Christmas Break was a blur of travel, but also a great time with family and spiritually refueling! I went to Iowa with my family and really enjoyed that! They had 6 inches of snow before we arrived and so we got to play in the snow and go sledding. It was also great to see my brother and get the know my sister, Nuch. She is a foreign exchange student from Thailand that my parents are hosting this year. After that I went to a New Years Conference in Atlanta with a college ministry called Campus Outreach. That was awesome! It was 5 days of hearing great talks, great workshops, and great worship! All among 1,000 college students who were hungry to know God! The theme this year was "The Love of God." Wow, I really needed to hear that! It was good for me spiritually to hear about how much God cares for me and is guiding my life as my Shepherd!
Well, here are some pictures from the break:

Here is a picture of Bryson I before one of the talks at the New Year's Conference. Bryson is a student in my Bible study and I really enjoyed going to the conference with him. I consider him a great friend and joy to be around. We both learned a ton and got to talk a lot!

This is a picture of the students from Florida State that came to the New Year's Conference. We had a lot of fun, got to know each other a lot better, and had some good fellowship!
This is Nuch (a foreign exchange student from Thailand) and I as we celebrate Christmas with my family. She has really enjoyed celebrating Christmas with us and gave us all presents from Thailand! I received a silk tie!

I wanted to show you a picture of the snow in Iowa! Ok, so this was a big drift, but it was still great to see the snow!
