Bravo les hommes!

 Une belle journée devant de l'église.

(A beautiful day in front of the church.)

Tonio et Jonathan, un de notre lycéens, 

ont fait une étagère pour la table de son.

(Tonio and Jonathan, one of our high school students, 

made a shelf for the sound table.)

la vision du monde

world view

Tonio a commencé une serie de 5 cours sur les bases de la foi chretienne.

(Tonio started one of five classes on basic Christianity.)

Chaque semaine, nos devoirs sont de lire un Évangile 

et répondre à quelques questions.

(Every week, our homework is to read one Gospel 

and answer some questions.)

Je crois que tous les gens sont très interessé...Je sais que je le suis.

(I believe that everyone is very interested...I know that I am.)
