December Updates

 Hi everyone! Hope you are doing well, and have been enjoying these beautiful fall trees! I recently read an article my mom posted on Facebook, that was saying the trees are more vibrant this season because of the immense amount of rainfall we received at the end of August. I think that is so neat the way God created nature to do things that way, and I am so grateful because of it. I have loved driving around Arlington lately and seeing all the many different colors! These are the updates from this past month, thank you so much for how generous you guys are to support me and our students in ministry. 

Keep FOCUS Growing 

WOW! We were able to reach our goal! That is only because of the generosity of people like you who have caught the vision of college ministry. I am so thankful for you all! 

Thanksgiving

My dream since I was 8 years old was to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and I finally got to go this year with my dad, brother, and sister in law! It was so amazing! I even asked a random worker to take a picture with me because she just worked in the parade! I love it so so much! How did you all spend your Thanksgiving? 

Closing out the Semester 

We had our Christmas Party earlier this week! We had a theme of Christmas in Hawaii so you see here Vincent doing our Limbo contest! It was so fun!

Over to the right is our last Thursday Night Fellowship of the year, it was jam packed with lots of worship and a great sermon. We have had an amazing first semester! 

Silly Goofy Ministry Moments 

These are just some silly moments from this month! We filmed our staff Christmas skit, playing games at a Friendsgiving, and then just getting to do some HW and hang out with girlies at a coffee shop. It is never a dull moment and it is always so fun! 

Prayer Requests: 

• Pray for our students as they go into finals next week 
• Prayers for our students as they also go home, many struggle with depression and anxiety. Though the break is restful it can lead to many feeling alone, and having a hard time. 
• We have Winter Retreat coming up in mid January, please pray it goes smoothly and many of our students sign up for it! 

Have a Very Merry Christmas!
