It's hard to believe that my time in France is coming to an end. I'm watching the sand run right through the hourglass. In all honesty, the memories have been many and the regrets few. And the great thing is that I still have 2 weeks to enjoy.
Recently, we've been spending our time with our church friends. We get together several times a week to eat, play volleyball, or just spend time together. Last Thursday we had a church outing for the Grace Brethren churches in France. There were about 5 churches represented and about 150 people (I actually just made that up, I have no idea how many people were there). The young people went down the night before so that we would have time to set up and practice music. It's always awesome to play with talented people. Needless to say, it was an excellent time of fellowship and worship. Elizabeth and I had the privilege of meeting the missionary couple that will be the "Missionaries in Residence" at Grace next year. An older couple named the Hoberts who have been in France for over thirty years and are very dynamic people. This event was held at the Château de St. Albain which belongs to the GB church, and it is also where our French Professor, Jacqueline Schram, grew up. I also spent a large portion of the afternoon playing soccer with the young people. So, it was a special experience for Elizabeth and I on many levels.
And as if there wasn't enough excitement, Elizabeth's sister, Natalie came on Saturday to spend a week here in Dijon. We both went to Paris to get her, and had a great time seeing a little of Paris before our train headed back. Also this week, we have the bulk of our exams, so if we don't seem to be connected to the cyber world, don't be scared.
