Oh my, Betsi!
What beautiful pictures, and what a wonderful trip you had! The family is wonderful, and the pix of Raelyn dancing with Daddy are WOW! Paris is beautiful! I think I'm going to do my dining area just like Napolean's! Notre Dame is breathtaking, especially the Pieta! I remember waiting on line to see it, and it brought me to tears. Then it was in the US for something, and there were tears again! I am so happy for you and Mike!

Great pictures Betsi!!! I wish I could go back! I loved Notre Dame as well! I did not get a chance to go to the Louvre though!
Did you pick up any French while you were there?

I did pick up a few words, and I also found out a couple of things that I thought were pretty funny. French people really do kiss on each cheek.. on the cheek if they are close friends, air beside the cheeks if they are acquaintances. Also, they really do say OooLala! All of the time, lol, and if they are really excited its "OoooLalalalalalalala!"

How do your kids like it there? Have they got their church yet? Gary has a cousin who works as a missionary in Albertville France. She used to be a wild one, but found religion a few years ago and became a missionary. Gary and I laugh that she just does it so she can live in France.

Betsi those are fabulous pics. I am so jealous, I have never been to Paris or any part of Europe. The pictures look straight out of my art class.
What a great vacation, and you have such a beautiful family. |

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.
