I haven't been so good about keeping my blog up lately, but then being here in Europe is such a change from Benin that I've lost momentum!
How about a couple of quotes which illustrate what it is to grow up in Africa and then visit Europe:
Simon: Papy, do you have croissants in France too?
(Originally said in French of course!)
Mummy: Simon, stay on the pavement.
Simon: What's the pavement?
But we are all continuing to adjust well. After a relaxing time in the UK we are now enjoying some time with the French side of the family, and also had our first meeting on Sunday afternoon at Marc's parents' church. Marc also preached in the morning.
We begin our "Tour de la France" on Tuesday, when we leave for Chinon to visit some friends and speak at their church.
A few photos...
Great entertainment in England:
Simon and his cousin Andrew ... spot the difference!
And Benjy is wearing exactly the same clothes as Simon two years ago, which is amusing when I see him from behind:
We went and visited our friend James' farm:
And now we have crossed the Channel and are testing out French playgrounds:
And French bikes:
I would put photos of our families in too, but it would end up being far too long a post! We are of course loving spending time with them!
