Their goal was to honor us and to bless us.  They wanted us to relax and have a lovely time at their home.  They invited the pastor's mother also.  She's just a few months younger than me and we are friends.  We did have a lovely time.  The food was delicious.  The children were delightful and very respectful.  They attend an English school so even the four year old can speak in English.  They speak French at home so they are growing up bi-lingual.  They live in an apartment complex that has the obligatory dreadful stairs.  And of course they live on the second floor.  But other than that, it was a lovely evening all the way around.  They showed us pictures of their lives, dating back to before they got married.  We traveled with them to South Africa via pictures where they received special training.  And we attended his graduation from seminary.  He received the outstanding student award.  There were darling pictures of the boys all dressed up in look-alike outfits.  And they even had pictures that we had taken of them when they were at Shiloh.  It's a lovely family and we are honored to call them our friends.
