got ready for the baptism! Elder
Barnes and I showed up at the church and like 10 minutes later Atoussa
and Mandy did! The baptismal service was so incredible!! Mandy asked
me to baptize her, while Atoussa asked Elder Barnes! It was seriously
such a powerful moment to see these girls enter the water! After Mandy
came out of the water she just had the biggest smile on her face and
said "c'est magnifique" (I think you call all translate that haha).
Mandy was baptized first, and then Atoussa went! It was seriously so
cool I can't even really explain it. They were so happy and honestly
glowing! After we had a little celebration at the church with the
members! The Ward support was so incredible for Atoussa and Mandy. The
Ward has seriously been right by their sides. They received a lot of
hugs and bisous from the the Ward. You just had to have been there,
but it was so amazing! We got texts from both of them later that night
saying how happy they were and Mandy said, "Thank you, I am so happy
to have done it. I feel like a new life is starting for me and I will
never regret it." Atoussa said, "Thank you for tonight, it was magical
and I am so excited for tomorrow (talking about the confirmation"
Sunday: Confirmation! Our ward mission leader Fidalgo was able to
confirm both Mandy and Atoussa members of the church :) ah it was so
amazing and the spirit was so strong. Seriously after both of the
confirmations they both had the biggest smiles and they looked so
happy. Also Serge and Rishon came to church and the Ward members loved
them. Seriously the Ward here is incredible. So then after we taught
our Amis class and we taught the plan of salvation and Atoussa helped
us teach haha. She did such a good job too...there were multiple
moments where she would say something right out of Preach My Gospel
and she doesn't even know what that is haha. We need to get her on a
mission! So then after church Atoussa and Mandy had their temple
interviews and both received their recommend! They are going to try
and go to the temple this Saturday...how amazing is that? Seriously
elder Barnes and I were so happy for them. They were so prepared to
receive the gospel. We first met Atoussa 6 weeks ago and now she is
baptized! And our first lesson with Mandy was March 17th and she was
baptized less than a month later. It is just crazy to see how prepared
they were. I am so happy for the both of them :)
But after all that ended, we went and ate at the Bishops house! The
Gaag family is so awesome I love them a lot.

Crazy week!! I was really humbled as I partook of the sacrament this
week. I am so grateful for the sacrament and what it means. My
scripture for the week is 2 Nephi 31:21. I know that every line in
that scripture is true. Thank you for the prayers and support :)

Elder Wade

2 Nephi 31:21

And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen.

Week 50! 1 Year left...

Rishon! He is getting baptized on April 30!

Hello everyone! Another week in the books! I'm always bad at beginning
these, so here is the recap haha

Lundi: So after P day we went and had dinner with the Bentele family!
It was awesome because they have a 17 year old daughter named Alizée
and Mandy and Atoussa are both 18 years old and so they became
friends! They were excited to hear that Mandy and Atoussa are being
baptized on April 16th! So we all ate together and then we shared a
spiritual thought on obedience and faith and it went well!
Mardi: so elder Barnes and I woke up and made the trip to Lyon for
MLC! Basically at MLC all the zone leaders are taught by President
Brown and the assistants! That pretty much took the whole day.
Basically President gave us a challenge of 91 baptisms this
transfer...or 1 baptism per companionship. We talked about ways that
we could accomplish the goal. We also talked about how to teach more
using the Book of Mormon :) it was also great to see some of my other
companions I've served with there like Elder Boynton and Elder
Richmond (who are actually companions right now in Bordeaux.) voilà
just a lot of missionary stuff!
Mercredi: great day! So we took our notes from MLC and prepared a
little bit to present at our zone! Then we had a little bit to do some
contacting and we saw some pretty cool things and talked to some cool
people! Then we had a mini rdv with the Suisse STLs by skype to
prepare for zone training a little bit more! Then we went chez la
famille Volpicelli with Mandy and Atoussa and we taught them the law
of chastity. It went super well and they both accepted. As we were
teaching, I just got really grateful for this commandment and how much
it blesses us. Sometimes we overlook the blessings that we receive
while we keep it, but it really does bless us so much and I am so
grateful for it :) also as we went home that night and finished
planning for zone training, elder Barnes and I thought of a goal for
our zone. We really prayed and we felt like we could get 15 baptisms
this transfer as a zone. That would be a lot of work considering that
would be the most baptisms in this zone in a transfer, but we have
faith :) in our zone there are 13 companionships so that would be 2
more than 1 per equipe in our zone. Haha if that made any sense. Luke
1:37 though :)
Jeudi: zone training! Zone training went super good! It was nice to
have our whole zone together for the first time of the transfer. It
was so weird because when I first came into the mission Elder Burton
was my ZL in Nice and now he is finishing his mission and I am his ha.
Honestly I love him he's a stud and it was good to catch up with him
after a few months. And then the Austin couple made an amazing lunch
for us all after! Elder and Sister Austin are the best. Then after
zone training I was on an exchange with Elder Mauss! He works here in
Geneva as well. Elder Mauss  took comedian classes at BYU and he's so
funny haha. We had a few RDVs that fell through and so we contacted.
At the end of the night we went and passed a family who was just
baptized about 2 moths ago. They are incredible. They were found,
taught, and baptized in about 5 weeks. So we read the Book of Mormon
with them.
Vendredi: so we exchanged colleagues so I was back with Elder Barnes
and we went and gave a 15 year old girl in the Ward a blessing at the
hospital! She had surgery on her stomach and wanted a blessing. I am
very grateful for the priesthood and for opportunities to use it. Then
after that we started another exchange with the Elders from Chambery!
I was with elder Hoopes from American Fork! He is a good kid and I
really enjoyed being with him. We went and taught Mandy and Atoussa
about prayer and scripture study. Then after we got back in contact
with Ali and went and had a heart to heart with him haha. He decided
to start meeting with us again! Then at 7 we had our weekly
Amis/members party and We watched "Meet the Mormons." I forgot what it
was like to say goodbye to my family and the story at the end
definitely reminded me of how hard it was! It's crazy that's been a
year!!
Samedi: finally after 6 months I had another Samedi sportif!! We went
and played soccer with most of the Geneva district and some members
and Amis! We are going to start playing every Saturday with Amis! So
then directly after that we ran to the church and gave a blessing to
one of the sisters investigators named Natasha! Natasha is super cool
and has a 14 year old sun named Rishon that we started teaching on
Saturday as well! Natasha came up to us Friday night after watching
"Meet the Mormons" and told us that she wants her son Rishon to be
like us one day and go on a mission! So Natasha is getting baptized on
April 30th and Rishon met with us at the church and we had such a cool
rdv with him! We taught Rishon the story of another 14 year old boy
like himself who wanted to know which church was true...really
powerful. He accepted baptism on April 30th with his mom as well! He
is so incredible and is so humble. I love him already. After the rdv
there was a baptism of an 8 year old boy in the English Ward and so we
brought Mandy and Atoussa to that so that they could see how it works!
They loved it! After we picked out their white clothes for the baptism
on the 16th! So after that we taught Ali and Parvine! We read out of
the Book of Mormon with them! Ali said that ever since he started
reading the Book of Mormon his desire to smoke has gone down! It was
cool :)
Dimanche: So we woke up and ran to the church and Atoussa had her
baptismal interview and everything went well :) then we had church
which was soooo great. Then after church Mandy had her baptismal
interview and it went perfectly! They are all set for the 16th! Then
we went over to Ali's house with Parvine, Mandy and Atoussa and we ate
dinner! It was cool because Atoussa and Mandy both fasted as well :)
also Rishon came to church by himself! We were so happy he was there.

We are so excited with the baptisms of Mandy and Atoussa this weekend.
It really is incredible to see how much faith both of them have.
Mandy's mom is still super against her choice to be baptized and has
basically kicked her out of the house, but she knows it's true and
still wants to be baptized. It has been really humbling to see their
progression together over the past month and to see how prepared they
have been! It would be awesome if you kept them in your prayers this
week :)

John 16:33 is my scripture for the week. For me it is so comforting
and I love the simplicity by which he says, "In the world ye shall
have tribulation..." He doesn't say "maybe you'll have tribulation" or
"if you live righteously and perfectly you can avoid tribulation." He
says we will have tribulation. But, Christ will never leave us alone.
He finishes the verse by saying, "But be of good cheer; I have
overcome the world." And honestly I love how he says that. He simply
says that he has overcome the world...and because he has, we will
never have to go through anything in life alone. And because of this
knowledge we should be of good cheer!!

Bonne semaine!
Elder Wade

John 16:33

 33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Week 49 Birthday Week

Hermana Alicia! Such a cute lady

Hello everybody! I hope you all enjoyed conference because I sure did.
One of my favorite talks was by Donald L. Halstrom of the 70 when he
talked about us as children of God. It is such a simple, taught truth
that sometimes I even forget how amazing it is to know that we are all
children of a loving Father in Heaven. I am grateful for this
knowledge and I know that it is true. I was also deeply touched by the
Mormon Tabernacle Choir and their performance of "Come Thou Fount." I
want everyone to know that I know Jesus Christ is at the head of this
church and that he loves us individually and knows perfectly our
situations. There were multiple times throughout conference where I
thought I was the only person in the room and the speaker was only
speaking to me. I could go on and on about conference, but I'll give
you the recap of the week:
Lundi: So in the morning we said goodbye to everyone who was leaving
our zone! It was sad because honestly I loved our zone! But our new
zone is so cool. We had 14 new people come into the zone and Elder
Barnes and I are so excited! So we basically just hung out with some
other missionaries and waited all day until all the missionaries
coming into our zone arrived in Geneva! Then after that we went and
taught Atoussa and Mandy! We taught about repentance and faith and
fasting! We all decided that we would fast starting Tuesday night
through Wednesday night so that Mandy and Atoussa could receive their
answers and that Mandy's mom would let her be baptized. (Even though
she's 18 and its he choice)
Mardi: so we woke up early and took some elders to the Gare and sent
them off to Lausanne. After our companionship and the Spanish elders
did a little exchange and Elder Brady Haug and I went to the Gare and
got buss passes for all the new people in our zone! It was good to
catch up with Elder Brady Haug because we came in with each other and
I haven't really seen him since we hit the field! He's a stud though
and the Spanish elders live 2 floors above us, so they sleep over a
lot. And he's from Germany as well haha. Also we ate chez la famille
Rimli! Haha the Frere Rimli is such a Swaggy old man. We also starter
our fast for Mandy and Atoussa and they fasted with us!! Oh yeah so
while elder Brady Haug and I were at the Gare we stopped by a
boulangerie shop and I bought 2 pain au chocolats for us and I didn't
have enough money haha it was super embarrassing. So then I changed
the order to regular croissants which were less expensive and hoping I
would have enough money to at least by them. Luckily it passed and so
the man handed us the bag and smiled! So then we walked out and went
to go eat the croissants when we realized he actually put the pain au
chocolats in the bag instead of the croissants. It was nice because I
remember seeing him put the croissant in our bag and then do something
weird with our bag. Anyways, it was super nice and stuff like that
doesn't happen a lot haha. He obviously saw I was embarrassed that I
couldn't even buy 2 pain au chocolats so he gave them to us anyways :)
(poor missionary life ;) )
Mercredi: okay incredible day! So we fasted until about 5 and met with
Atoussa and Mandy and had Frere Barret with us to help us teach! We
ate some pizza and then we talked about baptism and the Holy Ghost.
The spirit was unreal strong during the RDV. It was really humbling to
watch the spirit guide our words and the words of Frere Barret. We
started talking about their lives and how if they both joined the
church they would be the first people in their family to join and that
they could "start eternity" for their family. Then Frere Barret told a
story about how his dad joined the church in his 20s and how he is so
grateful for his dad's choice. Then he showed a picture of his
beautiful wife and baby boy and said that his dad's choice in joining
the church is the reason for all of his happiness with his family.
Then we just testified that although they are young and Mandy's mom is
super against her being baptized, that there would be blessings. We
asked Mandy if she would like to start eternity for her family and be
baptized, and finally, she said, "yes." Her and Atoussa are both
scheduled to get baptized April 16!!
Jeudi: Birthday! Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes. So
elder Barnes and I woke up and exercised and then Elder Barnes made me
some Grannie Annie's breakfast!! It's so weird to think that 2 years
ago exactly he took me out for lunch in a kaysville and now we are
still comps half way across the world. I love him. Anyways so we
helped out with a move, and then visited a recent concert in the
hospital with leg surgery named Maykel. Maykel had 2 friends with him
and they were playing FIFA. They played Fifa about as good as Jarett
Gardner (s/o for the mission call to New York this week!!)... which
means I would've whooped up on them ;);) Side explanation: in Geneva
there are 3 wards that meet in the building at different times:
French, English and Spanish. So I have just come to love one of the
hermana's in the Spanish Ward and she invited us over with some other
missionaries to celebrate my birthday!! It was super fun and we had a
good time with our district at her house. Then at the end of the
night, President Brown randomly called to see how I was doing and he
didn't even know it was my birthday...funny how the spirit works
right? He said, "well now I know why I felt like I should call you!" I
love president so much. We got to talk for a little while and it was
great.
Vendredi: another great day! So we ate at the cornetta's home! Then we
had a few tombez vous and then we went contacting at this big plaza
and saw some cool stuff. Then we did our weekly Amis/members activity
and it was crepe night! At the very end of the crepe night they did a
mini surprise birthday party for me and brought out cake and candles
haha :) Atoussa even made the cake!! I love the people here so much.
Our DMP (Ward mission leader) Fidalgo is honestly such a stud. I love
him so much and he's such a good guy and he's been so good to me since
I've been here. He is 29 and served a mission in England and has
literally the cutest baby girl on the planet named Rosie (pics coming)
Samedi: Saturday morning we woke up and had a rdv with someone we
called out of the area book named Baltisti! She was great and asked
some super good questions. We taught about the Book of Mormon and
fixed a return visit for this week! Then we had some contacting and
some planning for the transfer. Then at the end of the night we
watched the Saturday morning session of General Conference!
Dimanche: we woke up and watched Priesthood session, Saturday
afternoon and then Sunday morning live with all of you! It was awesome
because most of our zone came to Geneva to watch it with us :)
honestly I can't even begin to describe the things I learned. I
learned soooo much and the Spirit constantly bore witness of the
truthfulness. Even though I'm not writing a lot about Saturday and
Sunday when we watched conference, just know that I loved every minute
of it and was practically in heaven haha. It was also soooo cool to
see my old mission president, President Roney, get called as a 70!!

The work is going great! Please keep Mandy and Atoussa in your prayers
during her next few weeks. It sounds like Mandy is getting kicked out
of her house, and all because she wants to be baptized. They are
incredible and are true examples of "enduring to the end." Have a
great week!
