That epic moment when....

So I'm writing this from DEFI's hangout spot - also the place with the best wifi - after spending the last three days in the French mountains!!!

Seriously though.

It's the first real day of Bibleschool. We've just finished lunch and are called to a meeting.
"So, are you all settled in?" asks the leader.
We nod.
"Good," he responds. "Here's a list, you have 15 minutes to get everything you need to go camping."

I'm pretty excited, except for the fact that he didn't say how long we were camping... but whatever.

Next thing you know we're all piled into 2 vans, our huge backpacks in the trunk, wearing camping clothes and ready to hike.

And it was a hike to remember.

We changed walking partners every 20 minutes after talking about our lives and praying together - it was really special. And since there are only 11 students, it was very easy to get to know everyone!

Its a great group. A Texan, a German, a Swiss, two Canadians besides me, and five Frenchies! Only one boy though, so I kind of feel bad for him! However, there are a lot of male staff, so he's not totally alone.

Camping was fun, we survived a 3 degree and a 6 degree night in sleeping bags. There was a lot of Canadian jokes going on the whole time, I'm so happy there are three of us!

One of the most memorable parts was our trek up to a lake high up in the mountain. It was steep, and then it started to rain, and then it was foggy, plus we were tied together.

An adventure for sure.

I loved it though. A great introduction for Bibleschool, the camping made me feel at home and it was a great way to meet everyone and talk about life without barriers. No one was able to shower for 2 nights, so we were all pretty authentic looking. ;)

Plus, this was the first year the debut camping trip for DEFI, so I was very thankful to have been a part of it!

Classes start tomorrow, its going to be full but epic. God is here, He is being glorified, and His children are very entertaining!

Well, bon soiree, a bientot!
