Last weekend I had two opportunities to make new friends! First, I went out for lunch with a young family. We had a great time learning more about each other and God's calling on our lives. They were such a neat couple and their kids were adorable! It was so nice to be with a family (even though it wasn't my own). I loved it!
Later that afternoon, Sarah and I went to the church soccer game...kind of like church softball except these guys are professionals :) If I'm honest, I hardly watched the game. The pastor and his wife were there as well as another couple from the church. It was really nice to talk in a relaxed setting (without responsibilities, or other people) As we began talking, it came out that one of the women went to CALVIN!!! We were the bigger people and continued talking :) Also at the game was a local Moroccan woman. She was so friendly and offered to help Sarah and I with our Arabic!
I am so lucky to have so many people who care about me! I miss everyone from home, but I have also been blessed to find a number of friends here. "Starting over" is not easy, and sometimes I wish I could just go out for coffee with my best friends. Yet what a cool thing that I get to build friendships with so many different types of people.
