Cap, As in Re-Cap

So Sunday was basically amazing. Waking up at 11:35 is just something I feel God is calling me to do more, but I may be reading the signals wrong. Anyways, hung out, got invited by my host parents to go to some Napoleonic mansion outside Paris to look at old porcelain, which I declined. Hung out. Then I left at 5ish to what is probably going to be my beacon of light over these next 5.4ish weeks till Christmas Break (can you tell I’m counting down?).

And this thing is the table group (kind of home/discussion group) with people from the church I went to Friday. There was me and 5 other awesome people, and I was the youngest by probably 9 years as they are all in their late 20s, which is fine by me, balances out all the high schoolers I see daily. I guess when I got there on time Justin/Jen (the people whose house it was at) knew I wasn’t French because, welp, I was on time. I met this awesome guy named Paul who’s from New Zealand who did a Rotary Exchange almost 10 years ago to Switzerland, and now lives in Paris and started a bike tour company with another guy at the church. It was amazing to talk to him, share some stories, and get advice and encouragement. Thank you Rotary for sending so many freaking people every year on exchanges, so at least I’m not as alone as I feel sometimes. But anyways, we drank some wine, some pop, some beer, and talked while the food was being cooked. The three other guys there are so nice and easy to get along with, so I felt perfectly comfortable for one of the few times since I’ve been here. We then ate, and had bible study. It was amazing to just dig into the word again with other people and bounce ideas and thoughts off of each other and get extremely off topic. It reminded me of bible study with Adam, minus all my best friends. Overall it was a great night, and that will be every Sunday night so definitely something to look forward to during the week.

Today, went to school, read a crap load, and just watched the most intense Lost episode probably ever.

That's right! Going to hippy church is so much cooler than getting drunk in Polish pubs...unfortunately we don't have a hippy church! But it's still kind of cool here! I've figured out a lot...and that in the times when life sucks it's just a reminder that hanging with Jesus makes things 100% better! I think that's why God sent me to Poland...because it sucks here a lot and makes me rely on him more! -Good Stuff Brent!
