This week was odd... We started off with exchange in annemasse, then
had 2 days home, and then we were in Geneva for the day to do a big
zone finding day, then we had Saturday and Sunday home. It didn't
really feel like we were at home at all, and in the days we were at
home we did a lot of service. Which was awesome! But made it hard
because we weren't able to be out seeing Amis or anything like that.
But Saturday we had a fun but then really sad thing. Our Romanian Amis
invited us to a party because half of the family is Catholic and so
they had a baptism and invited us to the "after party" we thought it
would be a good chance to meet the rest of the family and show our
love. It was interesting... This family friend kept coming up to us
and trying to get us to dance, so we just shoved bread into our mouths
as an excuse because he did not get the "we can not dance". Finally
our Amis husband told him to stop. We were going to leave but then the
mother of the family came in and she pulled us to the side. She is a
member, and we start talking and she told us that there was a fire in
there house, they just found it and the whole inside is completely
black. There wasn't to much actually burnt, but the whole house is
covered in soot. They have nothing and then this happened. It hurts so
much realizing how relatively easy my life has been compared to
theirs, and how these things just happen to them. And it makes me
really sad realizing that I won't be here much longer and I can't help
them! The gospel would help them it is just so hard because of all
these things in their lives. And I just wish they could see it better.
This week we had a relief society activity about emergency
preparedness... And I feel slightly freaked out. I'm not ready! I
don't have a seventy two hour kit, I don't have food storage! I am not
prepared!
Some finding day in Geneva, these statues are all religious reformers
like Calvin! Really cool!
