New sister in Christ!!!



The beginning of the semester started out as I was feeling a bit down. Like I had already tried to visit many students last semester, and I didn't have anyone left to go to their rooms, or whatnot. At least not new students. But I realized there are over 5,00 intl students at MSU, and surely I hadn't talked to all of them. Plus there were many students I would see in the dorms, that I knew I had never met before.

I decided to knock on some new doors, people I didn't have a card for, but I figured it was worth a shot. One of the doors I knocked on belonged to a girl named Wendy. I started talking to her and doing a picture survey with her, but halfway through she had to run to meet a friend she forgot about, but she really wanted to finish our conversation.

So the next week I came back, and we got into a conversation talking about God, and I was able to go through our short booklet called "Knowing God Personally." In it there are 4 main points that are basically the meat of the Gospel. God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. But because of our sin (choosing to go our own selfish way and not choosing God) we cannot experiencing this love and plan. Jesus is God's only provision for our sin so we can know Him personally and experience His love and plan. We must individually receive Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord and then we can experience God's love and plan.

After sharing this with her, and a little of my own personal story, she
wanted to pray right then and there to have God come into her life so she could know Him personally and experience His love in her life. I was so excited! Here I was not very ambitious about talking to new people, and one of the first people I talked to was interested in God!

I am so thankful, and am excited to see how God uses Wendy and helps her to grow more!

It was cool too that we had a game night shortly after, and We
ndy was able to come and meet some new people, as she doesn't have too many friends on campus still. Over 40 people ended up coming to the game night, and we were able to build some new friendships!
Here's a picture below!
