Bonjour, bonsoir, et salut tout le monde!
I hope you've all had a fantastic week, I know I have!
To start, on Tuesday we had a crazy strong thunderstorm come out of nowhere. The wind was so strong that it was blowing over some of the weaker structures. We were in the middle of a lesson which was, as all of our lessons are, outside. But the friends we were teaching were kind enough to let us hide out in their home during the storm. So we spent an hour or two in the pitch black with these friends, listening to the rain pound against the metal roof. We said a lot of prayers during that time. It became a very calm, spiritual experience despite the craziness that was going on around us.
The sun here is really strong. When the sun is especially strong, they say "Le soleil frappe" which means "the sun hits." I think that's an accurate statement. I've gotten some pretty gnarly burns. But all has turned out well and I've been able to handle it.
One of my favorite things that happened this week involves two of our friends, Ren and Arnaud. A lot of people here make money by going out for days at a time and working in the big fields. Well Ren and Arnaud came back a whole day early, sacrificing the pay for that day to make sure they would be at church on Sunday. What a fantastic example those two have set for me this week.
It's been a good week this week. Every day I become more and more grateful that I was called to serve here. As difficult as it can be sometimes, this is really the best place for me to be. I love you all and hope you have a great week!
