Elder Hallstrom and Eldet Teixeira from 70's Europe
we had a feast of great talks with Elder Hallstrom and Elder Teixeira of the area 70 for Europe (I think) Elder Hallstrom told how he being raised in Hawaii has met every Prophet since Geroge Albert Smith who he met at 1 year old and had picture taken with him. He helped Spencer W. Kimbell when he came to Hawaii and became his personal assistant. Elder Hallstrom is a tall, large,nordic looking man, much like my father and we remember Pres. Kimbell as being rather short, After Pres. Kimbell left he re read his biography and always felt so close to him and would to anything for him. Later he pondered how much he had grown to love him and wanted to serve him after he had gotten to know him so well. Later he thought, as he studied the Sauvoir, and pondered that he , too should know HIM AS WELL and serve Him, just the way he had been a personal assistant to the Prophet, he, too, should serve the Lord and know Him, So he started studing the New |Testament more and learning more about Jesus Christ. Elder Teixeira and his wife, I adore, She is Portugese and they served togetehr in San Pao, Brazil. She speaks cute English and spoke of marriage, quoting from the Old testiment about Adam and Eve, LEAVE, CLEAVE AND BECOME ONE, She is a painter and she said as she is making some work form her sons wedding, She spoke of the art and had yellow and blue, two beautiful colors, together, combined become green as one, just as beautful. We had enjoyed the spirit and look forward to more spiritual feasts,

No picture, just look for fear in Jim's eyes
We have probably crossed back and forth Swiss and France,almost 1,000 times. We have a sticker on our car that makes it easier to go back and forth, Until, last week, Late at night, returning from the Institute, Jim drove through the duane rather agressively. Out came a large, loud Swiss guard speaking something else besides french. Jim said
everywhere we go,even Yverdon Jim finds the old and new
Yverdon Switzerland sits on the water and is famous for hot springs. We never got there but we did have a great turn out for our Valentines Bal, with YSA traveling from all over Europe.
Dr. cousin Frank and Lenny Hatch come to visit
show details Feb 14 |
Yes, they celebrate this holiday I dont know how yet but SAINT VALENTINE is, I think, is a Catholic saint and France is very Catholic. We had a bonne weekend with the YSA Bal .Yverdon is a beautiful ville, The swans are so friendly when we frist got to the lac, I was afraid they would bite me, After we went to the main,centre square and apres the old ville which dates to 1411 when the Gauls found hot springs running here, |We didnt go to the springs as we needed to go help at the bal. There were YSA from all over Europe. Saturday we got the visit with Dr. Frank Hatch and Lenny (his wife), Frank is Jim/s cousin and one of my dance teachers from BYU in 1967, He says he remembers me ! HA! that could be good or bad! When he saw me, he said SO, that is how little Patty turned out! Yes, I am big Pat now! He and Lenny live in Germany part of the year and sometimes in Cancun, Their business is in knesthtic movement, focusing on the elderly, ao they practiced on Jim!. Very interesting to me. They came over for Crepes Sunday morning then took the tram back. Oh, one more intersting thing, one friday morning I had my first yoga class with two French girls, one translates for the church (Sarah) and one is Eliane (my amie), and while teaching I was using french language trying to find to find the Sanscrit word in Yoga, my brain got all the French inside and all the Yoga language got all twisted, I know that is not surprising to some of you, but, I think it is kind of cool because I am always answering in French now, thus some of the French words /mixed into this email, mais, but, still typing on a french keyboard, so still beaucoup de miss takes. This week I have 3 comig for yoga, so soon we will need to go to the Eglise (church)
4 baptisms and beautiful finds
This weekend was full to exciting things. First we had our first dance class, which they set up .I taught swing and Lieitia taught cha cha. Seven o clock 3 girls. 7>305 girls,.finally one boy, so we start. The swing is easy, changing partners. Finally we had an equal group and we left five mintues after that because we had a big day on Sat planned with the Seniors. Good news, three non members came to the dance! Then Sat, before light we left fot the International Ballon festible in Chateau-d.oeux. It was a 2 hour drive passed many beautiful vinyards and chateaus. all in Switzerland Chateau de Chillon which was a dungeon, castle Lord Byron written about and Dan put on my computer front). Then Sunday, the best.
