Zone Conference, Activities, Caen & cows!

Here's a portion of Elder Lyman's email from June 15th

So as for this week, it was ok. It was still slow but we were out of Cherbourg a lot so that actually is kind of good from time to time. We had zone conference Thursday in Paris and had to stay Wednesday night in Caen to get there on time. Zone conference was good as always. We found out we'll be changing things up a lot and won't have zone conference each transfer anymore but once every three months. Interviews with President will be the same. That probably doesn't mean much to you but it'll change things. Anyways that night we ended up having to stay in Caen again after zone conference before coming back the next day. Then Saturday morning we went to Caen again for an activity with our zone. It was a finding activity where the whole zone did exchanges with members and did various finding things like contacting, knocking doors and other things that you wouldn't know what they were. It was cool having a normal member as a companion, and I got paired up with a guy that I had met before and is way cool. Anyways after that and some other meetings and stuff in Caen we went home. Our train had problems on the way back and it took like an hour and a half longer than it should have, much of that time was just sitting in the train in the middle of nowhere looking at cows. Then Sunday morning we again went to Caen because it was district conference. The conference was a broadcast from Salt Lake and Elder Bednar, President Packer and others spoke, it was good. So we were gone like 3 entire days this week.
