The last month has been a whirlwind!

We left my family at the hotel in Geneva and picked up my friend Jessica:
 |
| Beaufort |
I have a small fear of driving our car (stick shift) in the mountains, or really anywhere out of town. Jessica encouraged me and up we drove all the way to the top where lac roseland is. Afterwards she said she was glad I stayed in 2nd all the way down- she doesn't like mountain roads!
 |
| We conquered our fears! |
We made it to Annecy:
 |

 |

 |

 |

Whew! Jessica left and the next day Chris and Noah went to Paris with the Flambeaux- the jr high group from church.
Next a bike ride to the local reservoir with friends:
 |
| New game with water bottles... |
Sunset as awesome as ever…
Meanwhile we study…..
and go on field trips- much more French practiced on the field trips!
Kristin's class climbed the small mountain we look at from our living room.
 |
| The donkey's carried our bags up. |
 |
| A leaf hat- very popular here…. |
And for Ben's class too:
And a quick visit from Darren followed by a bike race…
 |
| Ball with the neighbors |
 |
| Happy Father's Day! |
And then, more studying.
We actually finished our tests today. Results tomorrow…
We paid for our tickets to Cameroon 2 days ago. We leave July 29! But we have been so busy… no time to write- maybe tomorrow….
Pray for all the things we need to do still.
Pray for our Cameroonian visas. We mailed our paperwork yesterday.
Pray for my mom. She is tired, has little strength in her hands, aches and pains, and doesn't know why. I know caring for my daddy took it's toll, but seeing her here. Wow. She is, for the first time ever, feeling her age. 81. I still hope she can visit us in Cameroon sometime.
