Getting Joe from his mission in Paris

THE DAY finally came when we were able to take a train out to the mission home and get Joe. It was SO awesome. We got to meet Sister Poznanski, President Poznanski, and another missionary & his family going home (Elder Ellis).

This is the Mission Home:

We had such a great day with Joe as he showed us around Paris.

There's nothing better than having someone who knows the language be your tour guide!

Yea, I know, it's been a little over a month since I've been back from Europe. And, I'm just now getting to update my blog.
