Kick-off weekend!

I just spent this past weekend in the twin cities for kick-off weekend to our France summer project!! It was so amazing, and has made the trip so much more of a reality! I got to meet everyone that will be on my team with me (there will be 27 of us). Everyone is so much fun, we are already like family! It was sweet to learn more about France, the culture, what to expect. My heart is beginning to break more for the French students...they are just so indifferent as to what they believe. Many of them may have heard about God, but they have never experienced him, haven't felt love like that, so sharing our lives with them and how we've experienced God will be huge!
Its such a different culture...no sweatpants, no shorts...I'll have to go shopping or else just stick out I guess! It is going to be hard, we have to avoid eye contact on the streets in France...and SMILING! How crazy is that?!

This is where I'll keep updates of my trip, though, so I'm not sure how often, but if you want to see whats going on you can check here.

Peace!
