Ha-ha, Hardy Har-har!!!

If "the earth laughs in flowers" as Ralph Waldo Emerson believes, then Switzerland has a great sense of humor. The flowers here are AMAZING!!! The photos don't do them justice but we will try to share them with you anyway.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

This beautiful photo, captured by our Temple President on Monday, April 23 at about 7pm, give thought-provoking meaning to these lyrics: "Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue. And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true."

The Strangest Swiss Stroll Yet (!Viewer discretion advised!)

We were shopping last P-day at a nearby mall and noticed an odd shaped structure on display. The closer we got, the more curious we became. Can you tell what it is?

A Surprising Blessing

Meet the enthusiastic students who attend English class every Tuesday and Thursday night. They are the surprise blessing! What a privilege it is to try to help them increase their understanding of the English language. They are patient with our teaching efforts. Their goal is to better serve temple patrons and to be able to understand the written and spoken words of the prophets and apostles.  
Four couples, the Fouchers, Brenders, Rouffets and Karsentys, are from France. Sister Botta is our only student from Italy. We love them and are so proud of their hard work and dedication to learning.

The End....Amen!

The formal end of a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is to speak, or give a talk, in Sacrament Meeting to a gathe...
