Pardon the Seinfeld shout out there. I don't even watch that show all that much but it's always on the commerical. Voilà some important first words from France, eh?
I have had so many funny/encouraging moments but this is the first time I am attempting to communicate any of them.
God is so good sums it up but I'd love to tell you that this can look quite crazy.
Here's a quick top 10 to update you (I credit this idea to Nathan, Cydil, and David Letterman):
10 - I met two other English teachers in Philly who are now in their respective parts of France.
9 - I doused my lap with my water on the plane, was given paper towels and told "It'll dry before arrival" - it did.
8 - I met a French friend of mine, Agnès, at the airport in Paris and we took a taxi to her family's apt.
7 - It's a lot colder in the north of France than KY.
6 - I met a Mexican monk named Leobardo who eats once a day and takes heart meds with wine.
5 - I was treated as an honored guest by Agnès' family and her dad's name is Jésus (he's a Spaniard).
4 - I saved about 25 bucks with my young people's discount for my train ticket.
3 - I had my first ever authentic English tea made by a native whose now living in France.
2 - I met a great group of students/young professionals at a seeker Bible study, went out with them and was stared at by a couple of them b/c of my expressive, loud nature. They still like me.
1 - I played volleyball at the beach as the sun was setting in 55° water and was more numb than "used to it".

Youpee, Lawrence has a blog!!!!!!! I randomly decided to check facebook and was soooooo excited to find this.
I'm so glad that you got there safely and are already having some amazing experiences. Sounds like you connected with Agnès okay and had a good visit ...did you end up staying with them? They're so wonderful -- what a great way to be welcomed to France. And you're already making friends in St Brieuc, how cool is that?! "They still like me." lol. Glad to hear you're being your crazy self and finding that it's okay even in France. I hope you guys have lots more fun times together!
Hey, have a great Sunday...I assume you'll be going to church and everything? Hope it goes well! Talk to you soon, I'm sure!
Okay this is Mindy,
Lars this sounds so amazing. I am so excited for you, and I think I am going to live vicariously through you.
I think the most interesting thing I just learned about you is from your blog profile. You're a Capricorn, eh? :)
So glad the Lord is answering prayers left and right; that you are already blessed in this great adventure.
And it's only been a few days!
I like the "my life in brittany"title.
Yay! Lawrence, I'm so glad you have a blog!! I can't wait to read updates from you! I'll be praying for your time there. Sat next to your mom at church today randomly, pretty neat. Talk to you soon!!
