The past two Sunday’s we have visited local churches. These are the few hours of our week that we are truly immersed among the French. As time goes on we expect the hours to grow that we spend fumbling around in conversational french. Crossing cultures Sunday morning has been a learning experience on many different levels. One of the biggest differences has been having Oliver in our laps during the service. It seems that nursery care is not as common, thus kids of all ages are sprinkled throughout the congregation. Both Sunday’s Oliver has jumped right in to the festivities. After the first hymn we sang on our first sunday morning Oliver let out a yelping “yeahhh” while clapping at the close of the song. He was so proud of his participation and timing. Another habit that he has picked up and proudly displayed this past Sunday is to repetitively say, “Bonjour!” once he realizes that French is being spoken. He is becoming well acquainted with the word, whisper from his parents and doing a stellar job of sitting and squirming through services.
