So my arthroscopic knee surgery went well last Tuesday. I am actually headed off to my second physical therapy appointment in a few minutes. I can't wait to be active again. It has been three months since I have done anything which is an eternity to me. I definitely need to get out and sweat. I go a little crazy when I don't. I can't wait to get back on my bike and play some ball. God has been teaching me more patience through all of this and to be thankful for things. When you are injured, sick, etc everything is put into perspective.
We are busy getting ready for our upcoming trip to the states. I will be officiating a wedding for one of my former students at SBPC on June 29th. It will be a quick visit this time as we have time constraints on both ends of the trip. We do look forward to reconnecting with friends, family and supporters in California though for a couple weeks and updating eveyone on what God has done here in the past 12 months with us, our team, and the ministry. Lots of praises to share!!
We are so excited with the direction the ministry is heading in. We see God opening doors all over the place. It is such a privilege to be able to share with people about what it means to be a Christ follower and to help people begin to live in the way of Jesus. We seek to be a blessing in our community and demonstrate God's love through word and deed.
The kids are all growing like crazy. Just lately, Silas has begun putting whole sentences together. He is such a cutie. He loves playing with motorcycles more than anything else. He also likes bouncing on the trampoline in our backyard. He is actually really good at it for a 2 year old. Thea is continuing to impress us with her French progress. She is also becoming quite the social butterfly on our street. Isaiah is looking more and more like a big boy. He is very excited about going to Legoland this summer in San Diego.
Samantha and I are enjoying watching Lost season 3 together right now. We are also looking forward to eating some Mexican food and hanging out with friends in San Diego. After being here in France now for three years, we are thankful for the friends God has provided for us here. We are also thankful for the many people who support us and make what we are doing here possible. What a ride these first three years have been. God is faithful though and so in control.
Ok, I am off to my physical therapy appointment and then I am going to watch a bit of the French Open and the Giro D'Italia. Then we are off to our friends house for dinner and an evening all in French. Yikes I still have so much to learn in French.
