Last full day in Turkey---Sunday!

 Our last day in Turkey was a Sunday!    Kara sang a solo and did a beautiful job.  Kara, Coby and I spoke in church too.  Our topic was families.   It was interesting to speak with someone interpreting everything I said. I struggled with knowing when to pause.   They had three sets of young missionaries that served in their branch and then they had two older couples who also served there. 

   I took pictures of the missionary couples and the missionaries.   I had fun talking to all of them as Coby was serving as the Missionary leader and knew them all pretty well.   After the three hour block was over they had a cookie day where everyone stayed and visited.  It was soooooo fun.  It was a pay day being a mom.  So many people were bragging about my son and saying how great he was an how much he had helped the branch members.  It was so rewarding. 

 After church was over we changed our clothes as we were going to walk around. We walked around all over that area and finally we settled on a place to eat dinner. 

 We went to this yummy Italian restaurant that was authentic  Italian food. We loved it.  We found out this restaurant is located throughout the world, but not close to where we lived. 

 

Then we walked home and took all the fun ways home for our transportation.   (Honestly, I just don't remember the way we went home).  We went back to his apartment and started packing and getting sad about leaving to go home.  We needed to leave to go home at around 4 am.  The flight to Istanbul and back was very nice.  We stopped in Paris both ways.  We kind of put our feet on the ground when we went from the airport to the subway, but that was about all we saw of Paris.  When we were landing and leaving we did get to see some of the sites in Paris. It just made us want to come back to Paris!
