While we did do some sightseeing and travel (more on that later) I spent a lot of time in Shaelagh & Jeremiah's new home, getting ready for them to move in. Their former rental home was temporary, (the home of missionaries on home assignment) so they needed to move to their own place. This involved the installation of flooring, wallpaper, paint, and a lot of Ikea furniture assembly. Annalise helped out!
We got to attend church with Shaelagh & Jeremiah and see a few of the "pretty places" near their home. They live in a nice area with lots of trees and green space, even though it is city and is pretty densely populated. We ate lots of good French bread and quite a few pastries. It was a good thing that there was physical labor to do, or I might have gained a lot of weight.
We took a long weekend to go to Greater Europe Mission's Camp of the Peaks in the French Alps. Our good friends, Lynn and Rose Lindquist work there, and have worked there for years. It was good to see them again and to introduce Jeremiah and Annalise to the French Alps. They were both impressed.
Annalise especially liked the tunnels.
It was nice to get away from the work for a while. Shaelagh and Jeremiah hadn't really had any opportunity to travel away from the Paris area for more than a day since their arrival in September.
