In Sherbrooke

Hey guys,
here are some pictures from the DTS' week in Sherbrooke...

This is a picture of Jeremy, Brittany, and me with the family that we stayed with for the week :) plus their new puppy!

One morning, our team spent some hours praying for the city, here's where my group spent most of our time praying :) I love cathedrals.

Micheala and Brittany

Me & Micheal

love you all...

YWAM randomness...

Here are some pictures from our last big "love feast" that we had as a DTS a few weeks ago. The theme was The Sound of Music (La Melodie de bonheur), but these picture are not a great representation of that, actually....anyway...

This guy with the green hair is Steve, he was our speaker for the week...he's a lot of fun ;)

Jeremy and I being the fabulous French people that we are ;)This guy is Dave from Australia, he's pretty neat, not that you could tell from the way Micheala and I are looking at him, but yeah. hehe.

not Swiss cheese...!

This entry is dedicated to my lovely Swiss friend Lori, who tried string cheese for the first time this past weekend. I was lucky enough to have a camera nearby to record her reaction:

:D

Funny, having grown up with the stuff, I never really though about how weird string cheese is.
Love, Biby

Cafe Colour

So there's this little cafe down the road that we like to go to, "Couleur Cafe," and every other Thursday night they have jam sessions. It's pretty cool, so...this past Thursday some of us went to hang out.

Here's a picture of me and Natalie, my Minnesota homie :) at the Cafe.

Micheala and her cowbell!

Here's Jeremy and Rebecca jamming with some people from Dunham.

It's really cool to have a place to go and get to know different people from the community. sometimes I feel like we're in this little bubble, living in this big house altogether. Anyway, it was fun.
This week has been really cool, we had a guy, Jim visiting from Paris to speak at our school. He has this ministry in Paris for artists. We were able to have some extra time also this weekk to do creative stuff, like paint or whatever. God's been really speaking to me in regards to my art and just doing new things, and finding my inspiration from Him. Every Thursday our YWAM base has this community evening thing where people can come visit us and we share and present things. So this past Thursday, I presented some of my art and shared about my, "artistic journey." I'm not even sure what that means, but anyway...I felt that God really spoke to me through this and how He wants me to step out of the things I'm more comfortable with in terms of art. Jim was really encouraging to me in that regard. I've been feeling discouraged in general with art and what I do. But yeah, I'm excited to see what God's going to grow in me in terms of creativity and all that. :) well, that's it for now...
Love,
Abby

Our Peace & Love feast...

Hey Everyone :)
This past Friday we had a YWAM hippie party. It was pretty sweet. Since a lot of my clothes are hippie-ish I finally had something to wear, for once :D yay!

This was also the birthday party for one of the DTS students, Micheala....she's a totally awesome woman, I'm her fan, for sure. She's the one in blue with the big sunglasses :)

Here's me with some of the guys: Jeremy from France, and Taesung from S. Korea. I found out that my name means, "dad" in Korean. interesting, eh? So, I've sort of adopted him as my son ;) Taesung says that Jeremy's the mom, since I'm the dad and I'm a girl. I don't know, the whole thing doesn't make too much sense. So...they said they wanted a "family picture."

Well, that's all for now!
Peace. <3>

Happy Valentine's Day :)

Salut, tout la monde :)
So, the Arts and Music DTS started about a month ago. It's so crazy to see how fast the time has gone by. I'm having a wonderful time :) It's an amazing privilege to be here. This past week we had a teaching on the Nature and Character of God. The women who came to speak, Janique, was so great. She taught on the Holy Spirit and laid a really solid foundation for all of us. This week has been really, like a breath of fresh air. Not that the other weeks were bad at all, but there was something about the way this women taught that was so pure and simple. I guess because she took subjects (like the Holy Spirit) and explained them so simply, it was like a relief. I feel like there are so many weirdos out there who teach on this. They sort of waft around and act all super spiritual...and leave people more confused and distant than ever. But yeah, it wasn't weird, it was great. Janique was so down-to-earth and vibrant. I loved having her here. I truly love this school. The students are so hungry for God, it's exciting to think about what lies ahead.
On Thursday, some of the students decided to throw a Valentine's day party. We made pink cookies, cupcakes and some other stuff. We danced and some people wrote poetry and read it aloud. We all dressed up, it was really classy. Here are some pictures!

Love, Abby

La vie est Belle :)

Hey Everyone :)
I'm having a wonderful time here...I love it. I don't have a lot of time to write so much right now, but I wanted to put some pictures on here. The Arts and Music DTS started on January 13th, so yeah, we're in our 4th week together as a school. The students are so great, I'm totally in love with them all...and they have an amazing hunger for God. Yeah so...here are some pictures of our first 4 weeks together...
P.S. Here's a picture of us 4 staff: Thomas, Noamie, Ketsia and me. During the week of orientation, we had a 80's bowling night...that's why we look that way!
Love you all,
Abby
