It’s the kind of thing that you should expect, but you are always surprised and pleased when it happens. A week ago, when we were speaking on Skype with Emmanuel’s dad, he suddenly said “Je veux voir le chat” (I want to see the cat). And today at lunch he started speaking French to our visitor. We were the only ones to understand of course, but it was proper French. Now his Grandparents have arrived, and he babbles happily, going from one language to the other.

Visitors
It was good to meet up with Jonathan today. Jonathan is a British missionary living near St Lunaire, about 120 km away. We were given his details before our move because he and his wife are supported by some churches in Cardiff (he studied in Cardiff and his wife is from Highfields free church). He was in Guingamp for the day and came around for lunch.
Emmanuel’s parents have also come for a long weekend. They travelled through France on the TGV today, and are leaving on Wednesday morning. No need to say that the children were very excited at the thought of seeing their Grandparents.
