Today the kids had a break from school and we needed to go
to the prefecture to pick up their French residence cards and apply for my
French driver’s license. So we hopped on
our bikes and headed off to the tram station where we locked up our bikes and
got on the tram to ride downtown to the prefecture. We spent some time in the prefecture taking
care of all of the legal matters that go with living in a foreign country; then
we walked along the river and found a place for lunch. Along the way we watched the baby ducklings
playing in the water. After lunch we
walked over to Place Kleber to go to the huge bookstore so that I could buy
another French book for my French class.
On the way we had delicious ice cream cones. Next it was time to take the tram back to
near our home; where we once again hopped on our bikes and headed for
home. On the way home we saw beautiful
swans floating on the river. The next
plan for our day was to hop in the car and drive across the river into Germany
to shop for a dog crate for our dog Toby.
When we returned home we decided to go to the Orangerie Park for a
little more fun. The kids played and
Toby ran around, until he rolled in stork poop and we had to go home and give
him a bath! The stork is the symbolic
bird for the Alsace region of France: a beautiful white bird with black tipped
feathers.
Please continue to pray for all of our paperwork for living
in France to work out smoothly.
The largest mosque in France is located in Strasbourg. Please pray that God will open the hearts of
people to the possibility of having a personal relationship with Him through
Christ.
We are meeting many people from many countries and faith
backgrounds; from Russia, Poland, Italy, Guinea, Senegal, Congo, Cameroon,
Belgium, Japan, and Morocco. Please pray
for us as we build relationships and as we discuss our personal relationships
with the Lord.
Please pray for Sylvie St. Alby. Sylvie is from Guinea. She and her ten year old daughter recently
moved to Strasbourg. Sylvie was in the
hospital for complications related to her diabetes.
We appreciate your
prayers.
