Garry & I took a nice walk in the morning. Followed by breakfast chez Dubrez. Fresh-tasting yogurt and Tresse bread with homemade jam were the fare. Then, since we were all dressed up and ready to go out, we drove to the hotel in Geneva for stake conference. Three women sang a version of "O Divine Redeemer" that brought us to tears. Such a beautiful and worshipful song really added to our Sunday meeting!
With our hearts still tender from the service, we went to visit the "Wall of the Reformers." It is a magnificent memorial to the great protestant reformers (Calvin, Knox, Roger Williams, Cromwell and others). Their larger than life statues in relief on the wall are a bold reminder of their bravery and accomplishments.
After a quick picture in the rain at the double home in Chambesy where the Geneva mission is headquartered and where it was headquartered in 1967-1970 when Dad served as assistant to the president, we returned to the Dubrez home for lunch and farewells.
In the evening, we arrived in France. Checked in to the hotel, we scouted out the town center, looked at our first French Cathedral, then took a satisfying dinner at a local pub. Several of us ordered savory crepes. Mine was filled with a mushroom cream sauce and topped with Swiss (Emantaler) cheese. Garry had a bacon and potato and cheese crepe.
The brief downpour before dinner didn't bother us in the least. And it was a cool clear saunter of about a mile and a half back to the hotel after dinner.
You are making me hungry! Lol...I wish I could be there with you all. Sounds so great!
