I just took a picture of the map my mother and I had for getting to the school. Capernwray is about 6 kms south-east of Chertsey. The church I'm attending is in Rawdon.
I just had to add this picture! My mother and I were driving through a town called St. Espirit, and we were behind this truck that had tons of bags of carrots! It was awesome!
This is this front of the girls dorm! There's about seven available dorm rooms in there, but only four of them are being used right now. 13 girls live here, at the moment.
These lovely ladies are my roommates. On the left with her hands in the air, picture taken at High Point, is Stephanie. She's from Ottawa, Ontario. She's 22. In the second photo, is Yemima and Megan. Yemima is on the left, she's 17, from Terrebonne, Quebec (a suburb of Montreal). Megan is on the right, she's almost 19, from Okotoks, Alberta (I hope I spelt that right).
There are a TON of kids running around the school campus. Steve Thiessen, the director, has 4 kids; Joshua, Anna, Mary, and Timothy. And Matt McLean, the principal, has 4 kids also; Milly, Catherine, Theo, and Adalynne. This picture is of Catherine, she took a walk up to High Point with us.
This is a picture I took of the trees, the first week I arrived. My camera just doesn't do the beauty of Quebec justice. God certainly knew about He was doing, because it's beautiful. Red leaves on the maple trees are so pretty, even if I may be allergic to them.
This is Stephanie and Yemima's half of our room.
And this is my bed. Megan's is above mine, but the camera didn't get it. I know, I know, quite disorganized... I feel not-so-much like a #2 over here, ladies. My stuff is EVERYWHERE lol.
The second snow came last night. The first snow didn't last very long, maybe an hour. But this snow managed to stay overnight. The snow here is interesting... it's little pellets, not flakes.
This is essentially where I live. The building on the left is the main building, with the dining room, fireplace, kitchen, and home-y living room upstairs, and the laundry room, classroom, and student lounge downstairs. The brown building on the top right of the picture is the guy's dorm. There are only 3 guys here this year. Beside the white tree at the right, is the house of Andrew & Lisa, the head maintenance guy and the head cook. Behind Andrew & Lisa's is our girl's dorm.
This blog entry is specifically just for some pictures, because people have asked. I apologize if these pictures are really small. The Internet here can't really handle uploading tons of large pictures. Later on in the weekend, I will post another entry of what God been teaching me this week, and what I've been learning.
Love,
Janessa (:
