Recently, we got involved in the International Friendship Program at Purdue. The program pairs us with international students at Purdue that get to be our friends. This provides the students an opportunity to get into an American home, which unfortunately most don’t get to do. For us, it is a chance to learn about a new culture, and get to know even more students at Purdue.
Last week we met our friends for the first time. Yi Yi, Ray and Zara are all students from Malaysia studying at Purdue. We learned about their favorite foods, which they hope to cook for us the next time we meet. As we shared about our lives, the two girls were particularly interested in our wedding pictures. They loved the fact that the guys had worn orange shoes [and couldn't believe how many shoes Mike owns]. We love that we are able to build relationships like this and it is another way that we can serve God as a team.
For Christ and the University,
Mike & Annie
