April - wow!

I’m astonished to find myself an hour and a half away from the month of April! I feel like hardly no time has passed at all since we returned to Québec from our Christmas break in California. The start of April means that I have less than a month before the end of […]

Morning Sickness & Sinus Infection - what a combo!

Morning sickness is in full swing and if that wasn’t enough Debra has been knocked flat by a really bad sinus infection for which she can’t take any medicine. This morning she began throwing up and I took Canaan to church, hopefully giving her a chance to rest with a quiet home. Canaan […]

More deadend phonecalls

Our search for a doctor continues, so far with out much luck. Our tutor gave us a number of a doctor who could probably take us but she is away for a week or so. I tried to make an appointment but the receptionist said to call back when she returns. That […]

Timidité

Nearly every week I have an essay to write on various subjects. The idea is to utilize the new concept that we had been learning throughout the week. This week we had been learning CODs, COIs and the adverbial pronouns Y and EN (click on them if you are bored or want to […]

Un nouveau semestre commence

Debra and I started back up yesterday with our french training.  I am in a new level at school, which is good.  It is much more challenging and is already going at a notably faster pace.  Debra will continue to meet with her tutor three times a week though we are hoping to meet with […]

Tension in Guinea

If you often read our blog you may remember us writing about a major strike taking place in Guinea early last year (click here for a list of posts about the strike). The president ended up agreeing to appoint a new primeminister of the peoples choosing and he did do so. A few […]

Relax (and recuperate)

I wrote almost a week ago about about Debra’s sore throat and I’m glad to say that she’s finally starting to feel better. It got pretty bad and I didn’t hear a word out of her for days. What she needed was plain old rest. But as most of you can relate […]

Presentation: Check

It finally came time yesterday for me do my French presentation in class. I was nervous of course but I felt very prepared after weeks of preparation and days on end studying. I’d become fairly accustomed to public speaking but doing it in French was a whole new world! It really […]

Two Weeks Left

I suddenly realized this morning that my first semester of language study is drawing to a close with only two weeks to go! It caught me by surprise and I was suddenly excited and scared at the same time. Lots of questions flooded my mind like, ‘have I learned as much French as […]

«Ma Ville»

School work has been insane this last week causing a few less blog posts than usual, but I thought that I would at least write about what’s causing our busyness.  A few weeks ago we were given the details of our final presentation that is due in December.  The presentation is called «Ma Ville» which […]
