Affirmation
Yesterday was a very affirming day although it was a day of meetings. Bryn and Blake were at College church to report on the Let’s Start Talking project. About 20 children sat around them, listening intently to the two college students tell about their work in Lausanne. None of the little guys, ages 5 to 10, were too interested in making the trip in the future… Steve did a good job on James 5, only stealing two of my verses from next week.
We met with Gene Sue’s shepherding group. They had questions on stuff we don’t often think about: Is there a home-school movement in Switzerland? How do people from so many language groups get on with each other?
We attended an old-fashioned potluck and then met with the elders. They prayed for us and laid hands on us, telling us how much they loved us.
The 9 members of the mission committee had many questions as we looked at possibilities for the next few years.
Our furlough is winding down. I appreciate the time we’ve spent in California with dad, mom, brother and sisters. And church. Not all our foreign church workers have this kind of experience. Thanks, College church!

You are blessed, Brady. Wish we could have spent more time with you. I broke out the Swiss chocolate bar when Jessica was home last week and she took it with her! That girl LOVES dark, semi-sweet … and then to get it in the Swiss form!!!

Sorry to hear about the stress related to your return. Maybe you’ll get to run up here and help unpack some boxes!

Sorry again about stealing the verses. They DID include a “then,” which related them back to the passage I was dealing with. And I only mentioned them at the very end, when nobody was listening anymore. Does that help?
You did a great job with the kids. Did you notice how closely the young girls were paying attention when Bryn was talking. They hung on her every word.
