OH, FRANCE

Here are a few promised pictures.  Enjoy!

Our home... [Our appartment is the level below the white part.]

 They have a pretty sweet skate park right next to us #2legit2quit

 ...After long car rides.

Yes, my friends, octopus.

Molly and Abby--out getting pintxos.

 Eating French Fries... in France :)

Our neighbor dog whose bark is def bigger than his bite. 

Aggie swiped my ipod when I wasn't looking.  These are only a few of the ones she took. :')

Today we started school with the kids.  Rachel was home, so I worked through some stuff with the younger two: Apollos and Agnes.  The older peeps, [Nate, Rachel, Molly, and Miles] start their intensive language class on the 13th, Lord willing.  So I'll be schooling the kids full time on my own then.  

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous and sunny this week, and we've enjoyed getting out and exploring.  As you can tell by the pictures, it really is stunning around where we're at.  Some of the mountain pictures I took were taken in Spain.  Also, we were able to visit and swim at the beach yesterday.  FIRST time ever venturing into the ocean for me!  I had an absolute blast crashing into the waves and tasting the salty sea.  

Aside from the everyday adventures we've been having, God's been doing amazing works in my personal walk with Him! to the praise of His name!!  But some things to be praying for me:  

+ That I would stay focused on my mission here and stay faithful to my calling.  

+ Also that I would be a witness to the other families and their kids here.  

+ Pray for health for me and for the family; I'm getting over a cold right now [thank you, Mommy for sending me with meds and my favorite tea!  You're the best] and it's making its way around the family.

+ And you can be praying that I'd keep my walk with the Lord a priority as well.  

+ Pray that internet would be quick in coming as well.  We're still working on setting that up.

Hope to post again soon!  Gotta run...
