On Isabelle’s last morning here she helped out with a
seminar put on by Georgia Kurko (who also helped put on the 6th
grade Frog retreat and has been coming down for years). Isabelle speaks 5
languages fluently (English, German, French, Luxembourgish, Spanish and some
Chichewa but we didn’t go that far). When Georgia heard about that she jumped
on it and asked if Isabelle would read a bible passage in all of her languages.
She agreed. Only after that did she get the Bible passage-- 7 of the longest
verses in the Bible (I think). The
seminar was on the body being God’s temple and staying pure and making good
decisions.
The seminar started with breakfast (as most things do here)
and then came the readings. I read the
French. Mary who was helping Georgia read the English. Then Isabelle did the Spanish,
German and Luxembourgish. There were
also some facts and figures up about Luxembourg (size and population) as it is
smaller than Haiti. We didn’t stay for
the rest of the seminar but I’m sure it went well. Instead I took Isabelle to see Repatriate and
Cite Soleil centers before dropping her at the airport. I’m so glad she came
and was sad to see her go…
