French Study
It is hard to beleive, but we are at the end of this semester already. Tonight we studied for our oral exam that we have tomorrow morning. Tuesday is our vocabulary test for the semester and on Wednesday we will be sharing our testimony and ministry at Chapel IN FRENCH as well as doing our final written exam for the semester.
We have one more semester of French Study here in Canada before we move to Senegal. We will be departing Canada the end of June after our Conversation Semester. In Senegal, we will continue our French Studies and begin learning culture as well. Our goal is to be able to speak French at a very high level in order to be able to partner with our West African brothers and sisters in an effective way.
Praise the Lord with us for a good semester of French Study. We are progressing well in our French ability, but of course we still have a long ways to go. 🙂
So, another fun vocabulary lesson in French. déguster means to taste or to relish. Hardly what comes to my mind when I see a word so close to disgusting. 🙂
Plane Ticket Update
We purchased the tickets because the sale date was ending. Drum roll please!!! We depart for Senegal in early August! We praise the Lord for providing just over $1000 towards our plane tickets bringing our total received to $3,398.
