Teddy on a Mission

Just so you know, I am a traveling bear. This is a place where I can share text & pictures of the fun (and hopefully worthwhile) things I do with my unparents, Ken and Marijke.

Name:
Location: Greer, South Carolina, United States

I started this blog for the bear-loving friends in my church mostly since they were kind enough to send me on a mission trip to France. That was in 2006. Hopefully I'll get to go on other trips, too (like this most recent extended trip in 2009). But my main mission is to bear each blessed day with gratitude.

Market Day in Belzat - and Church in Royat


Saturdays in Europe aren't complete without a visit to the local market. And naturally that means an investigation of the town as well. This particular day was spent in Belzat, France near Clermont-Ferrand. Very pretty.


















And Sundays are more complete if they're spent worshiping with fellow believers! Naturally it's helpful for us to find a service in English - like this one in Royat but we didn't expect to find people in the congregation who spoke 'Southern'!

Unfortunately, Marijke lost battery power on her camera at that hour; she would have loved to have gotten a picture of me with the Greer folk we met. They had just moved to France (with Michelin, of course) and seemed to be settling in nicely with the local church and community. I wonder how they translate 'y'all' into french?

Don't you just love it when God gives you surprises? - Teddy
