August in CO

Welcome week is well underway and it is super exciting!
These past couple of weeks we have been getting to know the city, team building, and making our house into a home. It starting with a 24 hour car ride here, and then the most awesome welcome from our church, Foothills Assembly of God, that we could have never even dreamed of! They were waiting in the streets with banners and all kinds of signs to welcome us! Then they fed us a much needed lunch, and they all helped us unload all of our furniture and boxes! It was very surreal to be loved so much by people we hadn't even met yet! It was much needed and we are so grateful and excited to get to know this family even more. Jake's mom, dad, and sister along with my mom came along for the adventure and helped us out so much with the unpacking. We were also able to do some sight seeing in Estes Park while they were here. It was great sharing the experience of moving with them.





Dorm move ins were amazing, we met new students and were able to connect with some that had talked to Nate this summer about being a part of Chi Alpha. We are excited about what the Lord is going to do this year! More pictures and stories to come!

Please be praying for our events we are hosting this weekend and this week, along with our first official Chi Alpha large group meeting this Thursday!
Side note: we are calling the CSU chapter of Chi Alpha "The Outpost" so that it is not confused with a fraternity; they have a horrible rep here
