Today when we left our Etap at Issy and headed to church in the city it was bright and sunny. Therefore, none of us had our rain jackets or our umbrellas. Why would we need them? By the time we got off the metro in the city and needed to walk the rest of the way to church... it had turned into a torrential downpour outside! I wish I would have taken a picture of us all huddled together at the bottom of the stairs in the metro station. It was literally screaming thunder outside. Martha screamed. It was awesome. We waited for as long as we could, the rain calmed down a little, and then we bravely went out into the rain and RAN to church. Literally. I think I was laughing the whole time.
The Paris ward is in a beautiful period building near Le Hotel Ville in Paris. There were so many English speaking visitors there that we had our own English speaking Sunday School and our own room and translator for Sacrament meeting. I am so grateful for all the wonderful people that have translated for us each Sunday. Greek, Italian, German, Dutch, French... all to understandable English. Thank you, thank you!
The absolute highlight of my day was running into my sweet friend and current Sister missionary, Katy Lund. Katy and I were on my first London Study Abroad program in Fall 2007. It was so great to see her! And thanks to her... we had Relief Society translated. Good luck on the rest of your mission Kate! (I mean Sister Lund!)
On the way home from church I sadly had the WORST allergy attack ever. I couldn't breathe by the time we made it back to Issy. So the rest of my day included Benedryl and the coma it produces. As much as I love Europe, I think I am allergic to it.
Tomorrow morning we head to Chartes!
Katie, you are not allergic to Europe. Don't ever, ever say that! Your allergies would have been just the same if you had been here. I don't have nearly as bad a time with seasonal allergies as you do, but mine have been worse this year that ever before!
ReplyDeleteHow neat to see one of your friends from London 2007! I think Paris would be a tough mission. I don't imagine the French are very easy to convert!
Let me guess, Mom, saying you're allergic to Europe is about like saying you don't like Saks, right?!
