Here are a few pictures Janet has taken of the flowers and blossoms surrounding us:

Here are a few pictures of our dinner hosts and guests:
Dinner with Elder and Sister Kirkham |
Dinner at Elder and Sister Deladerriere's apartment |
Dinner with Elders Hayes and Elder Vincenzi |
We finally made it to the Chateau of Versailles, but it was really crowded with Asian tourists who had just arrived on several buses. We took dozens of pictures, but thought we'd share only three, all of which are well known: the Hall of Mirrors, Louis the XIV. and Napoleon.

The Paris Temple will be closed this coming Saturday for General Conference. We are looking forward to hearing inspiring messages from our prophet, the apostles, and other church leaders. We testify that they are men of God.
