updates! The only thing is when you go a little bit without updating, a million things pile up that you would have liked to have write about. Like I would love to tell you about the crazy night I had over at my new friend Zahra's house. She's from Algeria and she invited me over for cous cous. There I was in her house in the west of France and I felt like I was in the middle of northern africa! She had Algerian pictures up, and middle eastern music was blasting from her speakers. I tried several interesting food that I have no idea what they were--some of them tasted great, some just interesting. I'm excited because my team is planning on having her family and friends over for an American meal soon. We were thinking some fried chicken with sweet tea and biscuts, or maybe just some chicken and dumplings.
Food here is definetly amazing. I'll admit it, we went out to eat as a team last Friday and had a wonderful time here. Food is a HUGE part of French culture. It's not just nourishment to the body to them, it's nourishment to the soul! I'll tell you one thing, I was definetly singing the hallelujah (I just realized that after growing up in the church, I have no idea how to spell hallelujah:). And honestly, let me say that the french have a right to brag about their food.

It's been hard trying to find good places to plug into. The whole big beautiful city of Nantes is out there, with over 700,000 people who don't know the beauty of knowing Christ. Good thing God is big and has big plans for this city and each individual who is inside of it.
Please pray that God will show me what direction to go to start doing his work in this beautiful city!
Love ya'll's:)
