On the road again...

Eight weeks have come and gone so quickly, I can't even believe it! and after a very special time here in Montreal, I’m packed up and ready to go again… this time to Trois-Pistoles, Quebec. This week has been a very good but crazy last week, finishing up work, last events, spending time with my new friends here in Montreal. So much has happened so quickly, and I realize I’ve yet to wrap my head around the magnitude of what I’ve learned from my experiences here. So my reflections on the last 8 weeks here, unfortunately, are still in-the-making… but I hope to share with you sometime soon in the future.

As I’m heading off to tiny-town Trois Pistoles… please do pray for me for a few things:

- That I’ll settle in quickly to yet another new place for the summer, and that I wouldn’t be overwhelmed by my French surroundings, and pick up the language quickly! I was really blessed to have spent the last weekend in Quebec City with Gen whose grandparents who don’t speak any English were also visiting from France so I got to practice trying to communicate with them, so thank God for that!


- That I WOULD take the time to reflect on everything that’s been going on and continues to happen this summer, and just to spend with God, to know Him more deeply and love Him more intimately!

-That I’ll make some good friends quickly… I love meeting people, but real friendships to be able to really share life with take time to build. That I wouldn’t hesitate to build real frienships because of the short time we’re together. Also that there might be some other Christians there to fellowship together, and love God and live life for God together, especially after spending the last 8 weeks surrounded by awesome and genuine brothers and sisters in Christ here in Montreal.

- That I might be able to stay with a family (I heard some students in the past have stayed in residence buildings because they’d over-booked students)… and that I’ll be able to have my own room. Sharing a room for the last 2 months here has been a great (stretching at times) learning experience, and I’m blessed to have had it, but I’m also ready to have some time with some personal space too. But if not, that I’ll continue to take my blessings as they come.

Okay, well I gotta run… but hope to be in touch again soon… hope I’ll have access to internet!!

Je vous aime! Merci beaucoup pour vos prières! (Love you and thanks for your prayers !!)
