A few weekends ago I met my college roommate Cari in Budapest to cheer her on as she raced in the triathlon World Championship. Or something like that. Somehow that actually doesn't seem crazy random at all. If you know Cari at all, I'm sure you understand. It was so fun to get out of town and hang out with an old friend for a few days!
Early on race day- we left the apartment around 4:45! This whole
triathlon thing is pretty intense.
The finish line!
A gross sweaty hug. At this point I was yelling,
"Cari, you smell sooo bad!"
So fun to see her though!
Too bad I can't join her for the next one in Hawaii.
My ministry is going to look a little different this year. During my STINT year, I worked mostly with college students in medical school. Then yesterday I found myself playing the Ninja Game with a bunch of high school freshmen. They were so fun! I'm really looking forward to getting to know these students more this year. The Lord provided an incredible open door into this school, and we were able to speak to both classes of freshmen about our ministry and pass out notebooks that talked about our activities and our "Knowing God Personally" books. In the second class we even got to show a short film and have discussion groups. Each person on my team led a group and we were all able to share our own testimonies with the students. Pretty incredible!
Last week we passed out the same notebooks to freshmen in the education department at Presov University. Almost all of the 80ish students brought back the filled-out spiritual interest surveys after their meetings. Classes haven't even started yet, but we are already having such encouraging days on campus!
