Day Four - Le Basket...

Grace and peace to you guys. Day four started out the same.
The Anthonys as always were
gracious in feeding us a delicious
breakfast of croissants, and cereal, and that's
no small order with 29 feet 11 inches and 900 lbs of human.( Stephanie only accounts
for 5 feet 3 inches and a svelt 115 lbs!) Then the sky broke and it rained HARD for about an hour
only to have things clear up and the sun come out for the rest of the day. 85 and loving it.

After things dried out a bit we got the first hands on opportunity for which we came here to begin the work with the children in playing a little ball with them, and spreading the word about next week's b-ball camp. Curiosity seemed to get the best of the friendly, beautiful, and smiling french kids as they watched the former athletically inclined American missionaries play around, and they willingly joined in. I know that I speak for my brothers and sisters in Christ when I say that I can't wait for Monday to get here to begin the camp. They were most intrigued by Jeff's dunking and his "over 2 meter frame."

After we left the projects with the kids, we came back to the Anthony's to a fellowship over
Mrs. A's chicken pesto-pasta dinner, and Stephanie's chocolate chip cookies watched a movie then turned in...it's hard in the field!

Seriously though thank-you all for your continued prayerful support. Next week will be long and tough. Or as Pastor Anthony likes to say,"the only easy day was yesterday." We love and miss all you guys.

God bless you.
