The Twin Cities

"Are there any lakes in Minnesota?" asked Ana. "You are kidding right" says Killa. "Hey, I'm just a foreigner, and I can be excused for my ignorance" giggles Ana.

I absolutely love the Twin Cities. After weddings and babies, I got to go wedding planning, wedding gown shopping, and party it up at the Twin Cities with my good friend Killa. I had such a blast. Minneapolis and Saint Paul are beautiful. It is just the right combination of city life with green areas, and as I found out, thousands of lakes. I seriously am considering applying for jobs here after I graduate. I loved the people I met. The Twin Cities absolutely blew my expectations. I couldn't believe how diverse they were and how modern, to be completely honest. I had the best time salsa dancing with my new friends and was encouraged by the healthy lifestyle that apparently the whole state brags about. I've been told it's one of the top ten places to live in the United States, and I would believe it! I was very much inspired and challenged by John Piper's sermons on 2 Timothy 3-4 and the lives of my fellow brethren at Bethlehem Baptist.

God is so good and he doesn't cease to amaze me. Praise God for time spent with great friends and for Minneapolis and Saint Paul. It was truly a blessing to be there! Funny thing is that I barely took any pictures!

Apparently... The best Pupusas in town.

Having a little piece of home even those we are far away!

Enjoying a Pale Ale... Here is to the Twin Cities!

The coolest Vietnamese I've ever met! Happy Birthday Tina! Thank you for all your hospitality, warmth, and kindness!

Yeah... ready for some dancing!

Befriended the Cameroonians! Patrick it was so fun to hang out with you guys! We will party it up again at Killa's wedding!

Bethlehem. Is it the Piper Snipers Killa? Did I get that right? JK

Thank you for your patience and friendship! I miss you and am proud of what God is doing in your life!

"But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness...Not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing." 2 Timothy 4:5-8

Fighting the good fight, continuing the race, and keeping the faith! Blessings and love to all!
