Le Papillon

My trip to Oregon and Washington went very well. Friday night I got off work at 19:00, went to French and finished at 20:00. When I finally went to bed it was 21-21:30... waking up at 01:15 was therefore quite the task! My plane departed Denver at 05:30 and I had a 2 hour drive from Portland to Neskowin, near Pacific City, when I landed. Needless to say, that was a long day! However I had a great time with my hosts. They took me out to the beach and we enjoyed the beautiful day. Pacific City is much like Breckenridge, that is, without the mountains- it is a tourist and retirement destination.

Sunday mourning I spoke in Pacific City and was able to visit with some friends from college, Morgan and Krista Motsinger. Sadly I was not able to hang around for another day as I was to speak in Roy, Washington at 18:00 that evening. It was a 4-4.5 hour drive so it was close. Otherwise my hosts were going to take me fishing on the ocean the following day!!! Next time I will make more time!

Thankfully I arrived in Roy on time. I had diner with the Schnetz's, tried to learn all 10 of their names and shared with their church God's calling on my life. Afterwards we fellowshiped over ice cream and volleyball. Monday Parker, my friend from college, and I (sadly Courtney was sick) went to Seattle. We walked around Seattle and Pike's Place Market. Later I met up with my cousin Josias Lambert who has recently moved out there and he showed me Tacoma and took me to diner for some great clam chowder.

Tuesday I arrived home around 17:00. It was a whirlewind trip but I thouroughly enjoyed every bit! Both churches were great and I loved getting to share my passion and meeting all the people!

While I was driving home from Denver I received a call from the French Consulate. They had the final document needed for my Visa. The Visa was printing out at that moment and was being mailed that day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your prayers!!!
