This will be our last update from Quebec. We will leave our home of the past 8 months early Friday morning and return to Ohio from where we will visit some of you over the next month before we leave for Cote d?Ivoire June 1st. But right now, we have 7 exams to take this week.
During this long 8 months, we have made many new friends whom we will find hard to leave. Some of them are fellow missionaries, some are our language partners and/or our tutors who have become friends, some are fellow classmates, and some are francophone friends we have made at our churches or other activities with which we?ve become involved. Many know the Lord closely while others know Him but have had limited opportunities to grow. Then there are those with whom we?ve had opportunities to share, praying that they respond to the light which has been given
Bob gave my book – The Purpose-Driven Life – to his language partner last night who promised to read the book and to correspond with him about it. I gave the same book to my language partner last week. Tonight, she went to the church-plant Bible study (covering this book) with us where she met a ?new language partner? who happens to be another missionary stationed here in Quebec to help with the church plant.
In many ways, we feel as if our ?work? here is not complete. Although we have learned some French, there is most definitely so much more to know. And although we have planted some seed, there is lots of watering to be done. Please continue to pray for those who faithfully ?work? for the kingdom here in Quebec and for those who are considering the kingdom for the first time.
