Story Time with Liz

WEll, i guess the time has come for some stories!!

There are about 10 to 12 freshmen involved in the village i co-lead at U of I...
One of the things that the staff highly encourage is meeting with the girls one on one and seeing where they are in life, maybe mentoring or discipleship, or just being in their lives outside of Tuesday night. Well recently i have hung out with many of the girls and to my surprise and Gods grace three of them have expressed interest in getting together weekly to meet and talk with. two girls and i are going to start going through a study of scripture, another girl and me are meeting weekly to just talk an hang out.

I fell like life is starting to become normal. I have a schedule, i know what is coming and what the next day looks like. While there is normal, everyday is different and that allows me to live with a passion!!

I am loving the culture up here and the how open people are to hear why i am here.
I have one more story for you and then i will let you go!!

About a month ago, i work a block party one Sunday. We could not have church in Moscow bc of it but we were allowed to have a booth with information on it! So i sat a table all day and talked to people here and there!! Sometimes this is very taxing with little reward, however, this time was different! I talked to a girl and told her the basics of resonate and what not...she went on her way and i went on with the day. Sadly the next Sunday i was unable to be at church, (i was in bend, Oregon) but when i got back into town from two people i heard the the same thing. "Liz there is this girl and she meet you at the block party and because of that you said to her she decided to come to church and she said everything you said was true and that she was so Happy to have meet you." WOW what a complement an ho exciting!!! So the next Sunday i was sitting at the front of the Church and for some reason i decided to move to the back, at the end of the service the pastor asked us to find someone and just talk about our week and what all we are going through. Well i looked across the aisle and found a girl and then we started to talk!! IT WAS THE SAME GIRL!! HOW AWESOME IS GOD!! we were able to share and talk and she was so thankful for meeting her and talking with her, i just loved it!!

God is doing amazing things and i am privilege to be apart of them!
