This morning we had to say goodbye to Steph and Andrew, as they were flying out a day before everyone else. We grabbed breakfast at... you guessed it! A boulangerie :). We drove to Versailles and walked through the Chateau and gardens there. I still remember this from when I was little. Especially all the gold.
For lunch we met with a guy from Tim's mission who is a less active Tim had been working with. He was in Paris and Tim wanted to introduce us so we met him. His name was Kenny too! :) We also got to drive over and see the temple site. It's so cool to see a temple under construction right there in Paris. What a blessing that will be. Then we drove over to the Notre Dame Cathedral and went in. We got to sit there and listen for a little bit as they started mass. The woman singing had the most beautiful, clear voice. It was cool, but we didn't stay for all of it. Then we had to go back into the traffic! We stopped at the grocery store, and then went to our old friend's house, Jody Jones. They were in our ward when we lived there, and they're still there today! They raised their kids there and everything. Amazing. We had a wonderful evening there. Jody is hilarious and makes her home so warm and inviting. She fed us using a raclette, which is the coolest dinner party invention ever. We got one for my mom for her birthday this year we all loved it so much. I want one too! It was great to be in their home and see how much good and service they do there still. We got back to the hotel and got to "see" our kids for a bit on face time. Thank goodness for technology and Wifi!!! :) We chatted with my family for a bit and then said goodbye to them. They were flying out several hours before us and we didn't want to get up at 3 a.m. to see them off :).
