Ready to leave for Paris France

          Dixie and I met Sister Alvine from Paris, France who just arrived at the MTC in Provo this week.  She will be serving a mission on Temple Square in Salt Lake City.  So if you see her there, stop and say Hi!  Sister Alvine was very active in Stake Young Singel Adult Program (Young Adult Center in Paris) and it is wonderful to see the fruits of the Young Single Adult program in France.  She joined the church 6 years ago in Lyon, France and moved to Paris about 4 years ago.  She is the only member of the church in her family for the present but I am sure she will see many people join the church through her enthusiasm.

          We have finished our training this week after spending 3 days in training with the Church Education System and are so excited to fly out on Monday November 12th for Paris.  We spent an enjoyable evening last night with our children but it was hard to say good bye.  We have been assured by several leaders that they will be watched over and blessed in our absence.
