back to simon's roots

Our visit to Nancy was short but sweet! We stayed in the same flat as we had in the summer, but this time we were able to see the friend who lent it to us before she left. It was kind of her to leave it to us, as she was in Nancy this weekend but stayed with someone else so that we would have a whole flat to ourselves. I think it was nice for Simon to be back somewhere familiar. He definitely recognised it, and not only the flat – on Saturday morning I took him to the park, and as we passed a corner where a digger had been parked last summer, he shouted, “Digger! Digger!”

Our church was having a special weekend with a guest speaker, Raphaël Anzenberger, and Marc went to the Saturday morning meeting which was a kind of training session on apologetics and sharing your faith with neighbours and work colleagues. We spent some time with our pastor that afternoon, and on Sunday morning went to both the services (9am and 11am). Marc gave a testimony in the first and I did in the second.

As usual, it was great to be back and to see everyone again. Having been there for ten days in August we didn’t feel frustrated at not being able to see people for long, and we ate with a family from church and had a relaxing afternoon with them. It was colder than it had been in Orange, but still sunny and we found yet another playground for Simon to explore!!

We’re now back in Paris for ten days with Marc’s parents, with various people to see while we’re here.
