Here are the four ladies at this evening's Crêpes snack.
From left to right:
1. Sister Simone Venet
2. Sister Alice Giauque
3. Sister Jubault
4. Sister Tavella.
These are André and ??? Jubault, from Rennes,
in Bretagne (Western France). They hosted the
crêpes snack.
These are Daniel and Simone Venet, from Lyons.
He's quite a "funny guy" even though I don't
think he intends to be. It's just that he scurries
about quite often. His wife is sensitive and worried
that he's not "the way he should be."
Wonderful people! Great spirit.
Roberto and Jeanine Tavella. He has a heavy "southern
French" accent. Was born in Venice, Italy, but raised
in France. He has had lots of experience in the Church,
and tells a lot about his experiences. They are
fascinating. He was bishop of a singles ward in Paris
(27 different nationalities), counselor to a Mission
President in Geneva, a district president in Southern
France and a mission president himself in Kinshasha
(capital of Zaire (Belgian Congo)) in Africa. An engineer
by profession, he's been involved with construction,
particularly of chapels in Europe. He considers
American and Canadian construction work "inexpensive
in appearance, but expensive because the quality is not
good. . .too much wood, not solid enough." He was
amazed, of course, to learn that there was a stake in
a town of 2500 people in southern Alberta. It was he
who organized the Sacrament Mtg. we held earlier
today. I'm very impressed with this man.
There are more, but I don't have pictures of them yet.
