Elder and Sister Edwards

Elder and Sister Canfield from Instanbul came to train us, Monday June 25 and Tuesday Monday June 26.  They are orginally from Las Vegas, Nevada.  We spent two days with them; they gave us valuable counsel and direction about our service here.  We are very grateful to them and feel much better about venturing forth!

While they were here, we would work diligently (sort of) for a few hours and then walk down the hill from our apartment to have lunch or dinner at a nearby sidewalk restaruant.  These restaruants are lovely with hanging flower baskets everywhere and linen table clothes and napkins.  The food was soooo good.  My fear of being on a mission with food I wasn't use to is not a concern any longer (except when I cook).  The frest fruits and vegetables are so flavorable and abundant. 

The Canfields related story after story of the missionary work in Turkey. It was a very wonderful two days.  

This is the Mosque next door to us.  This is looking out our bedroom window. We live on the third floor so we actually look down on the roof of their home.
