Mason's first area conincidently includes Lille, France where he has spent a great deal of time in the last few years. Our sweet friends, Fam. Toulemonde, live there and Mason has been in contact with them. This tremendous family became part of our own when their son, Clem was an exchange student in our home in 2003. We have since visited back and forth many times and count them among our closest friends. We love them and I am so grateful to have them nearby as Mason is beginning his mission experience in France. :)
Following is a brief e-mail I receieved from Clem on December 27th. :)
Hello,
First congrats for your engagement ! I'm really happy for you!
Also, I just had lunch with your son and one of his Elder.
He contacted me through Gmail, and I invited him for lunch with his elder.
It was so great seing him again! He looks in really good shape and happy. He really gained in maturity and wisdom.
He got the chance to meet the whole family, with the latest addition (Octave).
Anyway, I hope you are doing well!
