Another visit with Peter and Margaret today. We practiced singing some more songs for Church and had some tea of course. Margret was cute, she told us she's going to convince some of the church ladies to sing the Gloria in English for us, which was sweet. I've really realized how comforting my religion can be, as a foreigner in another country. Catholic, of course means universal, but I'm really truly feeling it here. Although the Mass in is another language, there's still something soothing in it's standardization.
Singing and following the readings during Mass really helps with learning French grammar and sentence structure. Singing some hymns in English makes me realize that I miss Mass in English though. Regardless, I'll be home in a few weeks, so I should enjoy all the French before I have to leave!
