Train Strikes in France....just a part of life.


Elder Lyman's email told about the adventures of the week:



Tuesday we had district meeting, for which we go to Poitiers, our district is us, La Rochelle, and Poitiers and Poitiers is the easiest for us all I guess. So we are here in the middle of nowhere far from everything so it takes a long time to get places and we have to get up way early for trains because there aren't a ton. So we woke up at like 5 and took a train a couple hours to Poitiers. It was our district meeting with the zone leaders and we did exchanges with them afterwards. So me and one of them came back to Limoges after district meeting. Generally exchanges are like 24 hours but since we're in France where they strike almost daily we got stuck here because of a train strike and they were a full couple of days, which was weird. Then we went to Poitiers Thursday to switch back, and again woke up at like 5. The travel took up more than half of that day.


Then yesterday we had interviews in Tours, so we again woke up at like 5 for a train. Then that train was cancelled and we took another one 8 minutes later, 8 minutes that made us just miss the connection we had to make to get to Tours. So we were stuck in the gare where we had to connect for an hour and a half or so after another train we needed to take got cancelled. We finally got a train to Tours and got there luckily right as things started, which we didn't think we'd be able to do. So that was our whole day yesterday and why we didn't have p-day.
