More international exposure

I’ve now found out there are over 40 different countries represented in the student body. Another interesting story about the language challenges:

One of the second year students had sent an email of encouragement to the pastor who had spoken that morning and she said in it “Thanks for the great massage this morning.” No, the pastors do not make a regular practice of giving out rub downs to the women in church, she had just appreciated what he had preached about that morning.

I’m hearing more great stories all the time. One of the people here was recently traveling and after going through three levels of security at an airport and being cleared to board the plane, he looked at his passport and found out it was his wife’s. In his words “I’m a pretty decent looking guy, but I don’t look anything like a woman!” This happened only four days after the latest terrorist threats in London. How’s that for increased security. Fortunately, he has a passport (legally) from another country so he had one with his own picture with him and was still able to get on the plane.
