Your Mrs. France, Ester Françoise Sampson, joyfully married Chris
Sampson on September 2022 and was sealed to him for time and
eternity. With him, she became a Mrs. |
|
She was born in Italy, Trieste, from an Italian father and a
French mother. Her family moved to France when she was seven
years old and lived there most of her life. She learned both
Italian and French from her parents and inherited both
citizenships. |
|
Some of Mrs. France's fondest childhood memories involve her
Father spending time with her at night when she was frightened.
Her Dad would tell her stories, laugh with her, tuck her in bed,
and pray over her that she would know that Heavenly Father always
watches over her. Ester would also listen to her Mother telling
the stories of Jesus at her bedside. Ester would say... “Mom, I
miss Jesus, why doesn’t He come and take me on His knees as He
did with the little children when He was in Galilee? Surely, He
would love it as much as I would.” When done with stories, Ester
would ask her Mom to come back and tell her another one. |
|
Mrs. France never forgets eating the incomparable, fresh
mozzarella in Naples when visiting her Grandmother there, and
just being with her when her Grandma cooked wonderfully fragrant
Parmiggiana di Melanzane. While living in France, Ester would
also go to the library with her Mother to immerse herself in
beautiful books and delight in the calm and rich atmosphere found
therein. |

Mrs. France loves singing baroque and jazz music, has a very
curious and inquisitive mind, and thrives in meaningful and deep
human relationships. As a single woman, Ester Baruffini had many
growing experiences, such as practicing and graduating in music
theory, playing saxophone, and singing lyrical Baroque music at a
French Conservatoire; mastering Mathematics, studying Physics and
Chemistry at the Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Écoles in
France; enjoying the Scriptures in Seminary; volunteering by
gardening weekly for her elderly neighbor who became a true
friend and by successfully tutoring a fellow high-school student
in Mathematics who had lost hope; and saving a stray cat by
performing a medical operation with her own hands when she was
eleven years-old because she had no money to bring him to the
veterinarian. Ester also obtained two Master’s degrees in
Mathematics, and then won a national competitive exam in that
subject in France. |
|
She has also failed, been stuck in trials, and known human
sorrows and weakness. As Dr. Seuss explains...
"OH! THE PLACES YOU’LL GO!
You’ll be on your way up!
You’ll be seeing great sights!
You’ll join the high fliers,
Who soar to high heights,
Except when you don’t,
Because, sometimes, you won’t.
And the chances are, then,
That you’ll be in a Slump,
And when you’re in a Slump,
You’re not in for much fun." |

Currently, your Mrs. France is completing a PhD at Brigham Young
University in Educational Inquiry, Measurement and Evaluation
where she is writing a dissertation on Local Item Dependency of a
Situational Judgment Test in a Medical School using statistical
methods such as Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Exploratory
Structural Equation Modeling. |

And now that she is married her life has taken a profound turn in
that her desires are changing. For long stretches of her life,
Ester has prepared her spirit and mind in many formal ways. But
in anticipation of bearing and caring for children and her own
family, she took a semester off to work full-time to build her
physical talents. For instance, it was not beneath Mrs. France to
recently take a full-time janitorial position, solely to build
the gift of her body. In doing so, Ester deserted her office and
computer to walk, sweep, mop, and set-up chairs and tables for
eight hours a day. And now, she is taking much time to exercise
while writing her dissertation. She looks forward to being a
mother, creating a loving family with her husband, and even
adopting additional children. Furthermore, the heart of Mrs.
France has a great interest in nurturing not only the
intellectual and spiritual, but also the physical development of
all of God’s children. |
|
Your Mrs. France's considerable, personal, spiritual, and
intellectual development is now leading her to discern many
possibilities that this world offers to do good and become
better--including our improvement in physical ways. Mrs. Ester
Baruffini Sampson knows that the physical, intellectual,
spiritual and emotional are all interconnected. Dietrich
Bonhoeffer, who resisted Hitler’s regime, said..."Human beings
were taken from the earth and don't just consist of thin air and
thoughts.... God wants to see human beings, not ghosts who shun
the world." |
