Greetings from France!







We are grateful to be here and are truly enjoying our fast-paced visit. (With the special banquet tonight, life has been somewhat of a blur around this household trying to get ready for it.)

Many faces are new to us since our last visit. With the student population being such an integral part of the church here, the group turns over pretty quickly. We have been able to renew some old contacts, however, and look forward to seeing more people we knew in the past this Sunday. Mom Bixby asked me to give a short testimony in a ladies meeting yesterday, and I was able to testify of the Lord's goodness to us during the five years since we were last here, specifically through His leading us to CPBC. I was able to begin in French, and then switched to English (using a translator) to finish up and make sure I was understood! :-)

Wednesday afternoon we escaped for a brief visit to the nearby 12th-century village St. Emilion. Please pray for Tim as he will be preaching tonight for the Repas Agape (valentine's banquet) where we are expecting around 60 college students, probably 2/3 of which will be the first-time, unsaved visitors of the regular church students.

We will remember to keep you in our prayers - especially Tim! Great pictures. It is good to see our neice from Jennie's side of the family too! Looks like you all are having a good time.

Jennie, You're right about Grandma babysitting the kids! We're enjoying the added parental freedom we're having as residents at Grandma and Papa's house. :-)
