Month: July 2012

We woke up with a beautiful view on the hills around the farmhouse where we are staying. The morning was relaxing. The children fed the sheep and went on the tractor. Afterwards, we took off to visit Aberystwyth. We walked along the seaside and went to town. Later, Esthers’ cousin came to the house in Goginan with his family.

In the evening, I spoke at the Welsh Evangelical Church. It is a prayerful group who shows a lot of interest in our work. It was a real privilege to be able to see them again and share with them about what the Lord is doing in Brittany.

It was another good day. We started slowly and hanged around at the Christofides’ and left around 11. We initially planned to go to town, but finally decided to have lunch at one2two, Heath Church’s tea room and bookshop. We had good food for cheap, and saw a few friends there. We’ll be visiting the Heath Church next week.

After that, we took off for Aberystwyth. It was raining most of the way, but we still enjoyed some nice views. After tea, I went to speak about the work at Alfred Place Baptist Church. A few people new Guingamp and have been there several times, but they didn’t know about the church. It was a good meeting, with a lot of questions at the end. Afterwards, people came to speak to me. This meeting being the first on our tour of Wales, I struggled a bit to start with, but it eventually got better.

Now for a good night sleep and a relaxed day tomorrow.

We arrived in the UK on Saturday afternoon after a beautiful crossing. The see was a bit choppy, but the sun was shining and we ended up spending most of the time on the deck. The kids were great considering it was a 6 hours ferry crossing.

We then made our way to Clevedon for our first stop. Brian and Viv, from Clevedon Evangelical church hosted us for the night, and I preached in there in the morning. In the afternoon, we made our way to Cardiff, our second stop on the road. I preached in St Mellons Baptist Church. We stayed overnight with their minister, Andy Christofides.

Today, we’re off to Aberystwyth for two nights. I’ll be speaking in Alfred Place Baptist church tonight and the Welsh evangelical church tomorrow.
