so it has been a month (almost) since i have moved into my little apartment in Dtown...more like UP which is in the HP area...is near SMU...so something I am realizing here that people LOVE to appreviate things. So this is something I am attempting to do--with little success but I'm trying!
My time in Dallas has been great and busy. The first 2 weeks were full of meetings/one on ones/Freshmen girl events/staff meetings/Float Trip/Leadership retreat/plus more. So it's been a busy last month. So let me begin with a brief overview.
-the 2nd weekend I was here we had leadership retreat at a student's lake house! we had a really fun time jetskiing, tubing, boating, and just spending time getting to know one another! so it was a fun time.
-we had our first Large Group on 8/31-and we had about 115 students come! This semester Chad will be going through the book of Mark!
-The next weekend we had a float trip down the Guadeloupe River, past Austin, and we spent the night and then floated the river the next day! we brought 60 people!! it was amazing!
-This past week at Large Group we had 140 people! wonderful!
SMU has been a wonderful university to transition to! the campus is beautiful and the students along with it are wonderful themselves. I have felt very well loved and taken care of by them!
Prayer Requests
-Praise!! I have raised over my 100% for financial support! The Lord has been very gracious to provide people willing to support me prayfully and financially and I am so thankful!
-As i find a church community the next semester, still adjusting to the big city and finding people my own age to spend time with!
-For chad and his wife, Jada-they are expecting their 3rd boy in January!
-For Christian fellowship among the students through Large group and small group settings!
