On Thursday, Feb. 12, a few of us went to Zurich to hear Elder
Bednar speak. He had been in southern Germany on his mission,
and we were afraid he might speak in German. But although he
made a few jokes at the beginning about that (in German), he
gave most of his talk in English, and then it was translated
(translated very well!). We arrived in Zurich before dark
because we wanted to see a little of it. Zurich is located at a
point where a river flows into a lake. Behind us is the lake. On
my right, below, are Sis. and Bro. Di San Sebastiano. Alice is
wearing a "fur cap," she bought at Salvation Army for $3 (but
it looks like it cost $30!). To her left is Maria Sacco. We are
all temple workers.

This is kinda the same picture, except next to Maria Sacco is
Sis. Berz, a native Dutch, who went to the States, lived there
10 years, married a Swiss German who was also living there,
and then returned to Switzerland. He never joined the Church,
but she did, and now works full time at the temple. She plans
to move from near Zurich to an apartment within 5 minutes of
the temple. We think she will be willing to "put up" one or two
of our visitors (if they come) for one or two nights. (If, that is,
she gets moved over here to Zollikofen before April 1, about 5
weeks from now.) BTW, a young lady came by on the bridge
and offered to take or picture, so Sis. Berz handed her our
camera (gulp!). She took our picture, and I asked her if she
were a turist. "Yes," she said in English. "Hey," I said "where
are you from?" "Argentina" she replied!! (as she handed
the camera back to me! (Wow! what a story!)


Picture of the lake without us standing in front
of it. Gray, overcast day. It must be pretty on
a sunny summer day.

Same picture, but 60 degrees further to the right,
looking "southwest," I think. Stacy might know,
because maybe she's been here!

Some of the food for our Valentine's Day / Carnaval / Mardi Gras
celebration held last night, Mon. Feb. 23. (To be continued
in next blog. . . so keep scrolling down, and then look at the next
new blog.)
