FYI -

My family and I recently visited the Musee du Desert in Mialet, France (see
www.museedudesert.com <http://www.museedudesert.com/>; for details).

I _strongly_ encourage anyone of Huguenot descent to make a "pilgrimage" to
this exceptional site. You will be encouraged by the faith and courage of
your ancestors and will be more determined to stand for the truth for which
they suffered.

You will need someone with you who speaks/understands French to make the
most of the experience.

The museum is in a rural setting and has two parts. The first is a model of
a Huguenot home and includes many original objects like their Bibles and
pulpits. The Assembly and Bible rooms themselves are worth the trip. The
second part is a sober dedication to the Huguenot martyrs and refugees.

We have young children and even they profited from the experience as we
talked them through the museum and explained how our ancestors suffered for
their faith in God and His word. There are many paintings on the walls,
which portray the outdoor meetings and the suffering of those imprisoned or
fleeing.

We also spent some significant time in Geneva, the city of refuge for many
Huguenots. Few understand nor remember that much of the great wealth of the
city was on account of the principled and dedicated Huguenots.

I hope that this word of endorsement will cause at least one list subscriber
to go to Mialet.
