Well today began with a reunion for the staff here at camp. Blain led a devotion from 2 Samuel 15. It was much shorter than last week allowing Doris, Kristin, and I a chance to actually understand some of what he was saying. Ushually they conduct the entire reunion en francais so basically we all sit there attempting to understand the general gist of what is going on, but its slowly getting to be more and more. Today I can honestly say that I understood most if not all of what Blain said. Of course the things I didnt understand just happened to be the same things that I really needed to know as an equipier for DEFI. Life always seems to work like that around here!
DEFI will begin this coming Monday so we are busy redoing the kitchen and polishing all the furniture. To help us with the kitchen we have Daniel, Uget, and Henri. They are all amazing! Henri is basically your stereotypical little french old man. He is soooo cute and funny! Today he made us listen to ballroom music and then gave us a little lesson in dancing. It was so much fun. He also let us paint part of the kitchen and as you all probably know I love paint! I love to make a mess with paint and I love to get others messy with paint. Basically poor Doris and Kristin when I was through with them!
This evening we had a real french meal. Uget has been very busy teaching us the in's and out's of french cooking! It's been exciting learning to cook with her and also learning french with her. This group of adults is really good at explaining when we make mistakes and I think I have learned so much in the few short days they have been here already! I find that listening has allowed me to expand my vocabulary by leaps and bounds. Especially when you have someone like Henri to tell you exactly what you did wrong and when in perfect english, german, or french!
Well it's time for some One Tree Hill with the girls! Happy Septmeber 11th!
