For the remainder of my summer, I get to hang out with the Néron family just outside of a little village called Albanel. Where's that you ask? Well, it is in the region of Lac St-Jean (lac for lake, St-Jean for St-Jean) in the North of Quebec. It may seem like I am in the middle of nowhere, but there is plenty to do here. Blueberry season is just beginning, and I hope to take part in the harvest. The blueberries here are the best!!! We also go out on the 4-wheeler now and then (thanks Pierre-Olivier). We have gone to the falls a few times, ridden horses, harvested raspberries, gone on a little story telling walk through the woods, and visited the ranch of a man who raises a rare breed of cattle from Scotland called the Haute-Terre (Scottish highland). It is tons of fun. I would be content just to hang out with the family, but I am glad to be kept busy.
Keep me in your prayers as I continue to try to wade through the thick lumberjack accent of Lac St-Jean and as I continue to study faithfully with the hope of advancing my French.
Pray also for the Néron family, as they have been wonderful hosts and great French teachers for this little English speaker.
