We are coming to the end of our week of informal training at the SIM base near Orange, in the South of France. We may have had a long drive to get here, but at least we were rewarded by warm weather. After winter coats in Paris, it made a nice change to be sitting outside in short sleeves for our discussions with the team here!
We have been able to talk about the practical side of the preparations for our departure - finances, visas, health considerations and so on - and also many other aspects of missionary life. The team here are a great source of knowledge but also encouragment, support, friendship ... we're very thankful for them!
Tomorrow (Friday 17th) we'll be driving up to Nancy where we'll be spending the weekend with our home church, and taking part in the Sunday services. Please pray that it would all go well!

Sorry to hear that you won't be leaving in November as hoped for, but it sounds like it's for the best ultimately. And of course, it comes as no surprise to God, so it's not as if you're "off schedule" in the grand scheme of things! Enjoy your weekend in Nancy. I would love to be there. Fall was lovely there. I'll be praying for a great weekend, continued good health for you and baby, and lots of new supporters!
Love,
Stacy
