Salut family! Another week has come and gone, and here we are again. This week was a good one. Sounds like everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I really love that holiday, and I dont think I realizd it until I was away from it! I guess Christmas always steals the hype of Thanksgiving, but Im here to tell you its one of the best things ever invented. I'm stoked to have a thanksgiving together as a family again and watch football with you dad! (And try my hand at cooking with you mom).
Welp this week was a lot like every other week, except I went on exchange with Elder Peel in Bergerac. Elder Peel is one of the cutest little guys ive ever met. So sincere. And he's got a great chin. Then the next day we had a zone training in Bordeaux where we basically went through and reviewed everything Elder Anderson taught us. Also we got introduced into this new game President made to incorporate members more into missionary work and get them excited. Its really inspired and works great if done right, if not things could go terribly wrong. After wards he found an old football and tossed the pig skin around for a bit and played some 7 on 7. It was classic being out with the boys in the school yard having a great time. Ensuite we were blessed to eat a great Thanksgiving dinner. Elder Johnson And Soeur Johnson are the senior missionaries for our zone and they made us a wonderful meal. I was very greatful! She made some of the best sweet potates Ive ever had.
Otherwise this week we found 2 new investigators. We're seeing so many miracles here. The trick is getting amis to progress and then into the fount. We're really focusing our efforts on working with members and its going great. We have a baptismal date for the 15 decembre with a guy named Victor, he is a cousin of one of the recent converts here. I'm not sure if he'll be able to make his date, he hasnt been coming out to church. Its tough to get amis to church because the chapel is 30 mins walk outside of town and not alot of people have cars here. Plus there isnt much public transport in Brive. Other than that we have some really cool potential amis and amis that have a lot of potential to be baptized. Its frustrating sometimes seeing people just not try but I guess thats just something that will always happen in life.
I love you all. Friday we get transfer calls so if anyone is going to send a letter hold off til next week when I know if Ill be here or not. I should be, and odds are that I will be, but you never know anymore! Ill let you all know how it goes next week!! Thanks for all you do. I invite everyone to have an attidude of gratitude and really focus on the things in life that are important. Its amazing at the things people get caught up with here. Such minor things strain relationships. Please have a spirit of forgiveness and an attitude of gratitude. I promise you will be a lot happier in your lives. And most importantly you will help others feel the love of God for them.
Have a great week America.
Forever Love
Elder Gruber
