Our meeting in Nova Scotia

We had a super meeting in Nova Scotia. The people of the church were very missions minded and knew our names before we even arrived. We stayed with Pastor and Mrs. Dodd and they were the perfect hosts. They gave us their bed and the other 2 bedrooms upstairs while they slept in the basement on a blow-up mattress. How Sweet! They truly have a servant's heart and made us feel so at home. Every service they brought in each of the flags of the missionaries that they already support. Then, they brought in the 3 flags representing the three countries the three missionaries they had are going to. When our french flag came by us we were supposed to stand. We loved it!

On Saturday they had a banquet. They decorated each table according to the 3 countries represented. They made our table look like a french flag with red, white and blue flowers.

They had these candy holders at our table too. (Don't worry, Mom, I saved you one!)

While waiting at the banquet, the children all colored flags. It was neat to have a nice banquet, but kid friendly, too!

On Sunday, they asked our girls if they would do the honor of carrying in the French flag.

On the way back to Quebec we decided to go through Maine again. You either have the choice to go north through New Brunswick and Quebec. You save about 45 minutes, but pay a whole lot more for gas and food. Or, you can go through south through Maine. In parts of Maine the colors are still very vibrant, it's so gorgeous!

Now, we're back in Quebec. Tomorrow I have my first prenatal appointment with the midwife at the Birth Center. I do have to say I am a little nervous. Please pray that the language barrier will be non-existent tomorrow and that I will feel comfortable about having the baby here. When we toured the birth center, we loved it! Now, I'm just not so sure about things. Please pray as we make decisions and try to do what it best for our family and new baby.
