With the help of Elder and Sister Graff we completed two quilts for a project for refuge children, Our Mongolian friends had fun and we learned (sad to say) that quilting is not a skill that is learned in France/Switzerland. We plan on doing more with this project. Last week we visit CERN which is a very famous underground project shared by many European Nations. It was started more than 50 years ago after WW ll as a project to study matter and anti matter and in the process they invented the world wide web (that is the simple explanation I can give, you can find more info on line.) Along with the Red Cross and UN. this is what make where we live very famous. CERN, or in French, 'Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire' (European Council for Nuclear Research,http://www.cern.ch/) ~ the largest international collaboration in the world., This facility hosts a huge particle accelerator 100m underground: the Large Hadron Collider, a 27km tunnel where physicists recreate the Big Bang conditions by smashing protons together head-on at nearly the speed of light. As you can well image, Jim had a blast and of course I loved visiting with people from everywhere. And then today we went with 2 missionary couples to the Headquarters of the Olympics which is centered in Lausanne Switzerland.. We look forward to two more baptismes of our Mongolian friends,,,and talk of making a unit. WOW are we blessed. As you may be able to tell from the photo on the blog, the crutch is becoming a crutch so we re kicking the habit . We are enjoying our intense study of the Book of Mormon, in keeping with our New Years Resolution.
