One of the many new things for me this year was an RUF parents' brunch. Lots of RUFs do a parents' brunch to introduce parents to what RUF believes and why it exists on campus. It can also be a good time to help fundraise. We had a good turnout for our brunch this year, and had our area coordinator John Stone speak, as well as MTSU's campus minister Paul Boyd. One of our seniors shared about how RUF has impacted her life, and the intern crew also got up to do a Q & A with the parents.

I hosted a freshman/new student Christmas party at my one-bedroom apartment — and we had 28 people show up! We enjoyed snacks, did a White Elephant swap, and watched "Elf." It was really great to have so many people show up, and we were encouraged to have people inviting their friends.

A family from Trinity Pres graciously hosted RUF's annual Christmas party. We had a tacky Christmas sweater competition and a bake-off!

Thank you again for your prayers and support throughout this semester. We are excited about what the Lord has in store for us this semester — please continue to pray for us!
