France!

Before 2024, we had never been to Europe, and this year we had meetings TWICE that took us there! This time, we were blessed to be a part of meetings with globalization, networking about how the nations can partner together more effectively to reach the unreached - not just Americans being sent out, but how we can work with other nations to partner together to accomplish the Great Commission. The time together was such a blessing (though Steve got sick, so I had to carry most of the load for this one). I can't share pics from those meetings due to security concerns, but we stayed at an old abbey, and I can share this great rainbow pic from our time there. 

After the meetings, Steve & I tacked on a couple of days to explore France. We stayed in a lovely little airbnb & had a nice time exploring. We saw lots of different castles (Mount St. Michael was our favorite!) and enjoyed the little taste of fall foliage (don't get that in the Philippines). Of course had to get that obligatory Eiffel Tower pic, and we drove the circle around the Arc de Triumph (sites said it is the craziest in the world, but those travelers obviously haven't been to Asia - we can know several that beat it hands down). 

So incredibly thankful for the many opportunities to be involved in His work!
