We've Arrived!

After a long 8.5 hour (and thankfully uneventful) flight, we landed in Paris shortly after 6 a.m. though our bodies are still operating on EST (which tell us that we should be sleeping about now!). 

Finding our bags in the Paris airport!
We were happily greeted by Eric and Lorenzo from the church who transported us to the small village where we're staying.  We are all staying in the same house which gives us a "safe haven" after the work days that are ahead of us this week.

When we arrived this morning, Sandrine (another church team member) had a beautiful breakfast waiting for us.  We enjoyed coffee, OJ, croissants, chocolate croissants, cheese, prosciutto.  It was so sweet to be served like this as soon as we arrived.


For the rest of today (Sunday) we are having a lunch at the church to meet folks there and then we're being taken on a tour of a nearby castle.  Work starts tomorrow and we are all very excited (though admittedly tired!) to be here and to get the work complete.

Stay tuned for more updates!
