There I was—first day of college—watching “The Office” in the dorm lounge. A girl from my floor passed by, asked if she could watch with me and sat down. Not only did we both love the show, but we had the same laptop and the same phone. Makings of a friendship? I think YES! And as if that wasn't enough…she was a believer!

I had officially made my first friend of college: Rachel Strull. God made that friendship grow and brought me so much encouragement through it. After two years at Truman, Rachel obediently followed God’s call on her life to go into career ministry and transferred to Moody Bible Institute. So when Truman gave us an extended weekend, I took the opportunity to visit her at MBI. After an hour-and-a-half drive and a four-hour train ride, I was in Chicago!
Our time together was so much fun, and I was refreshed by the conversation and a mini-escape from Kirksville.
Here are a few pictures from the trip:

I could not be more thankful for my time in the city. Thank you to Rach and all the Houghton 8 North ladies for making me feel so welcome! I can't wait to visit again!
:) you are a delight! LOVE YOU SWEET FRIEND!
