Nous sommes des étudiants. Translated: we are students (however I know many of you do not need a translation since french has been coming out of the woodwork in emails to us. I look forward to the day when I can understand what you have written).
Here is a snapshot of a (week) day in our new life here in France: wake up, class, lunch, class, walk to the bakery or grocery store, eat dinner, play trains or go for a walk, homework, pass out in bed, repeat. We are 100% submerged in learning right now. Our classes are challenging and our brains are already being stretched to their limit after just 6 days of class.
We are hopeful that the seeds of learning being sown will reap benefits in our life and ministry in Madagascar and beyond. il est difficile, but also a gift to be learning French.
Here are a few pics of class, home and a school field trip down the Seine river in downtown Paris.
My superb teacher Alain teaching me to make the proper “ou” sound in French. “Mooooo like an angry cow” he says.

A beautiful and very chilly boat ride down the Seine river last Wednesday. Yep, that is the Eiffel tower in the background.
A very exciting “chooo chooo” ride for Oliver in to Paris. Our school is a 30 minute train ride from downtown Paris. We are still trying to figure out how to make public transportation + toddler ≠ chaos. Any tips?
Kitchen/living room/dining room in our petit apartment on campus. No. 1 missed comfort from home...American sized couch.
