He sent in applications to 3 National Parks. One of them is Yosemite. He sure does want to be able to move to the States.

He feels like such a foreigner here, because he never had a chance to learn French so well, we were on the mission field here, there and everywhere, so English is all he knows fluently. Even though he's a dual national he never tells anyone here he's Swiss, he simply says he's American. But he's never lived in the States and only visited just once 4 years ago when he was 14 and that was for only 1 month.

So we're hoping that he will get a good summer job and the national park idea does seem like the ticket.

I guess like just about most of the teens who grew up in the F, finding your marks doesn't come automatically or that easily.
