Hoe to the end of the Row

ho, ho. ho,  or the beginning ot the Good byes .Starting this second week of July none of the Presidency in the Bishopric or Relief Society in our Geneva l Ward! is in town. The UN couple missionaries and us are in charge of our ward, Since Jim is on the High Council, we also have an assignment in another ward to speak in french, luckily they are at different times.It is necessary to wear many hats for these next couple of weeks. Jim is finishing painting with a family.   I continue to sort and pack.  and I get to help with various neighbors an their babies.(preparing to renew my skills with our  grandbabies).

When we prepared to  come on our mission we knew we would return back to all of our friends in the states,  But, this is different.  We know we may never see many of our new and dear friends here.

So,,this week we cleaned some more, but mostly we worked on our humanitarian project for Africa, And in the cleaning of our stuff, we added to the shipment.

Today is French Independence day and last night there were alot of fireworks, today most places are closed and it is Saturday, The french people take their vacations very seriously and dont worry as much about the income they are losing.!

But, we did make it to the Ferney Voltaire Marche.  We were told today by our UN missionaries who have lived abroad that this is the second ,next to New Zealand best Marche they have been to.  And we will miss it dearly, fresh fruit and vegetables from local and exotic places.

We are planning a Rondez vous Labor Day weekend in Draper, hoping to see family and friends in the SLC-Provo area.  We will send more info as we have it
