Duluth-Norway Connections!
We had the awesome privledge of having two of our friends from Duluth, Mn Chi Alpha Students for Christ come and visit us here in Norway. Both Maleah and Amanda were freshmen when Cortney did her internship in Duluth and their friendship is a result of the last two years of mentoring and growing together. Maleah has just been studying abroad in Spain for the year and Amanda just finished a semester in Italy. It is amazing how God has connected us again across the ocean and is calling students from UMD to study in Europe and be examples for Christ. It was great to have them here to encourage and be encouraged. They have learned so much in their experiences abroad and are now excited and on fire to go back and share what they have learned with their peers in Chi Alpha at UMD as they continue their studies. God has given them a greater heart for the world and a greater burden for students who do not know Him. They need your prayers as they readjust to being back in the states and for boldness to reach out to others with the love of Christ on the UMD campus. It is so awesome to see the many gifts God has placed in them and their desire to be used fully for Him. We are so proud of them! We are praying about having a team from UMD Chi Alpha visit us next year....






We all took a hike together one day and had a blast! After some dangerous climbing antics,we had a chance to just relax and enjoy the lovely weather.
