Fitting Back In
Our Re-Entry program continues. We have sessions in the morning, then we break into small groups to discuss the sessions, and in the afternoons, we have personal appointments with our group leaders so that we can discuss any personal/private things with them. I had my appointment yesterday and was very encouraged by their counsel.
We have free time in the afternoon and evenings, which has given us opportunity to get out to Starbucks and the mall (major sales!). Yesterday was an organized bowling trip, and I'm sorry to say that I wasn't able to keep up my French bowling record. One of the girls on my team put us all to shame with her strikes and spares, even with her intense jet lag from arriving just this week from Pakistan!
We went to see Ratatouille afterward, which was cute. I thought it would be "frenchier" but it wasn't. I liked it overall.
Today in our session, we got to telling funny stories of how we've been making fools of ourselves, being back in the States but still acting like we're overseas. I heard comments about people who'd never used debit cards before, folks who couldn't figure out how to pump gas with the credit card reader, and a hilarious story from one of the missionary men about standing way too close to some Arkansas cowboys (who clearly thought he was a little too "friendly"). We had a good time laughing at each other and ourselves.
