So no new pictures this post, but I just wanted to write to say that Marnie and I made it to Troyes this evening. I started the morning out lugging heavy luggage through Caen to the gare in order to make it to the trains on time. We tried to take the bus, but we had trouble finding the correct stop for the replacement tram buses; since, of course, the buses didn't go to the train station!! AHHH!!! Sometimes France can be a real pain! We made it on the train, but the real fun came when we had to drag our luggage through Paris. Let's just say that I have a greater appreciation to all those Elders who served in our mission who had to drag all of their stuff through those hot, sticky, crowded metros!!! My arms are still tired! So we made it to the gare and made it safely to Troyes, but we still had to get the member's house. That wasn't so bad. We actually found the sister missionaries at the bus stop and asked them how to get to a certain place. What a blessing! They had been talking to this one woman, and then after exchanging numbers, they took off. I caught them before they got too far so that they could help us, but I'm convinced they were guided by the spirit to talk to that woman so that they could be there when we arrived...Funny thing, however, the family's son was actually waiting at the gare for us. Oops. Oh well; good thing he had a cell phone; because by the time we got the house, he was still waiting for us at the gare! We called him toute de suite, and he came home. We just finished our dinner with them; fried plantains, chicken, and baguette. Yummy african food. Very good and very greasy. Good thing we worked out all day carrying heavy luggage all around freakin' France!
