Bonjour! It has been quite a while since the last time I was able to blog. There have been so many wonderful things that have happened over the past few days, that I don't even know where to begin! On Monday and Tuesday, while we were still at CTS, we were able to get so much work done. We had two very long days, doing a lot of landscaping and cleaning around the campus. I cannot even tell you how many people came up thanking us over and over again for what we were doing. Everyone was so appreciative and thankful, and amazed that we would work so hard for them and their school. So even though I didn't feel as though we were doing very much for them, they made it seem as if we had provided them with something that far exceeded anything they had expected.

Tuesday night, we arrived here in Louvain-la-Neuve at the Bonin home, and met a lot of the students involved in Students for Christ. Let me start by just saying, these people have truly changed my life. I have made so many new friends, and I cannot imagine leaving them in a couple of days. The SFC group here has such a heart for God, and it is so encouraging to listen to their stories and see how the Holy Spirit is working through them on this campus. We have the privilege of cooking for the students every night while we're here, and it has been so fun to see their reactions to the new foods that we are introducing. Last night, we served them TexMex, which included tacos, chips/salsa, and rice. Tonight, we are cooking BBQ chicken, potato salad, baked beans, and chocolate chip cookies....yum! We have had a very good turn out each night, and the number of students increases with each meal. I'm so excited for the next few days here, to see what else God is going to do through us and these wonderful students.

On a lighter note, our team has perfected the bisous greeting. We all plan on continuing it once we get back to the states! :)
Au revoir, until next time!
