Does anyone have any information on Monsieur Ewanda. Blois was my last ville before going home in 1995, and we had a commitment for baptism from this incredibly intelligent man, who appeared to be an African albino, educated in England and Germany. Any information?

As a Blois-lover, I had to respond, though I don't have really recent info. As of 2000, the Blois branch was going strong and had baptised some new members. I have no doubt that they are still going strong. And according to the church website, they are still meeting in the office/apartment near the gare. However, there are no more missionaries in the little apartment on Rampes Grain d'Or...the little dead end street where all the cute little old ladies would try to mother us. I met a missionary from the Paris mission who closed the apartment when he was the greffier.

The Blois chapel was moved in 1998 from the little old house across the river to a space on the ground floor of an apartment/office complex just on the right as you cross over the train tracks away from the train station.

Well, as far as Blois is concerned, I don't know what's going up. The France Bordeaux Mission was consolidated on July 1, 2001. Most everything north of Bordeaux went to the Paris Mission and most everything from Bordeaux south went to the newly formed Toulouse Mission (which also included the old Marseille Mission).
As far as the missionary work, I heard reports from my good friend (Elder Nikolaus - became Bordeaux AP embassador for Paris) when the merger happened. He said the work was exploding since the change. Since then, the number of missionaries in France has drastically decreased. Where as before a branch might have 4-8 missionaries, now there is only 2-4 missionaries. This has actually been a great blessing. A good friend of mine recently returned from the Paris Mission and her report of how the work is going truly blows me away. I know this is truly the Lord's work.
Sorry I don't know anything on Blois. Hope you enjoyed the brief and condensed history of the last 4 some years in France.

I was there for that beating in Blois. The guy was probably too drunk to know he was being pummeled.
Has the branch really died. If so, that would be too bad.
For that matter, has the entire Bordeaux mission been dissolved?
Thanks for any info you have.

Greetings all. I just returned from a fun trip to Paris with the wife. We took a day trip to good ol' Blois where I served a few good months, and noticed that the old chapel is now a residence (well, it probably was to begin with anyway). I was just wondering if the church has left town, or maybe just relocated...anyone know what became of the few good members in the area? As I recall, the last time I was there (1998) I saw a couple of sister missionaries, so I figure sometime between then and now maybe membership had dwindled too low or something. Just checking to see if anyone knows the scoop. If it's closed to missionary work, well, that's too bad because it's a great little town, and I have many fond memories of my time there, including that of Elder (name withheld to protect the guilty) beating the CRAP out of that guy who stole my bike. Ha ha! Great times in Blois.

Hi All...
i'm wondering how all of you are...just finished school and I feel like I have a breather to think about the past. I am wondering if anyone knows the contact information for a member from La Roche Sur Yon. Her name is Anne Chauffour. If any of you know her phone number /email address, that would be much appreciated.
Would love to hear from anyone too!
thanks,
Andre

Hey,
Just wondering if anyone has any news from Joelle Paul. She was baptized in Nantes by Elder Carlton in 1999. Just trying to find out what she's been up to and if anyone has a current email address.
Thanks
