C'est bon de revenir (It's good to be back)



It's as if I had never left.  Transitioning back to life in Montreal was very smooth.  It was so easy to jump right into the enjoyment of the Lord with all the saints.  This morning, after having my personal time with the Lord, I found my breakfast made for me.  Thanks bros!  Don't worry Pa and Ma, the saints are taking good care of me.


So I've got one more day in Montreal then I head out for Quebec City.  I found out that the mother of my home stay family was a French teacher before, so that should be a big help in my learning of French.

Below are some photos of Annette, a very cheerful baby at our home meeting yesterday.  She's the sister of Vanya, Koyla, Misha, and Masha, who are a family who migrated to Montreal from Ukraine a few years ago.




And to end, I'll share some recent enjoyment in the Word.  As I went for a run yesterday afternoon, I sat down at a park and the Lord gave me this verse: Ephesians 2:22, “in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in spirit.”  I appreciated to see that God's dwelling place is not a physical building, but the mingling of God and man in our spirit.  We need to have an uplifted view of the brothers and sisters, to see that they are God's habitation.  God desires a building, but He cannot gain this if we remain as individual believers.  We must be a group built together by being in our mingled spirit.
