Family fun, revisits and service






This week, we celebrated May 1 by doing some spring cleaning before Karina and Dan came to visit,  They flew into London and visited for a few days then into Geneva on Thursday,  Since holidays are a REALLY big deal here in France, we had an easier week at the Institute.  We are almost finished teaching our New Testament class.  I will be sad, as I have loved preparing and doing in detail research.  Friday we took the "Kids" to the classic visits of the Hills of Switzerland, the Cailler and Chillon,  Saturday is never complete without the visit to our local Marche . We had alot of fruit sec (dried fruit), Pain (bread), African food, and many fun different tastes. ; In the afternoon we went to Yvoire, France, a medieval town on Lake Geneve.  The day was perfect, with sail boats on the lake and a big beautiful rainbow. In the evening we had an African Evening, learning and honoring,Burkina Faso.  The ambassador of Burkina Faso received the Book of Mormon in a delightful ceremony..Sunday we enjoyed testimony meeting with our usual wide diversity of people attending and bearing testimony, After we went to Annesy France and visited three different churches, and strolled through the city with beautiful flowers and water running around and through the city. We ended the week with three baptisms from our Spanish branch. The Spanish baptism had talks in both Spanish and Portuguese, both  alot of them know French. Lucky us And Lucky Karina and Dan as they have gotten to use their Spanish every day
