John 3:16 - "Oui, Dieu a tant aime le monde qu'il a donne son Fils, son unique, pour que tous ceux qui placent leur confiance en lui echappent a la perdition et qu'ils aient la vie eternelle."
Went to the same church again today. I'm still not good about timing the trams so I was about ten minutes late to church, so I sat by myself next to this woman with the cutest little kid ever. Since the church is absolutly freezing, everyone keeps their coats on throughout the service. So this little kid with his huge glasses, was toddling around in this enormous coat and he kept running into the kids that were playing in the seats in front of us. So cute. Also very distracting as I still have no idea what happens in the service, so I was entertained mostly by this seemingly confused ball of puff. The mom was very nice though and kept apologizing. I think. One can never be certain. I saw my Irish friend Kevin after the service and he told me that in the Catholic church they have memorial services for people that have died in the past, and they dedicate the service to them. I'm not sure I think that's right. So we went and lit a candle for his grandpa as it was his memorial service back at his home church. I'm learning all these new things about the Catholic church I never knew before. Some people are going bowling today but I think I will stay in and do homework, plus it is extremely cold outside and I don't feel like waiting for the tram.Yesterday was an interesting day with the host family. Leah is kinda sick so she stayed in bed all day, but she asked me to tell the host family she would come to eat after we were all done so she wouldn't get the rest of us sick. Anne didn't like hearing me say that, however, and told me that she wasn't running a restaurant. After a long and confusing rant, it became clear to me that she wasn't planning on feeding Leah. I tried to tell her that she was probably hungry, but that led to some short comments and muttering. She then proceeded to tell me that she was going out later and that we couldn't eat at her house. So poor Leah got up and showered and ate a banana and a piece of bread until we both went out for dinner that night. We did go to a very cute restaurant. It was called something like "The Butcher" and it had cute cows everywhere. Thankfully our waiter spoke English, and we found out later he originally is from Ireland. He's in an Irish band or something and is traveling around but ran out of money so he took up this job as a waiter. He invited Leah and I to an Irish pub on Tuesday night to watch him play, but I don't know if we'll go. To be determined. After that we had to walk home because we were too cheap to buy a tram ticket. Forty-five minutes later we were numb all over but we made it home safely. Other than that the only other semi-interesting tidbit is that we met a couple of guys from Indiana on the tram the other day. They've been here on a mission trip for the past 2 years. They invited us to their church and told us they could probably set us up with a French tutor etc. It was really awesome..until they told us they were with the Mormon church. Yep. Safe to say I probably won't look them up anytime soon.
