Past week we had visitors from the States in our international Church. The Chi Alpha (XA) Team from Sam Houston State University, (Huntsville-Texas) came with 7 people to see what XA in Leiden is doing. XA Leiden just started this year- and since our universities here are so totally different from Universities in the States it is very different- and sort of hard for the Americans to adjust it to the Dutch situation. But it was great to have the team here- I went with the leadership team from XA Leiden to pick them up from the Airport and spent quite alot of time with them, well especially with the girls:) Here we are in Steve and Julies house having our bi-weekly biblestudy, this time lead by the Texas XA team. They brought their instruments- so was really cool. This time were with just 6 nationalities, mainly americans this time;) Sometimes we are with 9 or even more nationalities- very special because we all come from different cultures, countries, even continents, so very different but the common thing is that we are all Christians and want to follow Christ!
Here is the Texan XA team together with Emma, Steve and Julie- the XA Leiden leadership (the three on the down-right:)
And this is part of XA Leiden as well. We came together at Cora's house and had sort of a potluck dinner. This picture was taken before we said our goodbye's. It was a real blessing to have the team here and talk with them and share with them. It is encouraging to know that we are not just on our own, but that there are Chrisitians all over the world!
