les Davey de France

In 2005 Alan, Pat, Gwilym & Catrin Davey moved from North East Wales to Bordeaux. Alan is a pastor and Pat was a nurse. Now we work with UFM worldwide. Read on! (If you'd like to know what took us to Bordeaux, then start with the archives from September 2004)

but you aren't our regulars ...

"there's someone coming down the drive... it's a woman ... it's the JWs." said Pat.

"What ? But Jérôme is away this week and anyway, he always comes in the afternoon."

It was another couple who we've met before. They're Spanish and she speaks better French than he does. Really he speaks Spench or Frenish. Sometimes I can follow him but only because of the Spanish I done years ago. (Faut dire la hora, les gens suivan..) Anyway...

We sat down and talked. We talked about life in Spain under Franco. Coming to France. Them becoming JWs. The Bible in Spain and in France. Why the JWs do so well in RC countries. We compared JW and RC. We read from Romans 1 and 10, Psalm 19, Psalm 104.

I said, "if you want to come again, you come. We'll read the Bible together. I am not interested in doing the studies in the magazines, but we can read the Bible together if you want." Do pray for the Spanish couple. They're a lovely couple and remind me of dear friends in North Wales.
