Well...our last week in Montpellier has come to an end.  Boy are we going to miss this congregation! It's been a busy week in the ministry, trying to pack, sell our car, get in a little sun and normal day to day stuff.  

I was so happy to finally receive a call from my return visit Aicha from Senegal.  She wanted to met up with us on Saturday afternoon.  Her phone was not working and she was hoping that we did not think she forgot about us.  She said that ever since she met us (JW) that she has a new viewpoint/outlook on life and feels happier and better (and she looks it too).  It's so nice to hear how much people appreciate the kingdom message.  She is the one that has a friend from Nigeria.  She has not been able to reach her friend though for us to meet her.  She thought the friend would be interested since she is christian.  Well on the way out Aicha looked over and said "there's my friend".  She was sitting there just a couple tables away from us!  The friend asked if we were JW's because we looked like it.  She has studied in the past and said a sister has been trying to get her to restart her study...that sister happens to be in our congregation! So hopefully she will realize how she is being searched out and start her study again...

Chris also has been trying to reach his study, Loic, from Cameroon to say goodbye.  He has been extremely busy with studies and exams.  But he finally called Chris back and wanted to meet to say goodbye on Friday.  So we met him and encouraged him to make time for his spirituality since he sees the importance and spent a little time with him.  Then we said goodbye and just as we were leaving, Chris asked if he knew anyone that is looking for a car.  He answered that his mom was.  So we drove him home to show his mom the car.  She loved the car and said she didn't need to drive it cause we were friends of her sons.  So we arranged to come back before meeting today.  Just like that...car sold...amazing to see everything "fit" into place.  

So now it is time to say goodbye to Montpellier.  Tomorrow we leave for Paris.  We will spend 3 nights there and then home on Thursday night.  Although we miss home, it will be sad to leave...many great memories!  We will see you all this time next week...A bientôt!
