THE STUDENT NAMED EMMANUEL, PART II

Sorry about my last entry's rant. I just need to get things off of my chest sometimes. No hard feelings, I promise. In fact, I wanted to say a couple of things in favor of my ex-student Emmanuel in that blog post but it already felt a bit long, so I'll say them now:

Emmanuel will probably be the one student who experienced the most he could possibly experience out of all my past, present, and future foreigners. He befriended so many Americans while he was here it's astounding. He consistently went out mountain biking with guys from the bike shop, he came with me to Young Life during the school year, he went to Hawaii, Las Vegas, San Francisco, San Diego, and more; his mother and brother came to visit him, he went on a great camping trip with our youth group, got invited to birthday parties, and so on.. he even got the maintenance guy at the school to drive him to Los Angeles for his flight home!

Let it be known that Emmanuel made this the best trip possible while he was here.

I got a new student today. He is French, and his name is Gregoire. He is very sweet, and even asked me if he could dry his towel outside. Along with a new student, I also got a Nintendo Wii. Whee!
