Hey All!
Here we are in the romantic country of France! We are still in jet lag mode and entertaining a toddler full of energy, so we'll work on the romance a bit later! J And since this is Denise's pseudo-author, I can say things like that and get away with it!
While we can still remember some of the many blessings we have had along our journey, let me share about these amazing adventures with each of you!
Since our cultural training class in NC, we have flown to Seattle to visit with our supervisors and support team members. Now our brains are even more overloaded as we journey. The flight to France was great, left Charlotte at 430 and arrived in France 7 and a half hours later.
The time difference is 6 hours, so we landed just after 6am local time. Customs was a breeze, just a simple stamp in our passport, grab our bags, and we were on our way.
I was just telling a good friend of mine that we give up some comforts to be able to serve as missionaries, but along the way we meet some amazing people who become friends. Some of these friends and these blessings:
-A friend arranged for us to get a ride from the airport to our school. What a blessing! We hope to treat this man to a fast food meal in the near future (he is American and confessed he missed Wendy's from home...maybe we can find a burger king or kfc, which they do have.
A family staying here in language school invited us to dinner with their family our first night here so we wouldn't have to worry about cooking our first day.
We were able to go shopping with some students today at the African Market. They go every Friday after class.
A sweet 10 year old girl made us homemade chocolate chip cookies today to welcome us to class. Her and her dad brought them up to our apartment this afternoon.
Many times when I'm getting a little down, or wonder if God has called me to do what I am doing, these little confirmations come to me. It's as if God is speaking my love language to me to remind me of his provisions and faithfulness to me. These reminders make it
We successfully have made 2 shopping excursions and installed new sims cards on our phones.
Denise made chicken parmesan tonight for supper! Did I say how blessed I am?? Oh, opps, almost forgot I was writing this in first person. This should read, "Roy doesn't know how good he has it, that he was able to have chicken parm on his second night in France. He better pay up big time!"
Abby is doing well. She has a sand box outside and has loved filling up trucks and her shoes with sand. We met her teacher today, she will have 5 others in class with her.
We'll post pictures and more stories later this weekend. For now, let us go off to bed so we can get on our routines. Thanks for your encouragement and prayers! Please let us know if you have questions for us. We can answer those in later writings.
