Caught up

Je t'aime!
I had a great week here in Geneva.
It was nice to be able to relax
a little.
Being in Geneva this week was great!
It was a great chance to work in our
own area, and to get caught up on
things here at the mission home.
As far as I know, we are all caught up,
something I haven't been able to do in
my 6 months here in Geneva.
This week I went on two exchanges,
both of them taking place here in Geneva.
They went very well, and I always like
being able to get a couple of hours to go
out and talk to people in the road.
Speaking of being outside, the weather has
become quite cold over the last week,
but I love it! I really like being able
to wear a coat and scarf.
I hope it snows here soon.
We had a baptism here on Saturday which
went very well! Her name is Kelly M and
she is 9 years old. She is from a
family that has been inactive over the
last 5+ years. We have been working
really hard with them and
they are doing so well!
They have been coming to church for
the last 4 months, and they haven't
missed a Sunday in 3! Another great
thing is that Kelly has two older brothers,
S who is 18, and E who is 17. S was
ordained a priest last Tuesday,
and E a Teacher, and S was able to
perform the baptism! It was great!
It was such a great opportunity seeing
the family united like that.
Another great thing that happened this
week is with the recently called Ward
Mission Leader in one of our wards.
He is a little timid about his
capabilities, but the thing he did
this week was something I have never
seen any member do on my whole mission.
He invited a friend of his to have a
family home evening 2 weeks ago,
where he came and they talked about families.
He then invited him to church where he,
came and was introduced to us. We
taught him twice this week, he came to
the baptism on Saturday, and again to
church yesterday. He told us that he
thinks he will be the next one baptized!
IT was a great testimony builder to me
that members truly can have the biggest
effort in this work!
This week will be primarily spent
working on the Transfer Board with the
mission president. I don't know what
will happen yet, but I think I might be
staying for a 5th transfer here.
The weeks working on the transfer board are
always the fastest so this week should fly!
Have a great week.
Love always,
Elder Clayton Henderson Welch
