                    <title>Vive la Bretagne</title>
                    <description>So after my stay in the South I made the long and treacherous journey across France to Brittany by train lugging about 45kg of luggage behind me. I set out at 11 o39clock from Toulon  luckily my pastor was kind enough to escort me to the train or I might have had some difficulty battling my way down the stairs and up the escalator.When I got on the train I felt I was about to relive the unp</description>

                    <title>Leaving Alsace and a holiday in the South</title>
                    <description>My longawaited departure from Alsace took place last Wednesday July 18th at 1600 to be exact. Saying goodbye to the family was as I expected difficult sad and surreal  it was one of those moments which you prepare for and think about for so long that when it finally happens it almost doesnt feel real. And I wish it hadnt been real. I wish I hadnt had to look at Gabriel thinkin</description>

                    <title>Bouge Ta Ville a week of growthunitymission and evangelism</title>
                    <description>And so the exciting busy and intensive week of Bouge Ta Ville began  to explain simply it39s a week where about 200 young people get together every two years to transform and manifest the glory of God to their city. The concept began in Mulhouse the city where I was doing it last week and is beginning to spread to other cities across France which is VERY exciting....It all kicked off on Sat</description>

                    <title>End of term a school party and the first week of the holidays</title>
                    <description>It felt like just any other Friday at the end of a long and tiring week only this time I didn39t have lessons in the morning and I39d been called in to help the Maternelle ALL DAY. Imagine my excitement. Ok so it wasn39t that bad and it was my last day working at the school and there was quite an exciting and buzzing atmosphere as preparations for the school party got underway. The sch</description>

                    <title>Coming to the End</title>
                    <description>Only two weeks left of school but I don39t think it39s really sunk in yet. I think my announcement yesterday that I only have one month left here in Alsace quite shocked Laetitia hitting her and me with a realization of how quickly the time has gone.Last Friday I had my last lesson with the 4eme  I allowed them to bring crisps and sweets to snack on during the lesson but I felt a bit she</description>

                    <description>It39s crazy to think that when I began this year I was bored out of my mind but now my weeks are jampacked with things to dolessons to prepare and teachpeople to meetsocial activities to enjoy etc I just thank God that it wasn39t like this from the very beginning  I39ve had nearly a month of it and I39m exhausted and more than ready for a holidayGod really couldn39t have all</description>

                    <description>After neglecting my blogging duties for a few weeks mostly out of lack of time and the fact that nothing particulary exciting has happened I have finally decided to put fingers to keyboard again in order to bring you uptodate.The Saturday before last I was feeling particulary brave and adventerous and sensing that another dull weekend at home might drive me crazy I decided to take a trip to </description>

                    <description>It has been another ordinary and pleasant week but I fear that if I go into all the details I will bore you dear readers so I will do my best to include only the 39interesting39 stuff.After holidays and bank holidays they seem to have a lot in France I have finally managed to have a full 39working week39 that is to say both my Monday and Friday classes. And life with children is ra</description>

                    <description>On Saturday I was delighted to have the opportunity to take part in The March for Jesus in Strasbourg  the perfect place to pray for the nations of Europe And there was certainly a very European theme  at the end of the march we were even given the honour of having a meeting in the European Council  this Europe theme really spoke to me of the plans God has for me concerning Europe not just Fr</description>

                    <title>Alsacien sightseeing and a city break in Strasbourg</title>
                    <description>My day of freedom finally came on Friday when as scheduled I went over to Colmar to see Daniele the English teacher from school. Her holidays had been worse spent than mine and she was clearly full of bitterness hurt and sadness making conversation with her sometimes difficult and I found myself constantly praying for protection around myself against the negativity emanating from her. I began </description>

                    <title>Life with baby Emma</title>
                    <description>The day after the birth I joined the family on an exclusive trip to the hospital to visit mother and baby. Cedric bought Laetitia an amazing boquet of flowers which I was rather envious of and wondered to myself if my future husband will be quite so affectionate and romantic as that.Anais as the excited and proud big sister made sure that she got first hold of the baby when we arrived. I sat dow</description>

                    <description>I had told myself that the Easter holidays would be used for getting out exploring and actually doing something rather than staying in the rural dull and secluded world of Rimlishof. It39s funny how quickly we forget the Proverbs which says We can make plans in our mind but it39s the Lord who decides what we shall do.God had clearly decided that I would be staying in the rural dull and </description>

                    <title>Final day in Switzerland</title>
                    <description>Once again I allowed God the honour of waking me up that morning  who needs an alarm clock when you have the Holy Spirit It was a beautiful sunny day and the panoramic view before me when I drew back my curtains was breathtakingingly beautiful. It was also great motivation to get ready and start the day.At 800 before breakfast I decided to take a walk  being outside with such a great view be</description>

                    <description>I woke up on Tuesday morning at 630 having agreed with God the evening before that I wouldn39t set my alarm but that I would act in faith and let Him wake me up when He wanted me to.Breakfast wasn39t due until 830 so I had plenty of time to spend with God and get myself ready. I began by opening the curtains and drinking in the stunning view of the mountains  I could have spent the whol</description>

                    <description>A chance to pray and worship for the nations of Europe in a prayer house in the middle of the Swiss mountains was something I couldn39t resist and I39d jumped at the opportunity to go.We left Guebwiller at 830 on Monday morning a bit later than expected  some of the group39s timekeeping skills are a bit naff. 39We39 included a small international group from Eglise Josue some A</description>

                    <title>A day out to Kaysersberg and a bit of Alsacian sightseeing</title>
                    <description>In stark contrast to the previous week this week has been busy and fun the highlight being my afternoon out with Lydie my French teacher. After doing the round of cleaning at school we headed off to the picturesque Alsacian town of Kysersberg.As we descended the road into the town I was delighted to notice what looked like a medieval lookout tower with a stork perched in its nest on top  a </description>

                    <description>Welcome in our new addition to the family an injured and more than annoying woodpecker who Cedric found and brought back to the house on Monday. It39s not that I don39t like animals not at all but after outstaying his maximum 3day stay the amount of time Laetitia and Cedric told me he would need to recover annoying us all continually by hitting the side of his cage with his long beak</description>

                    <title>Getting Bored Together</title>
                    <description>Yesterday afternoon as agreed I went down to Rachel39s so that we could 39get bored together39. This commenced by watching Mansfield Park from Laetitia39s Jane Austen dvd box set with Rachel making sarcastic comments all the way through completely robbing it of its seriousness but I guess it made it more fun to watch and gave it a hint of reality so that at the end rather than sighi</description>

                    <title>Easter Sunday</title>
                    <description>I wasn39t sure if I was going to go to church on Sunday  sometimes the temptation of a long lyin and a lazy morning is just too much even for a 39good Christian girl39 like me. But seeing as it was Easter and Jesus had risen from the dead I did think I ought to make an effort. When I arrived at church I was slightly surprised to notice that not many people had made the same decision</description>

                    <description>I39ll be honest  I didn39t have very high hopes for my birthday party on Saturday courtesy of the Fau Family. Laetitiahad invited family friends from church people who tend to be at least 30 years older than me and more Cedric and Laetitia39s friends than mine. I was beginning to worry that I39d be the only person my age at the party. After a bit of light interrogation I39m not</description>
