News from the frenchies..

2006-07-17T12:05:00.000+02:00

So John and Esther left last thursday with their parents to go to the "Isle of Reunion" which is their mom's country, it's close to Madagascar.. very far away from here. We miss them..
John will get back on august 13th and Esther on the 23rd i think. It's a beautiful Isle.. they're gonna have an awesome time. I wish i was there with them

Then Remy left last friday to the beautiful south of France. He's in "Aix en Provence". I think Lisa, Ash and Mirm have been there already.
So he's there for a month, he's a voluntary worker (don't know if it's the good word) in a christian camp.
He went there by himself but i think he has friends over there so it's cool.

Sarah left last sunday to go to "Vendée" it's a very beautiful region of France, on the west. And the beach is really nice there.
She's a supervisor/leader (??) in a christian camp for kids.
It's great for her cause she really needed to get away from her family for a time. It will only be for two weeks but still it's good.

Last week Simon was in Berlin (Germany) because there was a kinda huge christian festival and he was the bass player of one of the bands. I heard he had a lot of fun there.
And this week he is in Spain with his parents and he'll get back on monday.
On the 3rd of august Jd is going to INDIANA!! what a lucky guy! :) We all wanna go with him...
My family and i + Manu and Melanie's mom are going to south of France too on august 12th until the end of august. We're renting a nice house there, close to the beach, so it's cool we're gonna have great times.

Oh and Manu and i + Simon and 3 other peeps from church might be going to London in the next couple of days..

We're having a "heatwave" in France since july and so it's REALLY hot here. Hard to sleep at night..
The seasons are going crazy .. lol
Well, i hope all of you is doing GREAT!! we miss you all very very much!

Icouldn't ask God for something better.

Clément is sooo important to me, i love him and we shared a lot of things together,we've known each other for 3 years now and he became my best friend...this guy really needed God in is life and I kept praying for him for he find God in his life

It was so amazing to see him friday night touched by God, touched by the christian and i think he wants to know more about all of that, isn't it awsome??!

Lord, I thank you for him and i pray that by that way we touch all of our friend...

As some of you guys knew, my parents and Melanie's mom were planning on going to the US this summer... BUT i am sad to tell you that they won't be able to go ... :(
They are really sad about it too, but the thing is that they would have need to get visas to be able to go ... it's kinda complicate to explain ...
I'm sad for them cause they were so excited about it, but they will come as soon as they can get the new kind of passeports which doesn't requires visas.
It will just be in God's time.
For me i dont know yet if i'll be able to go to the US AGAIN this summer -i wish i could- but if i can't i'm sure i'll see some of you in France huh?!
My house is open for anyone who wanna come !
Love ya all
God Bless

2006-03-14T21:28:00.000+01:00

Jonat got his driving licence today! Yeah!!

I'm happy for him :)

I know in America all the kids get their driving licence when they are 16 but in France it's kind of harder... and MUCH more expensive... it has cost him around 1300€ ! (which is around $1500 i think) ... just to be allowed to drive a car lol that's

crazy huh?!?

Anyway... he can drive me everywhere now ahah

Well that's it for today... i gotta go to bed!

Ya'll have a great day and i love you ;)

Sophie

Today is Yann birthday! like Jonath today he is 20! wow! my bro' is 20...it's so weird!...He looks still 15 sometimes lol...Yann is not my biologic brother, and everyone know that but he is really big brother for me: yelling at me if i do something wrong, taking care of me, and of course he doesn't like when i start to be close of a boy! lol ^^

But, anyway today my bro' is a big GUY and i'm so proud of him, He loves God and loves his family, this guy is so funny and i have sooo much fun with him! he is really cool...i always dreamt to have a brother because we're 4 girls at my house, God answered me and i thank Him with all of my heart.

God moving in Paris YEAH!!

2006-01-31T22:09:00.000+01:00

As most of you know now, we are all (the french kids) going to a new church, since october i think, we've been going to Hillsong church in Paris. It was just begining when we've started to attend it, and in fact it's the team from Hillsong London who is starting one in Paris...
And it is so amazing what God is doing in our beautiful city of Paris! You know when i went to America for the first time i loved CFC and it was my dream that someday in France we could have churches like americans. I was tired of the "boring" churches i've always been to... u know
I wanted to go to a church where i could bring my friends to, and a church which is growing! This church is a blessing for each of us !! We're gonna see great things happen in France soon! I'm so excited about it! I think we have to dream BIG 'cause GOD sees BIGGER than what we see! u know what i mean?
THE BEST IS TO COME!
I wanna thank you all so much for all your prayers for us and our country! God is truly answering your prayers (and ours too ;)

PS: Mélanie is going to church with us every week and she has changed a lot, and she is blessed!

Well, God bless you all, and yea i wanted to say also that all of us french kids think about you all a lot and we DONT forget you! we love you guys so much, and we are thankful to have such great friends! You are all like our family and a blessing for us! LOVE FROM ALL OF US!

Yesterday, we had Melanie's birthday party with all the french kids. We had so much fun! and Yann made a dance like he never did lol. This boy is very crazy! Anyway, it was cool to spend this time with Melanie and all of my friends.For the people who know that Melanie gave her heart to Jesus this summer you have to know that we continue to take care of her, we spend more time with her and she comes often at Hillsong Church (our new church) with us. I pray God that he continues to bless her and she stays close to him.
