Yes, thats me, the painter in Paris-- Summer and I spent today... painting! Not a work of art mind you, but a house! Who would have thought that my brief work at Landmark would benefit friends in France?! Recently, the ministry that Summer works with recieved a much needed house for its students this fall (a huge answer to prayer). However, there is quite a bit of work to do so what better way to spend my first full day in France than painting a real French house. What a joy to pray through each room and for the students that will be impacted in that space! Of course, Summer and I had a great time as well-- though I think I got more paint on me than on the wall!
If you think this trip is all work and no play, ce n'est pa vrai--Last night, we did enjoy a wonderful evening in the city with two great French guys (don't worry they were friends of Summers and now mine). We enjoyed walking along the Plage eating gelato and laughing a lot. We also saw the processional outside Notre Dame for the Catholic holiday honoring Mary. Apart from my blonde hair and my American accent, I blended right in with the Parisians (rather than the tourists).
Tomorrow we leave for Switzerland for a little R & R and for a spiritual retreat. Pray for our safety and for our conversation-- as well as our time with the Lord. We are both wanting to meet with Him and reflect on our past years. Au revoir!
