Changing Quick

Last week finished well.  We had three present for the Bible Study.  In spite of
 the threatening weather, I set up the stand at the Market.  It went well and there was not any rain.  I was able to hand out one tract and one Bible.  The weekend passed well.  We enjoyed the services in Carcassonne, France and in Hillsboro, Texas.   Monday started two weeks out of school for the kids.  Lilia is signed up this first week for a sports camp of sorts.  She goes the same hours that she would normally go to school to the gym and participates in different sports.  She wanted to spend time with her friends and I hope that she is able to meet girls her age from other schools because they will all be in the Jr. High together next year.  In the afternoon we went to pick up a piece of furniture (pictured) from the pastor in Carcassonne.  It was a nice piece that I thought would fit into our car, it didn't, but we were able to borrow a trailer and get it here.  Thankfully we have a little more storage in our kitchen now.  Arianna has been eating cereal once a day now.  She really enjoys it.  She was real good for us
 for a few days, but now her teeth are bothering her.  She seems to change like the weather.  It has been interesting the last few days with sudden downpours of rain, followed by sunshine.  We saw a beautiful rainbow yesterday (pictured) with some of the brightest colors I have seen.  I will work on my Bible Study lesson today, answer a Bible question that my language helper had, and work on a question that someone asked at the market (I gave them an oral answer, but wanted to write it down as well).    I wanted to attach this video of Andrew eating the other day.  We still have been laughing so much at meal times.  It would be impossible to tell all of the funny things that happen and that we hear at the table.  We did get Andrew to re-enact how he started eating.

March almost behind us.


Bonjour à tous. Another month is almost behind us. It seems hard to believe that we have already been in France for three months. We will finish our first trimester of schooling in a couple of weeks as well. I am happy with our level of language learning so far. Not just French, but I am learning to comprehend a lot of English (England english) as well. God has blessed us these three months. Our mail goal for this first year and a half is to learn the language and culture of France. Focusing on that now will help the ministry considerable later. God has blessed with allowing us to have contacts as well that we are trying to win for Christ. I believe this is just a taste of what is to come during the next few years. We are also going to have a church organized here soon. I have been teaching Yvain and Virginie about various aspects of Church. They are already familiar with some aspects after attending church for about a year in the US, but it has been a good review for them. Since they have this knowledge already, I believe God is leading them organize, we picked late April for the organization. Gary Orr the pastor of the church they attend in the US will come for the service. It means a lot to them to have him here for this. Please pray for them as Satan will try to attack these young believers and the new church with strong efforts to try and hurt the further work of God here. Since there will be a local congregation for those saved to be added to, to follow God and become disciples and disciple makers themselves, I think God will bless with more souls saved. Join us in praying toward this goal.

March being finished is also signs of warmer weather and less rain. Yesterday we saw a rainbow in the sky, kind of significant for the end or March. God bless and thanks for the prayers. JASON
