Highlights of the past week











This is the chateau Murol -   We passed it on the way to the church where Elder Burton was singing in a quartet.










Elder Burton and young elders were invited to participate in a choir performance in this beautiful old church in Saint Victor la Rivière.

A little sad history and some happier events


Oradou Sur Glane - a small French village where a terrible atrocity took place during World War II.  The entire population of the village was rounded up and either shot or burned to death by Nazi soldiers.  








In this Church in Oradou Sur Glane, over 300 women and childen were locked in and burned to death






 The entire village was then burned,  men were rounded up in 3 different locations and shot.




The ruins have been left as a memorial for all the tragedies that took place not only here but for other locations in France.





On a happier note. . . . . Service at the Canonici's
















A visit to the Puy de Dome






Visiting after Church on Sunday
