So sorry I haven't updated in a while, things have been super busy around here. Last week was kind of a struggle because I was tired and the kids were having a rough week, but thankfully that passed and things are better again:) I still haven't really met any friends yet, but the ward I'm going to is really great and everyone is super nice. I already have a calling and I don't even think my records are there yet. I am a primary teacher, and I'm really excited about that! I met this woman who works for the UN and WOW, and she's basically awesome, so I want to start volunteering with her or something because she is doing so many great things for Women's rights all over the world. I'm uber jazzed about Rachel coming next week to stay with me! It will be nice to have someone to travel around with. I plan on taking her to the institute, which will be a first for the both of us. This truely is a beautiful country, and I love being able to explore it. The town of Nyon is quaint and well kept, and the more I get to explore it, the more I fall in love with it. I have gone down to the lake almost 3 times a week just to sit there and eat my lunch and write stuff and appreciate peace:) Yesterday there were some street musicians playing close to me and they were really good. One was playing the guitar and the other was on the accordian, they both had dreds and their sound almost reminded me of Gogol Bordello. I gave them 2 franks, because I read once that you should always reward street musicians. All in all it was a beautiful day and the lake was beautiful, and since it was balmy, there were waves that almost reminded me of the ocean.  I am so very lucky!  Here are some pictures:


This is the ferry that goes across the lake to France.



This is one of my charges, the oldest named Anna. She's cute, isn't she:)



So this is super wierd. This is the parking lot in our church building, and as you can see, the parking spaces are covered in grass. Below is a better picture.

Yeah, that's right. The swiss park on the grass. And this isn't the only place I've seen this. It's really pretty, but I bet the upkeep is a beast. I wish I had an explaination for this, but I don't. It's funny though:)

So that's about all for now, but I'll try and be better at posting in the future! Peace and blessings.
