Misc. Happenings

This is a picture of us with the Magerotte's from Belgium at the Visitor's Center.
Last Wed. when we were at the Visitor's Center a couple from Belgium came in for a tour, they were really a great couple, their name was Magerotte. We told her we had a grandson on a mission in Belgium, French speaking. She said they go to the same bldg., but the French Branch meets after their Ward (or Branch, can't remember). They were so interesting, she spoke really good English and her husband didn't speak much. I asked if he understood what we were saying and he responded that he did, she said he didn't like to speak much English because of his strong accent. We asked how many languages she spoke and she said she couldn't even number them, she spoke many languages. I asked what brought them to the Historic Sites and she said she had given this to him for his Birthday present. They were going to go to all the sites here and across the country to Salt Lake City. She said she couldn't think of anything else he might enjoy, she didn't want to get him ANOTHER diamond because he works in diamonds.
She was so sweet and said she would be glad to take a letter to Jacob from us -- and that they would be home in about 2 weeks. We showed her Jacob's picture (the family picture) and she thought that was so wonderful. She said they would all be together for General Conf. soon so if she didn't see him before, she would find him then. They hiked up the Hill Cumorah and then came back and picked up the letter.


Palmyra had their annual "Canaltown Days" and had a couple of Parades. We missed the one in the morning, but saw the one in the afternoon. It was the "Horse Parade" and had 9 whole entries. These were 2 of them.
