We originally said that we would leave for Benin in November if we had the necessary monthly support, and if my pregnancy continued to go well. It is now looking unlikely that we will have found 100% of our support by November, and although I am perfectly healthy, we have been advised by SIM in Benin to wait until after our baby is born to travel there. They don't want to risk too much stress in late pregnancy.
We had started to see this coming, so it wasn't as if our hopes were dashed overnight. Although it is a bit frustrating to have to wait even longer before getting there, we aren't going to just sit around kicking our heels until we leave. This month we are visiting family, supporters and the SIM base in France, as planned. Then we'll go back to my (wonderful) parents' in the UK, and will be there until the baby's birth. Marc is going to try to find temporary work, and we'll get more involved with our church in Bedford.
Here are a few photos of autumnal France:
