my wireless network connection has been a little wonky of late - it keeps dropping in and out! what happened to the excellent signal strength of yore? alas!
just some updates:
1. i've settled on a church to go to! it's a non-denominational church that's situated just two blocks down the street from mcgill. even though it's a family church, there are many students that attend as well so i'm pretty comfortable. i make new friends every week so that's really something to look forward to as i become a more regular face there.
2. i'll to be attending a bible study for international students every wednesday night for the fellowship, the chance to share, learn from and grow with the rest of the group. looking forward to their first meeting this week.
3. i'm part of a small group that meets on tuesday nights that aims to engage christians and non-christians alike in some solid bible study - we'll be tackling very practical, day-to-day issues and there'll be dialogue on how we can apply God's word to our lives. fantastic!
4. i'll be going to Quebec city with the mcgill international student's network over the coming weekend. they promised me whale watching so i'm pretty psyched!
5. and last but not least, apple picking! kent (my landlord and friendly montrealaise host-cum-tour guide) was kind enough to take the day off to drive sihui, jinglun, eunice (hello!) and me down south to the Eastern townships where they have lovely orchards for some serious apple picking! we saw excellent scenery, met pigs, cows, goats, horses and drove over two skunks (already dead) on the way. tout parce-qu'il fait beau ce week-end.
