We're Back!
We are officially back! I have really enjoyed our time, but I am sooo thankful to be at home and I am happy to get back to work! Jaclyn will be posting the last of the pictures on Facebook soon and then I will link it here...but Jaclyn is a little busy right now in getting ready to go and do childcare at the same conference that she and I worked for in France last last year at this time! She will be going with Evy Fredrickson who will be journaling the event through her camera as well as helping with childcare. Well, I need to sign off...but it's great to be back!

Last few days...
of our trip! Can't believe it. We have loved our time, learned much, laughed much, and wept a little (many times in good ways...like when watching the Young Victoria...which we LOVED!!!)...but I am ready to come home and start working! Before I get carried away in all I want to do when I get home :D I wanted to give you the latest link (though it doesn't have all of the pictures on it yet...)
Blessings, and I can't wait to talk to all of you!!!

Hooray! We have spotty internet... :D
Thanks Amy for posting while I had no access to the internet! We will try to post over the next few weeks, but we will have really spotty internet and we don't know when it'll work. Here is the latest link for pictures. Have a great rest of the week!

Why We're Here
I never really posted why we decided to take this trip. I'm going to remedy that!
O.k.... :D
First off, Jaclyn and I had wanted to return after coming here with the Rienows, so we started looking into a missions trip through Bible Church again, but that door closed. After that, we started discussing going as a family (as our mission really truly is to minister as a family), which ended being what happened! We took some time for touring and vacation (normally when we go on vacation, we visit family, so we haven't had a vacation without other people for quite a few years!), and we also were there to encourage the Christians in France. We ended up going to a small church two Sundays, getting together with few different groups of people and also having a big group over to the home we stayed in. It was a good time, but it wasn't a piece of cake...it was really hard to go into another culture!
For the rest of the time we're here, we will be doing education and vacation. I'm very happy to be posting from London! Also, due to the fact that we have limited time at the places we're staying and therefore a limited time that we want to spend on the computer, I will be posting a link of the albums we've been putting up on Facebook. Annnd...we'd love to hear from y'all, we miss you! So e-mail us!

Siv and Vincent
Some wonderful Christians we met while here. They were so fun to meet and talk with, and we were really happy to talk deeply about what life's like in France.

...and you're on a narrow bri
dge when a car drives by... :D P.S. please forgive the formatting...it's just not working...!
The Church
Throughout every town, the church is in the center of town...building wise, but sadly, not people wise. They are consistantly empty...which is so sad to see. These beautiful churches that took years to build...are slowly becoming unused...and unwanted. How can we make sure that this problem does not become America's problem? Let's change our world as we know it!
One way to keep cool...
is to plant a grape arbor over your doorstep! It's also a good way to grow grapes!

stopping to look at the map!
we stopped in the Jardin Public to gaze at the beauty around us and (more helpful) to look at the map!
the fountain
we walked around the town we are staying on Monday and found a nice fountain... :D you can guess the rest!What to do when you can't figure out how to use the washer...
you wash them out in the sink and hang them out to dry!

washing them out...
hanging them to dry...spotting them...
rinsing...
What to do when the bakery is closed...
In France, you buy your bread every day...otherwise you get a really, really, hard rock that works as a missile...anyway... :D so what do you do when the bakery is closed on Sunday morning? You make "French!" toast! Before we left, we heard that French toast actually orginated from day-old French bread!
