We keep busy each week doing the work we came to do, some days are easier than others. This particular week, we both have been extremely busy. Me with the Finance department and logging Priesthood leadership travel throughout the area and Tony with keeping up with Visa issues through out Europe for our missionaries. Elder Thomas is leaving and until the Calls arrive on the 16th, Tony will be handling his work on top of his own. And, on top of this, Tony has come down with this horrible cold that has been spreading through all the missionaries, some sicker than others. One even ended up in the hospital. Mine lasted a week, which has been the case for most of the senior missionaries here. I hope Tony can shake this!
On Friday, Sister Lindsay arranged for a group of us to drive to Soufflenheim France (for lunch!) Actually, we went to go and visit some handmade pottery stores and also had lunch at a sweet little french cafe where they served crepes. We had a great day all together.
From left to right.....Carol Nelsen, Theresa Dewey, Dani Garrett, Marlene Lindsay and Karen Orlowski.
Although Jill Roberts didn't want her picture taken, I took it anyway. She has been a dear friend and we have gone on some wonderful excursions with she and Don. They will be leaving in April and we will miss them!
We were able to go into the back room where this potter was working and took some photos of him doing his craft. Very interesting!
Cute Marlene Lindsay showing off some of the things she liked in the shop as Dani Garrett looks on.
This was one of the cute shops that happened to be closed but I asked Carol Nelsen to stand there so I could get a photo!
Below is a photo of all eight of us. It was one of the coldest days we've seen here! BRRRRR!
At another store, we were once again able to go into the back room to watch the girls painting the pottery before it is fired. Very interesting! They did it so quickly!
This store below is where I bought my soup tureen in the next photo
We just couldn't pass up a French Bakery!
