We stopped to take pictures in this picturesque little village. We were fascinated by the different colored houses.

On the way to Colmar, France in the Alsace Region

On the way to Colmar, we stopped to stretch our legs and saw some storks hoping to get some crumbs from some people having lunch. We also saw a replica of the Statue of Liberty and discovered that the sculptor was August Bartholdi and he was from Colmar.

Our last stop was the city of Colmar

On Saturday afternoon, August 1st, we drove on to Colmar where we walked and then took a train ride around the city. We had dinner there and then headed back home to Geneva.

Sunday evening at the Muller home.

Sunday evening, Aug. 2nd, the Mullers invited us and Elder and Sister Jones to come to their home for dinner. In the first picture, Sister Muller is showing us how to fold the napkins for the table. She is an amazing artist who paints on porcelain. Her husband, Cyril, is very intelligent and has written many articles for newspapers and for the Liahona. He is suffering from Parkinsons and has difficulty speaking so he can be understood.

Trip to the Swiss Temple for 18 departing elders and sisters

On August 5th, we helped drive 18 departing elders and sisters to the Swiss Temple in Zollikofen. The first two pictures were taken at the mission home as the vans and cars were loaded. The flags are flown over the fountain on the days when missionaries leave.

The last two pictures were taken at the Swiss temple with President and Sister Murdock and the departing missionaries. It was a gorgeous day and the grounds at the temple were beautiful.

Pictures taken at the Parc Téte D'Or in Lyon

Our new apartment in Lyon is just three and a half blocks from this beautiful park. We walk around the perimeter each morning that we are in Lyon. It is about three and a half miles. The flowers are so beautiful!. There is even a zoo but we have not seen any animals because there is a lot of construction going on this summer to update the zoo.
