Internet Access at Last!

Well, the past week was spent in the beautiful French countryside, isolated from the rest of the world, with the other European interns and missionaries from various fields! It was a really precious time for community. The focus: the gospel. I really enjoyed spending time with one another, learning from each other and being in the Word together. This morning we all parted ways and us French folk will be moving into our respective apartments in Paris! This next week will be preparation for the Prayer Conference and getting more acquainted with the metro and navigating the city, as we will be acting tour guides for the participants of the Prayer Conference! God is good! Thank you all for your prayer, support, and encouragement!

Orientation

In one hour we will be arriving at the World Team home office in PA for orientation, where we will meet all the other European interns! We will spend tonight and tomorrow night there and then Thursday we fly out. All of us European interns will be spending the first week together in Paris, living in a gîte (a French holiday home, available for rent), after which the other interns will depart to their respective countries. Thanks again to everyone who is praying for us, all our nervousness has faded into excitement and we can't wait to get on the plane!! -Alex and Jenna

Bonjour

In four short days we will be on our way to Paris and it is still utterly surreal! Another semester has just ended, friends have parted and gone their separate ways for the summer, and I finally have time to sit and mull over my own thoughts. I am excited for whatever happens this summer. I am ready to immerse myself in a new culture and be willing to do whatever is asked of me. I am interning with World Team and I am at their disposal for seven weeks. This trip is very different from the one I went on last March and my South African friends will smile when I say that this time, I truly have no expectations! Thank you to everyone who has provided Alex and I with support and those who are committed to praying for us! We appreciate it greatly! -Jenna
