Pictures from my trip to Europe... finally!

Last month Sheri & I spent two weeks in Europe. Our first day of travel on our way to Geneva we had an 11 hour layover in Lisbon, Portugal. Amazingly, I actually have friends in Portugal, so we got to see them and didn't have to spend all day in the airport, which was a huge blessing! I met Steve & Julie at my language acquisition training in Colorado this past May. They are in Portugal doing their language training to learn Portuguese before they move on to another part of Africa themselves. Anyway, it was truly a picture of God's Sovereignty & Providence because they were able to meet us at the airport and then took us downtown so we could actually experience & see some of Lisbon. So cool!

After our long layover, we were on our way to spending the 1st week in France. We had a blast driving around the eastern part of France that lies right along the border of Switzerland. A missionary couple who lives in a quaint town there invited us to come for a week and visit this beautiful part of the world. Sheri & I had such a great time exploring on our own, driving along Lake Geneva, and just simply relishing the fact that we got to see France in the fall - it was beautiful!

The 2nd week we spent in a small town at the top of the Alps in Switzerland to attend CrossWorld's All Europe Conference. Now I know you're probably wondering why we were attending the All Europe Conference since Senegal is very obviously NOT in Europe. Well, since we have yet to coordinate an All Africa Conference, we were blessed to be invited to share in this conference... and who would deny this opportunity... especially since it was in Switzerland! The mountains were absolutely breath-taking and there was many a time that I found myself walking around just completely amazed at the fact that I was in Switzerland! It was also so great to be able to meet so many wonderful people who have such big hearts to serve God. They were all so inspiring and truly encouraging... especially for me, since I'm just starting out. What a gift & a blessing!! Hope you enjoy my pictures.
