Language School: Complete

We've spent 11 entire months in full-time language school.  That's to say that for the last year, our primary focus has been learning the French language.


And now we are done.

We counted down the last 42 hours with a paper chain.

Well, language learning is never finished; language learning is life-long, and it's quite obvious that we still have a long way to go before we are truly fluent in French.  However, we have completed our full-time language studies at ISEFE in Chambery.

Here are some photos from our last day of school on Friday:

Everyone was assigned a particular French-speaking country to present.  

Our group (above) presented Togo.

After the presentations the entire school gathered outside to share a snack and hear from the President of the school.

Our class then had a picnic lunch together as we said our goodbyes.

Our main professor has taught at this school for 11 years, and Friday was her final day, too.

No more school!

School is exhausting.

We will now transition to more of a focus on ministry directly related to our church plant in Aix-les-Bains while continuing to study a few hours every week with our teammate and private tutor, Valerie.
