Christmas Softens People's Hearts

Yeah sounds like you guys had a pretty busy week! But usually when
lacy and Katie are down there you guys have some pretty good videos of
funny stuff Lacy did! But maybe not this time I guess. The year is
winding down and things are wrapping up just to re opened for the new
year! I am super excited during this Christmas season! There are
Christmas markets and everything out here and it is so fun to see them
and all the people and all the good food. Mmmmmm I love good food.
Haha especially this high alps food. They have some really good cheese
and meat stuff out here! You'll have to try it! It's called Raclette
and they have Tartiflette as well.

But the things that were really cool this week was that we found a
couple new Amis and we started teaching them and they actually invited
us back! Haha it's not everyday you get return invites, we met a
family from the islands and they want to feed us and a guy named yves
and he wants to feed us and a couple families too in the branch. But I
guess it must be the Christmas time that softens people's hearts. A
cool miracle actually so yet eddy we needed some more convos for the
week so we decided to go right by lake Annecy and contact some people,
we had a couple good convos but no one was too interested in learning
more, but after about and hour or so we pass this lady and I
recognized her but I didn't remember where from... And then we just
started talking to her and her husband and then it hit me! She was
from this place we do service once a week and so we just SPARCed her
up and had a good convos and got her our number and she wants to have
us over to her house soon! Just goes to show that service can really
open people up to us, because her husband REALLY didn't want to talk
to us at first but she liked us so much that he warmed up a little
bit. So we will see where that goes! Our mailing address is 24
boulevard du fier, 74000 Annecy, France. And the most beautiful part
of Annecy is by far the lake! There are cool mountain places around
but I haven't explored that yet! And there are beautiful parts in the
city! You'll just have to come and take it all in for yourself
pictures don't do at justice at the beauty of this place.

But you don't need to do anything to serve me! But something I was
thinking about today was maybe you could send me a special Christmas
bread recipe or something that I can do out here for Christmas to give
to memebers or Amis or anyone. That would be super cool! And also one
more thing... When you and Brittany play Sleigh Ride next time, will
you film it and send it to me? I do t wanna miss out on ALL the
Christmas traditions at our house! Haha #ThankfulForiPads but that's
all the service I need. Thanks you so much for everything you do! I
love you all so much! And tell Nate I say hi! And if he wants me to
write him on his mission he better write me sometime soon. Haha I've
resorted to black mailing him I guess.

Love you!
