A new face at the LMC

As of February 1, we have a new person living at the London Mennonite Centre. She is Emilie Bourdages (I think I spelled that right). She is the one on the left. She is French-Canadian from just outside of Montreal. She is 20 years old and has come to London on a work/travel visa which allows her to work for a total of 12 months and travel the rest of the time. Since Canada is a commonwealth country, like Australia, Virgin Islands, India, etc. their residents can get a visa like this where as it is more difficult for a US person to obtain a visa to work. Anyway.... this is just something she has wanted to do and she knew Dora-Marie who is at the Centre. So she is renting our tiny guest room on the lower level here. She is a lot of fun. Her English is pretty good and she is getting better every day. She is pictured here with Nina who you may remember is German. So since they can't talk each others language, they speak English to each other and it is funny sometimes when they can't come up with a word to describe something.
