It has already been 3 weeks, and it has been a blessing to have this opportunity to be here in Paris! Just quick updates tonight-- pictures to come later!
1. The gospel was share in french class this past week! Definitely divinely appointed (all those who were there), and definitely all God how we were all able do discuss each of our beliefs; thus i, along with others, were able to share our faith in Christ to those who believed in everything from buddha to nothing at all. What was awesome was that this discussion happened in french...not in english!-- def. God right there to give us the right words to speak!
2. I have been blessed with sweet fellowship here with amazing gals who love the Lord! I never knew that i would find friends that all click so well with each other here and in life, but God is good! I'm going to miss them when the first half is over because all of them are here for five weeks and i am here for 10 weeks. To be honest, i was sad thinking about it today because we are all from different states, and because of that, it will be more difficult to hang out with them! i also felt like i would be more lonely next month. However, I pray and trust that God will handle my life here in Paris for the month of July. I am also certain that "friends are friends forever if the Lord is the Lord of them"... :) ... Prayers are welcome and needed in this area.
3. I found a baptist church near my house! I called and confirmed service times, and found that they have services Sunday mornings at 10:30 AM and a bible study on Wed. at 7 PM. I am excited to check it out considering every weekend starting this one coming up will be free until i leave Paris 31-july.
4. Like the title says-- "i love gelato". I've never really L.O.V.E. LOVED ice-cream as much as i do here! I not only think about it, but get it when i can. It is just soooo soooo delicious-- i wish i could mail everyone some gelato (my fav flavor of this month is "cookies") I am most def. going to start running tomorrow.
5. World Cup began Friday!!!! WHOOP! Friday night a group of us went out to a sports bar type place to watch France vs. Uruguay together. It took us awhile to find a good place because it was def. crowded everywhere, so we were only able to catch the end of the game. On Saturday, however, we got really good seats at this Australian pub, and watched the USA vs. England match!!! It was a good game, and super fun because we shared a table with a couple from England. Some of my friends had friends from their hometowns visiting, so that was exciting as well!
I hope everyone is doing well, and I can't wait to see you all again! :)
Love,
Grace
