Fall in the Midwest

Fall has come to the St. Louis area, and with it, several new experiences for us. First, its October, and we can regularly wear jackets. It is crazy! Who could have thought that a Jacket would be needed for more than two days out of the month of October. Second, apparently trees' leaves change color in the fall. Third, we are blessed with some amazing new friends. This past week a girlfriend of one of our sem friends stayed with us from Tuesday to Friday. It was a great time! Just having someone extra in the apartment made for good times! The best part of the week was Thursday night. Dinner was planned with the couple (our friend and his girlfriend) and two other seminarians. Now dinner was planned to start immediately after online registration for the winter quarter, which started exactly thirty six minutes late. So an hour after we had planned to start dinner, everyone was at the apartment, ready to eat. It was amazing, good stories, good food, and wonderful friends. We talked, laughed and hung out. After dinner we (the guys) played some Halo:Reach, while the ladies watched (we have some great significant others) and talked about how nerdy we are. 

As life continues up here, we continually grow, life is not always easy, but we are learning how to rejoice in struggle. I  could not ask for a better friend/partner/teammate to be walking this journey with me. God is moving, we are excited to see how He will use us!
