First Preparation Day in France - and no blog post from Cathryn

Soeur Williams in France!
Well, we got a couple of small personal e-mails from Cathryn, where she just answered questions we'd asked in our e-mails.  According to her, she also wrote a big long letter (the one I have been posting and forwarding to people), but it wouldn't send and she was already out of time and was frustrated with her inability to send the e-mail.  So, she'll try again next week.  So we didn't get much detail on her first week in France from her, but I'll tell you what I can infer from her letter to me, and she did manage to send a few pictures.

First, she rides the buses and walks to get to all of her appointments.  No bikes.

Second, in her own words: "Companion in French is "collègue". You could just say "companion" but that means gay partner. And that would be bad."

Third, again I'll let her speak "Soeur Johns is awesome. She's really outgoing and knows pretty much everyone in our mission and almost everyone in the ward here....She talks a lot. Like, a lot. But that's totally okay with me. She's really caring and helps me feel a little less overwhelmed. "

Oh, and from her e-mail to her mom: "We'll probably go and see Mont St. Michel one of these P-Days, but not this one. We kind of got locked inside our own apartment. Long story, but the elders came and fixed it somehow. They don't even know how they did it. Anyway, we have a little less time than usual."  I guess that's why she ran short of time and couldn't get the long e-mail out this week.  Cross your fingers that they don't get locked in again on their next P-Day! :)
