So we had a wonderful week last week! Monday through Thursday, we did some sightseeing. Tuesday we spent back at the Med Sea - we can lounge around on the sand forever. :)
Wednesday we drove up to Avignon. The GPS took us a through a beautiful scenic route up over the mountains. We stopped and saw some remains from a Roman built place - we couldn't read the signs but that's what I gathered. :) Also it was right by where VanGough painted some of his most famous paintings. So amazing.
Avignon was an adventure. It's quite a large village and Mitch got the experience of driving in a city! All roads are narrow but we took one that was like a sidewalk, praying we could get through. Fun stuff. We visited the pope's palace there. Amazing but also quite an atmosphere of darkness. The spiritual dynamics in this country are not the same as the States, for sure.
Friday we took the train back to Valence for the conference with Pierre-Daniel. Mitch preached 3 services on Friday, 2 on Saturday and on Sunday morning. A grueling schedule but the presence of the Lord was off the charts! People were healed physically and spiritually, they were encouraged and challenged by the Word and encountered by the beautiful love of Jesus! I love this part of our lives!
Now we're back in Istres, sitting at 'our' MacDough's, catching up on life and getting you caught up on ours. :)
This week we'll tour around southern France some more before things get more consistently busy. We'll start October off by attending our first French wedding!
