I know it's not Thanksgiving anymore, but Happy Thanksgiving anyways. We actually will not even even celebrate until Saturday. We spent thursday in school all day, and it actually snowed a little in the morning and we were happy. Then we woke up friday and all was white! It continued to snow to the tune of around oh I don't know 18 inches. I know for you northerners its not that big of a deal but that is a lot of snow for us southerners. Anyways here a few pics of our first snow here in Albertville. It's supposed to snow for another 2 or 3 days. Too coooool....
By the way, our french is getting better. We have our days that are sometimes frustrating and we realize just how difficult it is to learn a new language within such a short period of time! Anyways, we won't be doing anything to exciting in the near future, except for maybe around Christmas, but you can check back and see how we are doing from time to time. Oh and yes to Holley with your comment. All the cool things we are getting to see and experience here does make the wait to Cameroon a little bit easier.
A tout à l'heure
I promise this is not rigged. I have never seen a sign so happy that it snowed. :-) 
Sorry the pics are not in any order. This was taken about 3:00pm when the sun started breaking through the clouds. The Savoie region that we live in is such a beautiful place!
Kristen and other students warming up during our Friday morning worship time.
With a few ingredients and and little help from God with providing the snow, Kristen made some delicious snow cream. Yum Yum...
Joel and the Giant. Matt is a fellow student who hopefully will stay in France after his studies and work with youth. A really great guy, just not someone to stand next to when your trying to look tall.
This was right in front of our house at about 7:15am. We were really excited. I know we are silly.
It was still coming down at 10:30am. We spent our whole 15 minute break playing in the snow.
I guess it would just be easier to walk!!!

MISS YOU GUYS TERRIBLY BUT THANK THE LORD FOR THE WWW-
MAYBE WE COULD GET A LITTLE SNOW HERE IN ALABAMA THIS YEAR- I WOULD LOOK AS HAPPY AS YOUR SIGN...
Joel, you are just too witty!!! You could be a writer if you weren't a missionary!! Your pics are awesome and just wish we were there with you to play in the snow!! Looks so fun! Missed you both during Thanksgiving, but I was sick and missed it too. Oh well, keep up the COOL pictures. Snow is cool isn't it? Miss you too, Krissy!!! Love you both, MOM
A tout to you too!!! What does that mean anyway? Love, MOM
Hey guys, I know you believe in "signs" and wonders but that is stretching it, isn't it? Neatest sign I've seen! Loved it, Mom Cathy again!
Hey Kristen and Joel,
I have had you on my mind as the year is coming to a close. I pray that all is well, and it looks like it is:) The kids are growing up and I still tell Aaron I am taking him to Africa when you get there, but from the pics it looks like I need to visit France too! I enjoy seeing the pics and hearing about your adventures.
Love, Julie, Del, Aaron, Rachel, and Rebekah Clayton
I love the pictures! The snow is amazing. And best of all you had SNOW CREAM!!! Some people don't even know what that is!!! My mom makes it every time it snows... I miss that about home. 'Cause you know in South Texas we don't see a lot of the white stuff. The sign was cool. Looks like Santa if you ask me.
We are praying for you guys-
Love ya both.
Wow - I want some snow! Or maybe I can just take a trip to France.. ;-)
I hope you guys are having a fabulous winter!
