Do You Speak French?
Welcome to my missionary blog! My husband and I have been called to serve in the Barbados Bridgetown Mission of the Guadeloupe French Speaking Region in the Caribbean. On January 12, 2016 we left our home in beautiful Western North Carolina for beautiful snowy Provo, Utah. For three months we have been studying on-line with LDS French tutors, and now, we have just finished two and a half days of French language immersion training at an extension of the Missionary Training Center. Today we will go into the MTC itself for a week of general missionary training using the book, Preach My Gospel. I am so excited to be here so close to Brigham Young University where I earned a degree in French about forty years ago. I feel blessed to have come full circle to re-learn and be able to finally use this language which I love so much to testify of our Savior and his restored gospel.

ReplyDeleteHow exciting, LaWren! I didn't know you earned a degree in French. French is the ONLY foreign language in my life and I mean that in the most minimalistic sense. I took two semesters of it in college. :) I'm very, very proud of you and Wally going on this mission! Bon Chance!
