It's Finally Here!!

After months of anticipation, I've finally arrived in Montpellier! I have so much to tell but so little time.

We've toured the city - I've never been to a more beautiful place in my life. I can't wait to go back to some of the places we saw this afternoon.

One highlight thus far was getting to meet some of the French students involved in Agape - their CRU. They came with the STINTers to meet us last night. They are all so nice and funny. We played games and told stories - my kind of night! I got to talk to one guy for quite awhile, and later got to participate in the French greeting/goodbye among friends - 3 small kisses on alternating cheeks - because of this. It was a blessing to know I've already made a friend here.

We've been to campus once and had a few good conversations. We'll be going back tomorrow (and most days from now on) so I'd really appreciate prayers! Also, here are a few more things to keep in your prayers:

- That God will put a lot of students in our paths early on to give us plenty of time with them.

- That we will be bold, united, well-rested, and stay close to God.

I was reading Acts 5:1-11 today - the story of Ananias and Sapphira keeping some of the profit from selling a field for themselves but giving most of it to the disciples. I pray this is not my story. I pray that I give everything to God this summer and keep nothing for myself.

Until next time!
