France Update no.1

So apparently this is the easiest way to keep in touch with you lot whilst I’m away for a bit. It has worked pretty well over the last year. Not sure how often I will be able to get on the Internet (im hoping like once a week) so I will try and update this with what I have been up to and provide some things that Id love you to pray for me about if you want to.

So I leave here tomorrow for Biarritz which is on the coast of the South West of France nearish the Spanish boarder. I have been placed with a missionary out there by an organisation called world horizons, exciting stuff n’est-ce pas?

The fact that it’s a heck of a lot warmer there than it is here is a definite plus point, but I am having to hold back my Englishness and not pack all my jumpers.

I have been trying to think of some small English gifts to take over with me, my brother and I even Wikipediaed England to see what was truly English… all we came up with was rain, disappointment and queuing. None of which I really want to take with me. Any suggestions??

Please pray that

-I stay nice n healthy
- That I would be able to be a help and an encouragement to the church that Im about to go and help and especially for the missionary Im being placed with (Helen)
- for my French, that what I know I will remember and what I don’t I will learn fast
- for confidence
