Joyeuse Fête de la Saint-Jean-Baptiste !

June 24, 2022June 23, 2022 / battsabroad / Leave a comment

Today is a St. Jean-Baptiste Day, a day to commemorate John the Baptist. And while we had great intentions to write a whole post explaining the holiday, we fell sick with something this week. It isn’t the Big C, according to our rapid home tests. But we also don’t think it’s allergies. So while the … Continue reading Joyeuse Fête de la Saint-Jean-Baptiste !

Hey friends! Happy Father’s Day yesterday to our dads and all the father-like figures God has given us. We’re thankful for you! We’re adjusting well (we think) to life in Quebec.

Here are three fun things from the week! 1. Our kids’ salvations!

For nearly seven years, Allen and I have prayed every day that our kids would accept Christ as their Lord and Savior. And God answered those countless prayers for all three of our children within just twelve hours of each other! Sunday night, as we were praying with the kids before bed, Hudson (age 3) … Continue reading An Answer to Prayer

Thanks so much to everyone who prayed for and encouraged our family this week! Our apartment is starting to feel more and more like home and that’s helping all of us feel more settled.

Prayer Requests

June 7, 2022June 7, 2022 / battsabroad / 1 Comment

A week ago today, we pulled out of Sherbrooke and drove the two hours north to Québec. Our apartment is slowly starting to feel like home (thanks to IKEA and some homemade muffins) but the boxes in our living room are preventing us from really settling. The unease that accompanies a move is manifesting itself … Continue reading Prayer Requests

First Friday in Québec

June 3, 2022June 3, 2022 / battsabroad / Leave a comment

What. A. Week. We have about 10 hours worth of stories from earlier this week that would have you laughing, gasping, groaning, and lamenting with us. From a UHaul pickup fail to forgetting important documents for an important meeting to finally unloading everything into our apartment, it’s been a long and fun and full week. … Continue reading First Friday in Québec

A 20-foot UHaul is loaded and waiting for us outside with a full tank of gas. The Jeep is prepped and there are new movies on the iPad for the kids. Our apartment here in Sherbrooke is empty and clean, waiting for its next tenants. And we're hitting the road early this morning (well, 9am) … Continue reading Today’s the Day!
