Les aventures...

J`aime être une touriste.... j`aime faire des nouveaux amis.... j`aime les défis...

Can`t believe it has been 7 weeks of school at this point! I am happy to say that I am picking up more French and not feeling as much like a tourist! I am loving my roomies... and my friends at school & church! It is pretty amazing that no matter where we go we can be connected to a bigger family!

I feel like I have been learning so much at school! I look forward to my guitar lesson each week with my talented prof. :) And who knew I would love researching and writing papers! Getting into the swing of things... it is starting to get busy! Currently working on a paper on Leadership... loving all that I am learning!

The aptitude of a leader determines the effectiveness of a person. - John Maxwell

A characteristic of a leader is discipline - they work while others waste time, they study while others sleep, they pray while others play. - Oswald

Fun little things these past couple of weeks...



.... apple picking - a tradition in Quebec to go to the apple orchard farms to pick your own apples! A new friend Afiwa took me to explore the countryside with her brother and his girlfriend! We had a great time and snacked on lots of apples while we were picking!



... botanical gardens - being whisked away to the Orient with the latern display! What a fun evening with some new friends! And we got to visit the insectarium and look at hairy tarantulas!

... an intestive week with two talented worship leaders - Stéphane Quéry and Dan Luiten! What a priviledge to hear their passion for God, music, and others! And to finish off the week we created a song! It isn`t easy collaborating with a group of 8 people, but at the same time it was very rewarding!


... Toby Mac concert - ran into a friend that I met 3 years ago in Vancouver as I got to volunteer with Compassion Canada! It is a small world!




... suprise bday party for my roomie Julie! At the café her friends told her they wanted to pick up a dessert, but there we all were ready for a delicious chocolate fondue! Mmm...

... ice hockey - after an amazing save I was feeling all fired up to skate around and CRASH! I collided with another player and fell and re-dislocated my shoulder! I am praying for a quick recovery!
