i realized today that i truly love Montreal. it hasn't just been a passing fad. and i realized that i love spending time with students, getting to know them and being able to get them excited about the vision of reaching the lost.

i had always thought that if i moved to Quebec, i would move to a small town...but on Friday, Andy (campus director for Montreal) told me that next year they hope to add 4 staff to the team in Montreal...and his words have been buzzing around my head since then. i love the vision for Montreal, and i love the city. i love working with students and i love the staff in Quebec.

while some have a heart for overseas missions, over the past year, my heart for Canada, and for francophones has increased dramatically and i realize now that my passion is for the lost in a country where there is no excuse for people to have not heard the gospel.

i came to Montreal this summer, in part, because i wanted to see if joining staff would be something i would contemplate. i realize now, that in my heart, joining staff is the only thing i currently desire doing...and i'm realizing even more that perhaps Quebec is the place that is grasping at my heart. Andy talking about Montreal needing staff is definitely resonating in my head right about now.

anyways. its food for thought. we'll see what i say at the end of the 6 weeks.

Aww so glad to hear all your updates on montreal (uhh referring to emails too.) Wow that would be so cool if you could staff there permanently. Definitely prayer item. Yeah, sometimes missions fields are closer than we think:)
