FR: First Week Completed

We’ve made it through the first week of project work. Four days of surveying students and evangelism, a day of hanging out with new friends and meeting new people at the prairie des filtres. I was really glad to see Camille show up and she complimented me on my awesome water balloon tossing skills (Andrea…

FR: Paul-Sabatier

There is no way to expressed how blessed our team is, and how blessed I feel to be here. I am the least of those who are on this project and I am in awe of the work that He is doing through us. Today we had our second day of evanglism and it’s amazing…

Remember Raffi?

So it?s been almost non-stop since I got back from college and hasn?t left me nearly any time to sit down and write something here. Sorry in advance for the lack of depth or provoking writing. I?m tired and want to get to my book. I?ve had an awesome time since I?ve gotten back and…
