Randomness




Here are just a few more photos. The first is just a group of my fellow classmates. On Friday night we all gathered and had International night where students from the different countries, of which I believe we have 7 here, performed or shared something about their home nation. The next photo was just taken on the bus on the way to the mountains. Then is a picture of me and my roommate Caroline from Norway. The last is my backyard. We don't have direct access to the lake but it takes about 2 minutes to walk there and when you arrive...this is what you see. It is insane. I can wake up go out on my balcony and look at the Alps.

Everything is going well. We are all very busy with school. One of the assignments for the first semester is to read the entire Old Testament so when we have free time that is what we do. We also just had to read a book called The Attributes of God, it was pretty intense and now we have to write a paper on it. Also, every week we are required to memorize two Bible verses, one is chosen for us and the other is our choice. This week the verse is: 1 Corn. 10:13: But remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can't stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it. (new life Bible). And I chose Romans 5:3: We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials for we know that they are good for us-the help us learn to endure.

Today some of the students are running a 10k race. I decided not to run and I am glad that I did, I wanted to be able to enjoy the quiet and get some work done...a.k.a. update my blog.

I love and miss you all!

Katelyn-

That's so cool that verse you posted on your blog that you had to memorize for class. Mark and I were just talking about that verse earlier this week. We couldn't remember where to find it or what it said exactly. We just knew it was something about God not exposing us to more temptation than we can handle, that he always provides a way out, and that we don't face any greater sin than any other man has faced. Well, now I have the verse location so I can read it and learn it for myself. How convenient!

Cool pics by the way!
