Hi everybody! I am so sorry it took me almost two weeks to get this blog up and going! We just got internet set up a couple days ago, and one router for over 100 students really does not work very well.
    The past two weeks have flown by, even though the days have been very long and jam packed with meetings, job hunting, and evangelism. For instance, a typical week includes one whole day evangelizing on a local campus, two nights of mens and womens time, two nights of evangelism, and Friday Night Live, a night of worship that we invite people from the community to come to. Around all that we squeeze in job hunting or working, eating, and maybe a little bit of sleeping and cleaning.
   Possibly the best part of project has been getting into spiritual conversations with people we meet on the streets or while riding the bus. Just the other day I was riding the bus back from job hunting with a couple of other students from the project when we were approached by a young man. He told us that he had ridden the bus with us earlier and wanted to know what religious organization we were a part of. Ashlee, Kayla (two of my roommates), and I were able to spend the next half an hour asking him questions about his beliefs, while sharing with him about our faith and personal relationships with Christ. It was so hard to get off the bus and leave the conversation because he was so open to talking and asking questions. His name is Eric, please keep him in your prayers!
    So many conversations like that have come up as we go about our daily routines, God is definitely stretching my faith and giving me courage in sharing my story! So far almost all of the conversations I have had have been with atheists, and many of them were scientists, or in a medical major. It has been so challenging, and yet wonderful, for me to be able to discuss science and faith with them! I know that God will use the knowledge and passion for science that he has given me to reach at least someone while I am out here.
    Well, I am exhausted and really should go to bed, so I'm going to have to say "good night!" God bless, and I promise I will be at least somewhat consistent at updating this blog!
