--- XA Costume Party 
A few snapshots from the annual XA Costume Party. A team of students did a great job planning and organizing the party. As always, the costumes were extremely creative and hilarious!
In case you are not sure what the costumes are in the top picture --- this is "Candi and Shawn" --- thus the pregnant tummy, bling necklace, flower in hair... and for "Shawn" - the facial hair, flip flops, ASU hat and a Bible!!! hahaha --- Great job Emily and Michelle! As they say... Imitation is the greatest form of flattery! :)
---XA Family Thanksgiving Dinner---
The Wednesday night before Thanksgiving... we celebrated --XA Style-- at our house. We ran into a great problem... we were expecting 25 to 30 students and ended up with more like 55!!!
Shawn did a fabulous job carving the turkey ... he definitely carved it to the bone!
Thankfully, God really does multiply food!
Students brought all sorts of delicious foods!
Our house was packed and extremely loud... but to look around and see so many students- eating, laughing, playing games...building new friendships... and sharing the love our Christ... Our hearts felt very thankful and blessed to see how God has blessed the ASU XA family!
--- XA Christmas Party ---
A Fabulous way to end our Fall 2010 semester... the XA Christmas Party! We were blessed to be able to (once again) use the Joneses' Home for our Christmas Party (Thanks!!). We had a great turn out of students.... ate yummy food, played games, had the "reveal" for our XA Secret Sister and just hung out... but the coolest time of the night... is when we all gathered together in the living room, to worship together and share testimonies. Various students stood up and testified to what the Lord has done in their lives this semester.... How encouraging to hear stories of changed lives..... We are always in awe of how God can build relationships in such a short amount of time... that some of these students we literally just met about 4 months ago and we now feel like we have known them for much longer... they are truly are part of our XA Family!!
We praise God for such a vibrant semester of ministry within ASU XA!
We are thankful to the many individuals and churches that have faithfully supported us in prayer and finances! We know that without this great team of people... we cannot do what we do!
So... with humbled hearts... we thank you for your investment into the XA Family and the Kingdom of God!
We know the best is yet to come! We look to 2011.. believing God for great and mighty things to take place at Arizona State and beyond!
Please Pray:
- For students as they are back at their homes--- especially for those that are experiencing a difficult transition and may not have spiritual support from their families.
-Increased laborers for ASU XA! We are in great need for full time, part time staff and volunteers! Spark your interest? Email us! asu_xa@hotmail.com :)
