A week of beginnings

Dear Friends,

I apologize for not giving you more information on everything that is going on. I have been ridiculously busy this past week, and I’m sure the weeks to come will be even busier.

Tsveti and I on our way to our first class,
with our house in the back.

Since I last wrote, much has happened. Jordan and I tried out a church here in town the last two Sundays. It was a great church, in some ways like our church at home, but I am not confident that I’ll end up there.  Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I spent time looking for a job, helping housemates move in, getting to know the city and my roommate Erin (who is absolutely fantastic). Thursday and Friday was new student orientation, which actually, turned out to be incredibly interesting. Saturday and Sunday their were a few events planned for us Moody students to get to know each other. And Monday began the school year off with my first day of classes.

Me and my wonderful new roomate: Erin!

For those of you wondering, I have still not found a job. I have applied in almost every place within two miles, including the school. I would really appreciate prayer about this, considering the numerous expenses I have over the next couple of months. However, on the positive side, I have spent the time that I haven’t been working, bonding with my housemates. Cassie is the RA, Shannon and Liz have a room downstairs, Tsveti and Julia have a room upstairs, and Erin and I have the room across the hall. Each girl I live with (so far seems) amazing. We have had so much fun and I’m stoked for the deep friendships we will build.

So thanks to all of you who are praying for me. I truly appreciate your prayers. Please pray that I find a job, and that God will continue to show me how blessed I am.

Love to you all,

Hannah
