“I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.” ― Helen Keller

I am so grateful for the friends God has given me at ICSV. I never would have met these kind, welcoming, gracious, and understanding people if God had not led me to this school.

One of the teachers I work with invited me to a girl's brunch at her apartment this weekend with about 10 other women. She and her room-mate made homemade crepes for us! Afterward, my friend, Mandy, and I took an impromptu visit to the first district (where the Habsburg palace is) for some pumpkin-spice lattes (yay Fall!). I cannot image how lonely and bored I would be without these women! It is also nice to be with people who understand the process of moving to another country and working in a new school system.

4 I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5 For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge— 6 God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. 7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 8 He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
