[Week 27] Halloween

Another week down here in Brive! How was halloween for everyone? Sounds like the trick or treaters didnt come out too much this year. Maybe because theyre going on missions now since they changed the age! Here in France they dont really celebrate it. The members say its a ' pagan holiday '. I guess they have reason though haha. I laughed when mom told me dad bought too much candy. I can hear him saying, ' oh no. thats too bad. Looks like Ill just have to eat it then '. haha. I love you guys.




We had district meeting this week and I got to meet all the missionaries in the district. All great guys of course. I was werid going back to Perigueux for the reunion. It feels like I was just there with my father! But at the same time it feels ages ago. Time is a really weird concept. We started teaching a partial member family this week and we have really high hopes for them. The husband is a really strong member, and his wife is super duper nice, but not yet a member. I really think she could be baptized before the new year. There are several other partial member families in the ward we are starting to work with. There is a lot of potential within our own branch. Also we helped move out a family and load everything up into the new house. We were planning on only being there til 4, but it ended up being a full day affair! From 8 til 9! We wanted to get out so we could do real missionary work, but since we were in another ville 30 mins away, we were a little trapped! Its all good though they really needed the help.

Sunday we have Zone conference in Bordeaux! Where we will be hearing the good words of Elder Anderson and his wife. Soooo stoked! Also this week Ill be going on exchange with our distrct leader in Bergerac. Im excited to see Jean Charles and some of my other friends over there. Well not a lot to write this week. It sounds like all is well in zion! That pleases me! I love you all and thanks for all that you have done, do, and will do for me. Im so blessed to have such a great family and such great friends. Bisous!!!!

Forever Love
Elder Gruber
