D'accord!
Well, we went to our ballet class on saturday afternoon. it was a great success. Anne is a fantastic teacher and person that is just fun to be around. She is very understanding with our still progressing french and it's fun interacting with her. She's the first person outside the institute we have gotten to interact with thus far but I know there will be a prayer meeting this week sometime and people from the community come to that as well. we're looking forward to our next class this coming Saturday althou i don't think my legs have quite recovered from the last time. (we live on the third floor as well so there's a lot of stair climbing being done daily)
They finally got us started on our cleaning on sunday. "Maman" taught us how to clean the bathrooms and that is our responsibility everyday now. every other day we have to do a deep clean and the days in between are for "contrôle" (make sure everything is tidy and change towels).
Ironically enough, there was a large group from King that arrived Monday night for dinner. Another way the institute brings in income is to help out groups by showing them around Normandy and being a tour guide. it was great seeing some familiar faces and getting to visit with them. it was a long night with so many people in the dining room but a blessing as well.
we got to start working in the café bar for the students. and i think that's our favorite part. we get to hang out with the students while we all work on our french and sell them things. it's only bad because we keep wanting to buy things for ourselves. katie really has a problem with the chocolate. i'm doing okay so far...althouth, i am very accident prone as most of you know. last night i was closing the shutters right at the end of my shift and didn't realize the crank had a mind of its own and it whipped right around and smacked me right in the forehead. it still hurts a little bit. everyone in the café was worried about my safety except for katie. she was practically rolling on the floor she was laughing so hard. guess i can't say much tho because i would've have done the same thing. it's a danger zone here tho. someone also thought it'd be smart to put these light on the wall right next to my head. yeah. i think you can see how this story ends.
well, i need to go run and help with lunch help.
prayer requests:
- katie is still having trouble with her bank card not working here. pray that it all gets resolved as soon as possible.
- my safety, all minor things so far. cuts and bruises. pas mal
- and still for our french and the students. they seem to be doing well and liking the new professor a lot
à bientôt,
Amber et Katie
