Let it Snow Let it Snow Let it Snow

I was told that it doesn't snow much in this part of the country but today we got at least 4 inches! I went out this morning to print up some invitation for our Christmas concert coming up, but other than that, I stayed inside and out of the cold. I've actually been getting sick so I'm glad I had two good excuses to just take it easy today.

This past Wednesday I had the opportunity to participate with a short-term mission team that was in Paris for the day. The team broke up into small groups and we went around Paris doing different things like working in a homeless shelter, volunteering at a retirement home, handing out stickers to promote awareness of human trafficking and the need to intervene. Some groups went to the Eiffel Tower to give free group hugs. The French aren't generally huggers but for 3 hours people lined up to get a free hug. We also cleaned out a Christian art gallery, and one missionary couple's home. Then we all gather back up together to go Christmas caroling and then finished off the night at a local French restaurant in town The snow added such a beautiful, Parisian ambiance.
