people

I said I would talk a little more about L'Abri. Rather than talk about it, I want to tell you about some of the people that I met...which really makes up my experience there. Here are some of the people that surrounded me...

Sarah- is 29. but looks 25. She's American. She was my yoga instructor throughout my time at L'Abri. She was one of the first people to welcome me. She will be in Germany for the month of December, so I will visit her there and stay with her brother's family. Sarah has a problem in that she is always moving around. After Switzerland, she is going to try and get a job and stay in one place.

Mari- is 40. she is from Finland. She lived 6 years in L.A. and now lives in China and is a professor at an University. She teaches classical piano. Mari and I traveled to Paris together. More on that later.

Michael- is 26? American. He is so funny. The first night I arrived, we talked about life and why it matters so much for us to live truly. But, that's not why he is funny. His mannerisms and habits make him hilarious. Plus, he was an actor, so he is very expressive. Very. He always carried around a hot water bottle. He just did. To keep his hands warm...?

Emily- is 26 also...I think. She is from England. We hit it off right away. I think I might visit her the beginning of Jan. She is the sweetest thing, and says things in the most entertaining ways. She is a very deep person.

Brent- 22. Canadian. So funny. He had these facial expressions. To die for. I think it took a while for him to understand I wasn't laughing at him, but I was actually 'on his side' and laughing with him--encouraging such behavior from him. One night, I told him what I thought he was like in high school...and he was like, 'scary! dead on.' I feel like I know him. He is somewhere in all my friends made up into one person.

There were many more people there, of course. However, these are the few that made the biggest impressions on me.
