{ Other Happenings & Friends}

So

this semester at school we only have fifty people attending ( this includes the Missions Training Program ). So by the second week, you know everyone and they all know you. Now, I know about 95 % of everyone's name, however many are confusing me with a fellow student named 'Adam'. With a Hungarian accent, my name does sound like Adam if you are not paying attention but today during an annoucement the translator told the student body that Adam along with Abbe was starting a prayer group. Honestly, I feel worse for Adam because he is being confused for a girl. Althought being confused for someone else's boyfriend is a little embarrasing.
So I am tempted to write my name, phonetically on a shirt so there won't be any more confusion .

Well,as I have said that my school is pretty small, so there is only one girls hallway. And the best part is about this arrangment is that you can take a five second walk and you can see one of your friends if your roommates aren't around. It's a very cute neighborhood. So, I thought I would introduce you to some of my neighbors.

{Callie}
Callie is one of the sweetest people that I know, she is usually soft-spoken but there are times ( Espcially in the Rotunda)where she will sing and waltz around. Callie is exceptionally good at braiding hair, I am pretty sure that she will braid at least three girl's hair before she fixes her own. I don't know many girls who would do that! Callie is also a fan of Anne of Green Gables, just as I am which is so lovely because we can quote the book and the movie and act all dramtic together. It makes college rather romantic. I love this sweet Girl

{Abbe}

Abbe & I have this special connection because she was the very first person I met when I came into Hungary. So, she was my very first friend coming into Hungary. Abbe has an incredible voice and I usually sit by her during devos just so I can hear her sing and listen to the incredible harmonize notes.
I am inspired by Abbe's love for Hungarian and her desire to be here in Hungary. As she is pursuing a career in music, she is leaving behind possiblities. However, God will bless her life, her careers and whatever she endevors to do because of her obdeience for God.

{Tiffany}

Tiffany was also there at the airport when I arrived, so we also have a special connection. Tiffany is the friendliest person I know, within seconds of knowing her I feel as if I am her closet friend. She is extremely outgoing,funny, and possesses a heart of prayer. She recently went on a weekend trip to Serbia for an outreach, and I honestly missed her while she was away.Tiffany visits my dorm room serveral times a day, so I get the joy of her cracking my back and laughing so hard I might pee my pants.


There are many,many more girls here that I going to school with and I am looking forward to him becoming my sisters.

Love,

Autie

{ Love }

{Love}

What is love to you? Where did you learn about love? Do you give love easily? I know that I do, well not romantic love, that takes a while for you to deserve ( the and man that has my love(love) is well- deserving). But what about the Philia Love? Have you truly have this type of love for someone? The kindred spirit/ bosom friend kind of love. For those of you who know me well, I love nearly everyone...but I may not feel that incredible closeness with you. Which is okay, we will get there one day, I promise.
You know who are you :)

Now, for one of the greatest types of love . Agape.
This is love of God... not the love for God, but the love that God has for us. Some say that love is a fancy or a feeling, but neither is true. Love is an action, and the ultimate actions of love is God sacrificing His Son for us. Therefore, God is a definition of Love.
We shouldn’t only be thankful for Christ's death, but the fact that God is the definition of Love because who else could hold the title?
I know not one.

Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

{Roommates}

Hey everybody ,

Because I have been a college kid for little over a week now, I thought I would write a blog about my roommates. I have one of the best rooms here this semester, not only how the room is set up but the people that fill it.

{Jemma}

Jemma is my intern/dorm steward, she is a blonde beauty from Australia. She is one of the enthusiastic people that I know, she plans game night for my college and makes our dorm meetings really fun ( that and she makes the best brownies I have ever had). Right before the semester started, Jemma had acquired a black eye from falling on ice at an Intern Retreat. But I have seen very few black eyes in my life, I wasn't sure what it was, so I had assumed she only put purple eyeshadow one eye. Haha... how embarrassed I was to find out it was from a fall. I am very blessed to have Jemma as my dorm steward, and I am excited to get to know her this semester.

{Lila}

Lila is my Hungarian roommmate, who is the sweetest person you have ever met. Every night before lights out, Lila will lead us in a short five minute bed time prayer. Which is such a blessing because I have found that I have such a more peaceful sleep. And although she is a sweet type, you will be suprised to find that she is the funniest person, one moment she can be quiet, and then BAM she'll crack a joke that will have all of us rolling. There is a special place in my heart for Lila.

{Maddy}

Maddy is the most forgiving one in my room because he head is RIGHT beside the door,so therefore if anyone slams it in the morning, she will be the first to wake up. I apologize if I slam the door without knowning it, I hate waking people up in the morning. Maddy, like me, has man waiting at home for her, so we are going to be eachothers Valentines for the day. Maddy is in her fourth semester of bible college, and will be graduating this spring. She has a huge heart for the Mormons, I am so excited to see where this calling will take her.

{Nastya}

Nastya is one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen. She is from Russia and possess those strong features that I find extrodionarily beautiful; the high cheekbones, the deep eyes, and the perfect skin.It's not only her beauty that makes Nastya, Nastya. It's her personality that brings out the best in me, she's the person to tell you what no one else will. She is like a refinery, it she brings out the things that I don't like about myself that I don't think anyone else notices. But she does.
I know that I will be a better person for just being her roommate.

{Kim}

Kim is my bunk-buddy, I sleep right above her, so I consider myself blessed that she is a heavy sleeper! Kim is from the state of Georgia, but both of her parents are from South Africa. I was excited to find out that Kim was from the south because I love hearing the accent, and although her accent is ever so slight, I still can hear the southern girl that is inside. She helps herself to my Nutella at breakfast and is extremely commited to her homework.
Both of these things I love.


Well, those are my roommates and I am sure there will be more stories in the coming months.

Much Love,
Autie
