Language school is going well and we had to miss one day of class last week due to illness. But with everyone doing well, we should be back in full force to tackle French and life in general!
Last week, Pastor Roy scheduled an appointment at a tire shop and the church here bought 4 used snow-tires for our van. Winter tires are required by law and it was truly a blessing for the church to provide for this need!!! Thank you Eglise Baptiste de St-Augustin!!!
This weekend was the 2nd annual Mission's Conference here at the church. Kami and I, along with the Petit Vaillants children, made decorations for the conference. Everything was in blue & white which are the Quebec colors. Pastor Hilmer from Sherbrooke preached the conference and we showed our DVD which Pastor Roy had to translate. This was the first time the church has been able to see our DVD presentation. Kami, Elisabeth, and Brenna sang a special and we had a conference lunch in which all Quebec Foods were made.....Here are a few pictures from the conference:

Kami made these Tartes au Sucre (Quebec Sugar Pies) for dessert:
We were worried that us Americans were not going to make the Quebec sugar pies just right, but Kami got a big thumbs up! We were at first a little worried because one of the young college -girls pretended to throw-up after trying it, but she was just trying to play a joke on Kami!!!
Kami and the girls singing "It's Through the Blood"
It was a good conference (at least we believe it was.....it was all in French!) The fellowship was great and the Faith Promise committments increased from last year. We praise the Lord! Until next time.....
