Igname

I went to the market and I discovered a new vegetable, it's called an "igname". Apparently we have it in the US, they are called yams in english. Don't be fooled from the outside, which looks like a sweet potato, it's not the same. It cooks quickly and tastes similar to a sweet potato, but it's white inside and has a slightly stringy consistency.

igname=yam
Je veux tes nouvelles=I want to hear how you are doing

I'm back!

After a one year break, I'm back in France. The great thing is, I can continue from where I left off, well sort of. Instead of filling in on all the missing time, I'll just have flashbacks from time to time. If you are just starting here, feel free to read the older entries, my experiences in France seem to get richer and richer.

I am currently living in Paris as a bénévole (volunteer) with an association called the GBU (Groupes Bibliques Universitaires or University Bible Groups). Our goals are to gather students together and have discussions about the Bible. It's simple and anyone can be involved. We want to led people to discover truth for themselves and come to learn more about Jesus. This a calling that I received when I lived in France the first time.

The first day I arrived, I was so excited and filled with wonder. I kept thinking "I live in Paris". It's a statement that I still cannot quite grasp, though I've been here for almost 3 weeks. I was able to find an apartment in the 15th arrondissement which is pretty classy for me. It was truly God's provision because it's extremely difficult to find a place to live here. I am so thankful because I have all I need and I lack no good thing. Since I have arrived, there has never been a dull moment. I think I feel a flashback coming on. To be continued...
