More Work and Stuff

Ok this is Caleb posting now haha. Today we met up for breakfast at nine (that's our meet up for breakfast time.) We had bagels and coffee. Jared, Megan, and Ashly all worked on painting a room that's used for Sunday school. They started painting with a BRIGHT yellow, and Mrs.Webster decided it was way too overwhelming, so they had to mix in half a can of white paint just to get it to the right type of color. In the meantime I helped Allison, Matt, and Pastor Dave peel paint off of a wall in another room. A group that was here before us painted the room but didn't use primer! Or at least didn't let the primer dry, we still dunno. After a while of doing that I went to Costco and Maxi(a quebec grocery store) with Lynnae, Mrs.Locke, and Mrs. Webster. Costco was a zoo and our bags of milk started leaking everywhere. I got to try a bunch of European types of cheese like Gouda fumé (smoked gouda). It was delliiiiiicous. When I got back I helped do some more paint scraping and we finished up in that room. In other words its extremely interesting to me to be surrounded by a culture that uses French completely. I've never been anywhere where English isn't the primary language. Mrs. Webster also told me and a few others about how translating french and English is so hard, and lots of interesting things about french and how it relates to English, etc. Now its the end of the day and I probably shouldn't be writing this because of how extremely tired I am.. Ok now here's Bill

Because of the rain we spent most of the day inside. We scraped and painted and the guys helped the Websters move some furniture in their house. In the evening we had a singspiration and then some watched a movie (Princess Bride). I made a wicked awesome meatloaf for supper tomorrow...hope it turns out. Highlights of my day: dropping paint chips into Alli's hair, passion fruit SWEET TEA for supper, and singing with other believers about our awesome God. - Bill
