3 MORE DAYS!!!

Alright well it's been a few days so heres a summary:

Sunday--served 65 people with 3 of us...fun fun. Then had a soiree in the evening with the whole equipier, staff, and some friends from Froges. I learned how to make crepes the real french way minus our little technological crepe maker back home. We had the meal crepes and then Junhio's fiance and I made dessert crepes for everyone. Also my mom, dad, sis and of course mel (because she's basically one of the fam anyways) called and I got to talk to them for the first time on the phone since I've been here. Yikes I am bad at calling/ talking to people on the phone! Then if the evening wasn't amazing enough Monica was at Dana's church to lead youth group and I got to talk to her on skype!!!! I had forgotten how happy I can be when I'm with my friends or even just talking to them. Mike was sooo surprised how excited and energetic I got. He says that I never act that way here! Well for those of you back home I guess that's some kudos to u all...u make me happier than anyone else possibly can:)

Monday--We slept. Actually I slept and Kristin made pies. Because she is amazing and I totally got her into it...teheh. There are two canadien girls here and it was Canadien Thanksgiving, so being the bright one that I am I decided we had to have a special meal. Sadly we were going to a meeting last night so it turned into a pie gouter kinda thing. Then I also ended up sleeping through the entire making of the pies and got up just in time to sit in the salle d'equiper with Mike smelling and yummy pies cooking away! In the evening we went to Grenoble for a dinner and presentation by the local Intervarsity type program. David decided to drive a group of us so we would have more space and we ended up having a little adventure on the way. I love these kids soooo much! So first we decided all the tall people would go in the littlest car...great judgment we all have! So Mike, Doris, Justin, David, and I crammed into the clio and headed to Grenoble. Only one issue, none of us knew how to get there. We almost missed our exit and ended up trying to follow Blain (who drives like he's from Texas...o wait he is) and crossing 4 lanes of traffic to get to our exit! The truck driver we cut off was really happy, especially when all of us turned around and waved! HAHA. As you can see the evening was enjoyable for all involved. The ride home wasn't that boring either, between having to negotiate our way home and not being able to see anything because o yea we broke the heat/AC in the clio! When we got back we watched a movie and we actually went to bed before 2 AM, for the first time in 2 weeks!

On today:
Plans for Paris are underway. Emmy and I spent the entire morning cooking lunch and dinner for camp and also planning exactly where Kristin and I must visit. It's neat to have the perspective of someone who really knows their way around and knows exactly what to see if you only have a day in Paris. I'm actually getting excited for Thursday. Before today I was just dredding having to lug everything through the city and just kinda stressed about figuring out Paris on top of flying home, but not anymore!
We also cleaned all of chartreusse today and had a most entertaining lunch. I love mealtimes here. I've heard complaints about how long the French eat, yet I love it. I love sitting forever and just talking to everyone. I'm also actually getting to speak french at meals. The dinner we ate out on Monday night we only really spoke french!
Right now we're sitting and checking up on emails, writing an update for ya'll and cleaning the salle d'equipier! The students have three classes today which is sad because we're leaving for AWANA's this evening. I am sooo excited! I love my kids sooo much and I love making Lewis speak with his scottish accent!
As I was typing both Jonny Garrett ( a friend from camp) and Dana came on skype. This led to about a 2 hour break and some long conversations. I love talking to people from back home! Anyways on that note I'm going to go do a devo and hang out with Mike and Doris as they just finished work for the day. Hope all is good back home and we'll see you all in three days! It's pretty funny to think that this weekend we will be with you all. It's especially weird as we're sitting here in France talking in french and looking out on the french alps...strange. Tomorrow we pack and then Thursday it's off for Paris and Friday home to America! It's going to be an insane two weeks!
