France under Water!
Several months ago, we were able to baptize Danielle in Jesus’ name for the remission of sins (Acts 2.38) and Sunday she was able to be with us in service for the first time!

Still Divided… almost home
They say “A mom’s work is never done.” and I’m in a better position this week to confirm that that is the case. I’ve observed it for a number of years, but am getting a crash course in it this week!
