Fall Retreat!!

Hey guys! Sorry it has taken so long! Actually, we are so excited about the things that the Lord did during Fall Retreat this year that we actually just sent you out a prayer letter about it! So be looking for that in your mailbox any day now, if you don't have it already!
For those of you who just can't wait, we had a great retreat!
We joined with 2 other campuses for our retreat this year, and we brought 30 students from SFA to get away from normal life, and to connect with God. The students got to hear from Erin O'Brein, the Campus Director for Campus Crusade for Christ for Texas State, and the whole southwest Texas region. We were blessed to get to hear him talk about God's will for our lives, and how we can please him, honor him, and make decisions that bring him the glory!
In addition to the great talks, we had retreat Olympics, and hoedown, coffee shop, and great time with students from our campus!
Some of the coolest things happen when its 2am. I have gotten to know a girl pretty well over the last few weeks on campus, and she had gotten to come on the retreat. The room where Vince and I were staying was having some problems with the shower draining, and so on Sat at 1am after the hoedown, I walked over to the girls bunks to borrow their shower. On my way, I ran into this sweet girl, and she was sitting alone outside. We got a chance to talk for the next hour about things that were going on in her life, and I got to challenge her to pursue Christ, and to allow Him to carry her burdens. It was a really wonderful conversation, and if we had not been on Fall Retreat, up crazy late, and had a shower that didn't drain, I would probably not have gotten the opportunity to have that conversation! Shortly after, I showered so fast, and fell sound asleep from exhaustion, but it was 100% worth the late night to get a chance to invest in this sweet woman's life!
Thanks for your prayers for the weekend! We are so encouraged by what God is doing, and literally we feel so blessed to be part of it!
Thanks guys!
