This is our French Baker making a cake from scratchWe received these pictures this last week. Tonight I received a call from a Sister Steenblik from the Salt Lake area, she and her husband have just returned from France from a vacation. Brother Steenblik served in Toulouse France many years ago and they had finally made a trip there. They attended church in the ward where Jenni is serving and they called to report that she is happy and healthy and doing well.
I know you don't know me, but I served in Toulouse from February 2005-2009. I was Googling some information about Toulouse and found this blog. I hope it's okay that I'm re-living my missionary experiences via your blog! I never served in Nice, but I served in Cannes, which meant I was on exchanges often in Nice and stayed in the apartment your daughter/sister is living in right now. It's old but beautiful! I know many of the members. What a great place for her to begin. I don't mind if you contact me, and hope it's okay if I keep reading about Soeur Lake's experiences. I also know Soeur Call from BYU-I.
