Well once again we have finished a rather hectic weekend here at camp. As I type the 160 people who where here for lunch and gouter are slowly beginning to leave. This weekend Sam's church came to camp. This means that since we have visited his church and youth group we knew most if not all of the people invading champfleuri. It was sooo nice to see them all again. One of the funniest parts of the weekend was when everyone arrived we greated each other by kissing both cheeks (bisoux) if you know the person. So turns out Kristin and I now "know" the whole church so we spent a good portion of yesterday kissing random french people on the cheeks! A bit different for us, but yet when we don't do bisoux it's actually beginning to feel strange. When some of the DEFI students got here and were not french I knew immediatly as they didnt do it!
The most exciting part of the weekend was seeing Laura from camp STEVE who recently moved to Grenoble for university and who also attends this church. Basically everyone we know goes here...once again that small christian community that is france! We got to spend all afternoon catching up and just talking. It felt pretty strange to talk to her again not at steve and yet to be at camp, but it was stranger for her as she was actually going to sleep in the same room and same bed as camp! I love this church so much because more than half of the church are teenagers Kristin and my age and most of them are girls that I already know or guys that I met through Sam. We got to play a bunch of games, attend a wonderful church service (where they served communion in glasses that we all drank from and it was real wine...oops haha), sing, and hang out with everyone again. I love this church and all the amazing people. It's funny but I feel so at home with them, maybe more at home than In New England sometimes. They just greet you and then try so hard to communicate with you...its really nice.
Of course the whole weekend was filled with practical jokes, some dancing, and never ending singing! I love working with the groups on the weekend. There's tons of work, but Sam makes me smile so it's all good. I love hanging out with Sam and Jonathon. It's funny but in just a couple weeks I feel so comftorble with them. Sam now takes us to his church and is still trying to get us to his youth group again. He is taking us shopping and is amazing! Basically the best petite frere in the entire world. Right now he is going to dance for us...yes!
