"Almost" First Month Review

It is hard to believe that I am nearly here in Saint-Hippolyte-du-Fort for a month now and it seems as if so much has happened and yet I am trying to grasp what all has happened. Not sure if I have shared this before but before coming to France the Lord was very quiet in the when, what's and why's department. I think in all it was a test at whether I would be obedient regardless if I knew why I was coming and what I would be doing. This morning as I was talking with the Lord I remembered when I said yes to missions I told the Lord that I would go anywhere, to help where the need was. He is so faithful when we are and I am excited to be able to staff this September's One Thing DTS.

Besides a  DTS this base is also open to hosting teams from around the world and just as we finished hosting a church team from California this week we are welcoming two YWAM teams. One team is from the School of Evangelism from Tyler, TX. The other team is from the Fire and Fragrance DTS in Kona, HI. Because we are new to the town and area we are seeking the Lord for direction in what to have the teams do but it is almost as the Lord had set up a huge town party "fete" for the weekend with bull runs through the town, carnival atmosphere, balls and orchestra's. The people of the town are excited about this weekend and we too.
