To vaccinate or not to vaccinate, that is the question! We are almost on our way, but there are so many little and big decisions to be made along the way.
Our French language study program includes many different parts that all work together to improve our ability to communicate in French. One example is reading the Bible with a French speaking student from the Word of Life Bible School who we were paired with at the beginning of our first semester. We meet three times […]
As part of the process of learning French we go on outings where we speak only French and have local events and places explained in French. Our final outing for this semester was to a maple sugar shack.....
It seems like just yesterday that we brought James and Jada home, and now they are 5 years old. Where did the time go? James and Jada are such a blessing to our family...
So, another fun vocabulary lesson in French. déguster means to taste or to relish. Hardly what comes to my mind when I see a word so close to disgusting. :)
We have some great news to share with you! We have been trusting the Lord together with you to provide for our monthly support as well as prayer support for our ministry in Senegal West Africa. Well….drum roll please! God has brought us to 100% pledged funding of our monthly support. Thank you so much […]
English and Spanish have some common roots with the French language. Jenny and I have the privilege of knowing Spanish and it has been a big help to us in being able to understand French more quickly than we might otherwise have been able to. We do have to watch out for what are called […]
Part of our French Language program is to meet with one of the students from the Word of Life Bible School that is on the same campus as the French Language program. We read the Bible in French with them for one hour per week. It was the end of the semester and Jenny was […]
So, we have wrapped up 1/2 of our first semester in French Study. We had an oral and a written test to see how we have done. We are so thankful to be able to study at the Language school at Parole De Vie Bethel. Michel Roby, our French teacher, is incredibly patient with us […]
A few weeks ago we were so excited when we checked our mail and saw that we had a package waiting for us at the Boni Soir (Canada Post outlet near us). We got coats on the family after the kids got home from school and picked up our package. Below you can see some […]
First of all, just wanna comment on how beautiful the city of Sherbrooke is. We are so blessed to be living here during our time of French study. The fall colors have been incredible so far. We have already had some snow flurries, so I suppose it is promising to be a long winter. 🙂 […]
We are so excited about some doors that God has openned for us during our time here in Quebec. We visited Rock Forest Church here in Quebec. On our first Sunday there we found out the Rock Forest Church was launching out a Church plant called Axe 21. Just a note on the name, don’t do […]
It is hard to believe, but as we begin our French Study here in Quebec it is back to kindergarten for us. One of our “textbooks” is for ages 5 to 7 years old. We really can’t read well yet, but we will start having reading assignments in October sometime. So dissappointing to be illiterate […]
Thank you so much for your prayers for our family and all the adjustments we have been making. Today the kids had a good first day at school and made it onto the right bus to get back home! They actually have a French speaking (bi-lingual) home room teachers so that should help them with […]
I think this is a first for us… Jenny and I were able to give a “video tour” of our new apartment by using Skype. Of course you know I love technology, but I thought I would take a moment to share a fun way we were able to use it. We also got to […]
