Quebec

Well, I made it to Quebec safely and my friend Catherine picked me up from the airport on Wednesday morning. I have yet to be able to spend much time in the city, but Catherine has been very informative for me. She told me that Levis, the city across the river where I am staying, is where many of the people who work in Quebec live. Yesterday after a long nap I went out for a walk in the snow. It was beautiful. I wasn’t sure of myself so I didn’t go too far, but I now know what it is like to live in a place where it really snows. I have been asking God for his heart on the city and what He wants me here for and I still am unsure. Please pray that God would reveal why I am here and what I am here for. Pray also for wisdom and safety.

I want God to reveal his heart for this place to me. I believe some people think I am only here to learn French. However, I do not and never have felt that was the reason I was called to come to Quebec. I want to be sensitive to the people here, but I feel so out of place. It is hard for me to approach anyone because I know the people here have a prejudice against me because I am from the US and because I speak English and only English. These are both things that I cannot help to be, so it is a struggle to get over it myself. Pray for wisdom in this area. Catherine has been extremely helpful when it comes to finding different places and people to talk with about serving the community. I have really enjoyed this time so far. Please continue to pray for wisdom and direction.
