We are in Paris.

After a long 9 and 1/2 hour flight, we are in the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. Some were able to sleep on the plane. But those of us in the middle seat between two strangers, as I was, found sleeping to be a difficult task. Those who were not able to sleep have ordered cappacino. It is stronger in Paris than in the states. We are hanging out at gate C81. Some are shopping for Paris bargins. Others are using Euros for the first time. Some on [Photo]the team are trying to catch a nap. We are all tired, but we still have a way to go. We will be in Abidjan by 6:30 this evening after another six hours on a plane. Tomorrow we will spend much of the day in worship with our Ivoirian hosts. I am really looking forward to the opportunity to worship in a different cultural context with a people who are passionate about their faith. What a blessing that will be. We will take plenty of pictures and tell you all about it tomorrow.
