We had the opportunity recently to help out a couple that converted to the gospel in france (he was my father's voice student). They came here in Utah to go through the temple for the first time in the Bountiful Temple and then be sealed (they have been married for a while already). I got to be her escort the night before and acted in general as a translator (my father had stayed after our wedding in order to be there for their sealing). The number of people in attendance was small but there was a wonderful spirit in the sealing room. The sealer has a long history of involvement with my family: he was my aunt's mission president in belgium brussels mission, my mom's stake president when she first converted, and temple president when my parents were temple workers in DC--he also served his mission in France and speaks quite good French. He performed the ceremony in french and gave a wonderful talk before. It was a good day :)
