Last Day

Today was my last day in Paris. I have some days inbetween travelling, but those don't really count. I slept, watched the rain, and hung out and read. Then we left to have a going away party, and it was a lot of fun. It was supposed to be a surprise, but we knew...but it was my first surprise party. I love the people here, so I will surely miss then. I have great pictures and would love to share them with anyone who hasn't seem them. Lots of stories as well. Be back in a week and a day. Looking forward to it, but it's hard to say goodbye.

new pics

hey..i added some new photos from a boat cruise we took and some of mani...you all should check them out.

MOUNTAINS!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh how I miss the mountains dearly and God knew it and he allowed me to come to dear Switzerland. I am so greatful. The view is amazing. There's the lake and then mountains all around...wonderful. Work, however, is hard. We are doing surveys and it is hard to stand outside all afternoon and only get a few people to actually do surveys. Thursday was wonderful we each made contacts and hopefully we will have meetings with them next week. Last week we had six girls living in our apartment, but one went back home this weekend...wow, so now five in the same small apartment. It's like a slumber party for a whole month. Almost dorm life, but not quite because I have my own room and I don't have to share the bathroom with as many people. I have been reading two books this week. Jesus the One and Only and Captivating wonderful books that are soothing to my soul. When I get back to the states there is so much that I must tell. One month minus a day until I am home. That is exciting and sad all the same. For the last week I might be going to Strasbourg, France to meet up with an International Student. I am really excited to be able to talk to her and get to know her in her own culture. This week we will be on the street Tuesday-Friday/Saturday for surveys and we might have visits as well. Be in prayer for us, so that we might not be discouraged. I added some photos that Marie took in her garden...it's really pretty, you might want to steal them for your computer's background. God bless...Rachelle

Latest...

Since I've been here I've read a number of books. This week I finished The Five Love Languages for Singles and Sacred Romance. They are wonderful...highly reccomended. I need to find something else to read, but I'm afraid with the OM girls moving in on Tuesday there won't be too much time to read. There will be 6 of us in our little apartment, crazy, however, Judith leaves on July 12 to go back to Germany. I will be gone this up coming weekend to Switzerland and then two weekends later Melanie will go to London. Anyway that's just the little update for what's coming up in the future. I have about 5 weeks left. Still not sure what I'll be doing the first week of August. I find out soon who my International Ambasador partner will be in two weeks so maybe I can go visit that person, whomever they will be.
