Hey again... So I have only been in France for a little over 2 months but time is flying by so quickly already! I'm so happy that rotary makes us switch Families.

I got to go to the swimming pool for swimming lessons again which I really liked and enjoyed getting to swim again. Then the host mom and I went to the movies.

I would like to thank everyone who made this week a little bit easier for me. =) I really appreciate all the prayers and uplifting messages. School is starting to get a lot better for me because the teachers are starting to understand that i'm here for the Language and the Culture not just for grades. The student's could not be nicer many people ask me to have lunch with them everyday and I feel like I always have a friendly face to look to if i'm feeling extreemly lost during the lesson. Students here really try to help me out [View Full Entry]
