9. Everything takes 9 times longer than you think it'll take. (case in point... spending too many hours at the bank on the first day we arrive!)
8. 8 crepes a day is never too many!
7. You eat about 7 baguettes a day as well!
6.Your 6 new best friends/teammates have now become your 6 new roommates. Real World Paris!
5. Your body thanks you for the 5 flights of stairs you walk up everyday to get to your apartment. No lift. (work off those crepes and baguettes!)
4. You are thankful that the guys have a place to stay in your apartment as they look for theirs, but you pray and wait for the day that the 4 girls will live by themselves!
3. There are always three jars of nutella in the pantry.
2. There are only 2 burners that are in your apartment that come standard and sometimes they work.
1. There is only 1 thing you need everyday... God!
As you can see it's been a whirlwind romance with paris... hard things and good things... but the one thing we know is that the Lord is working in and through us to give every student an opportunity to hear the gospel!

Please pray for us as it is the second day on campus! We've had some amazing conversations that have led to more appointments and seeing students come closer to understanding more of the gospel! Please pray for boldness and for students to be open to hearing the gospel!
Jen! Love getting your updates & reading your blog. Can't imagine how excited you are to get your hands on those students!! They have no idea how lucky they are! We think of you often & are keeping yall in our prayers. Miss you friend!!
