They do like it there. For the next year they will still be in Language school. It's a hard language to learn. They won't get a church like we think about over here. They will start out with a small group at their house, which grows to a large group that somebody else takes over and branches out with. It's called Church Planting. The Baptist Missionary Association, which Michael works for, has a church building in central France. When Michael finishes language school, they will probably move closer to that town and work from there.

That's awesome!! I'm sure you're a proud Mama with your son in the ministry as a missionary!!!

That's an important job, Betsi! Who are the people he is bringing into the church?

Judy, it's just people that he meets and talks to in his everyday life. Bus, grocery store, friends from the kids school, etc. I am very proud of him, I just wish his calling didn't take him so far away:o

I think that's every mother's fear when their kids finally leave home. At least you have the finances to go and visit them!! Glen would have a hard time keeping me home if my kids lived far away!!!

I know Diana. I am very thankful I can afford to go see them, because if I couldn't, I would probably just charge up a credit card and go anyway:rolleyes: But it does limit my spending on other things, like Mike needs a new vehicle, I want new flooring, etc. I'm really not a big spender at all. It's always in the back of my mind that I need to save money to go to Seattle and France:o

That's how it always is, Betsi. Even though Jessie and the kids live right here, I don't spend so much just in case something happens.

I wonder what it would be like to be really wealthy! A bit more free, and less worry about what to do when things do happen, I guess. It's actually not one of my goals though. I pretty much have everything, except a wonderful man in my life.

I'd definitely give you my man if you'd help me get more money...lol

Lol! Janet you are a card!

Oh Janet!!! :sidesplit:

Betsi...do you have more pictures or can you tell us more about Paris? About the people? Your pictures are just beautiful!
