Our First Song

(Mrs. Roy with our 3 children and her two children Camille and Benjamin)...yes we know the date is wrong in the picture.....we have to try to figure out how to change it!

For all of you who do not know, trying to pay attention to a message that you cannot understand because it is in a different language is very difficult. The members of the church have been wonderful in trying to teach our children French words, pronunciations, and songs. They take our children out during the services to a Sunday school room and work with them. The kids have to read a French book and try to pronounce letters and words as well. Last evening, Kami snuck out with the children to join them for their teaching session (Can you believe she snuck out of the preaching services! I wanted to sneak out as well but couldn't!) After the services she was so excited. She and the kids learned a couple of songs in French and had a couple of lessons on pronouncing certain letters. They sang the B-I-B-L-E in French and did very well! They also learned a couple of other "children's" songs. We praise the Lord for the faithfulness of God's people in helping our family in our next step in reaching the West Indies!
