Just a little update

Yesterday some people at the church had a cookout. It was hosted by Danielle and Ergun. Danielle was the first person I met at the church, she's really friendly and fun, and it was neat to go over. I'd met Ergun a couple times at church, but I got to talk to him for a while there. Turns out he's Turkish, was born in Turkey and moved to Kenya when he was 15, then later came to the US (I don't remember at what age).  He and I talked for a really long time, about Turkey, about international politics and happenings in general. It was really interesting. There's a reason my major is my major; I really enjoyed being able to hold an intelligent conversation with a random person on international issues. I also met a guy, Caleb, who is Haitian, so he and I practiced my French some, which was nice because I desperately need to work on it.

We managed to get together some 6-on-6 volleyball that we played for a few hours, which was really fun. I'm so bad at sports, so that part was really embarrassing. But it's a fun group of people, and it was just fun to hang out with people and chill and such things, do the kind of thing I do really get to do off campus. I'm really glad I found this church.

I have a meeting with our children's directer at 1 today to talk about me taking over the preschoolers for the remainder of the summer, so I'll let you know how that goes when I get back. :)
