Hello My Lovely Family!

We got calls from President and i am in Lyon! No longer a sister training leader, but i am working in the Portes Des Alpes ward. Last Month They split the three wards here in lyon and added a fourth. I was and am so sad to have left Annemasse, so many people became my family there, but I am so excited for the chance to work here in Lyon! My new companion is Sister De Oliviera Rossales, she is from Canada.

Steeve was baptized yesterday!!! It was such an amazing day. He was so happy!! It was actually probably one of the most stressful days of mine and souer stevens lives haha, but it turned out perfect! We gave talks in sacrament and then had the baptism right after church. Frere Coquio Baptized Steeve and is just so good to him and loves him so much. Frere Coquios voice shook with emotion as he said Steeves name and the baptismal prayer. He hugged him so big qnd they were both smiling ear to ear. Steeve is a hanged man! There is no way to express the joy that we experienced!  I love God for having given me the  opportunity to witness this special day. After the baptism there was a big party where sister Sevens and i ran around like chickens with their heads cut off making sure food was out and drinks and what not! Everyone was so happy, it was such a sucess. We had 5 amis there and they all really enjoyed it! Last Friday when i told Steeve and the boys i had to leave on monday they were so sad, we all cried a little bit, they have really just become my family, I got to be there from the begining and see them become hqppier qnd stronger as a family and it is only going to get better! I  will love them forever!!

This past week we had 2 FHEs one with the family coppel, and another with the Foltz family!
I am going to miss these families so much, they are such good examples and have been so good to me! On thursday night we had a movie night where we bought a bunch of dominos pizza(there are so many funny french versions haha, with wierd cheeses) and watched Joseph Smith Prophet of the Restoration with our amis and a couple members. It was so much fun, the spirit is so strong everytime we watch that film with our amis! When Frere and Soeur Coquio found out i was leaving they took us to Chamonix, a darling ville to visit a less active family and then to get ice cream! They are so great, they have served the missionnaries so much as i have been here and they find so much happiness in it. They are the best most giving people i have ever met, i love them so much. Annemasse has been so much fun; i am going to miss it! Here it goes Lyon; i cant wait to see what lies ahead! I love you all so much and am so grateful for all you do. I know this Church is true. I know that Jesus Christ Is our Savior. I know that the Book of Mormon truly testifies of him, from studying it my love for Him has grown along with my desire to follow Him. President Roney just announced that Elder Niel L. Andersen will be coming to our mission the 10th of June. He will be coming to Nice to talk to us and the entire mission is going! Over 250 missionarys! We are so lucky!! I love you! Have a great week!

Love Sister Kupfer!
