CES training and our first Swiss Baptism







Well, we are doing alot of work, but sometimes is just turns into fun. like teaching yoga at Primary activity day..visiting first time new parents,and our first Swiss YSA baptism!. This week we needed to go very early to get everything done. Jim attended High Council while I drove to Institute, downtown and back,,at night , alone! Included in the photos is the Duane which we pass through several times a day, it is the border between France and Swiss and right next to it are the cows and the airport. all in one shot. .During our serving we saw a few new sights in down town Geneva . This second year makes a big difference in our confidence in traveling and helping new missionaries. We are grateful to serve 2 years as we already see differences in the leadership at the Instittut and the turn over of YSA, missionaries coming and going from this stake and from our mission. The greatest thing this week was yesterday, a stake RS meeting where we ended our humanitarian knitting and crocheting project ( I taught many others knitting and made over 20 items) then we drove to Yverdon( a great medieval Swiss town on a lac), for a CES training for the Eastern half of our mission. We heard Pres. Bednars talk for the CES leaders/teachers > We both felt very moved after the talk. I have never been so instructed in all my years of teaching, If you have a chance to view/,,,,,please take the time,, and we ended the day with our first Swiss baptism. The few words from Elder Bednar to end.....Observe, Listen, disern, and Jump out of the boat (refering to the New Testament)
