For Italian Ph.D. student Erica, arriving in the US was a mixture of emotions, from the excitement of a new adventure to the sadness of leaving her family behind. She happened to attend the OSU Welcome Picnic where she befriended IFI staff, Fabi, who immediately took her under her wing. Amidst deciding whether or not she should stay, Erica also had spiritual conversations with Fabi about where she belonged eternally. ✨ Read the whole story at this link: https://loom.ly/qK3YUow #ifiusa #internationalstudents #endofyear #campaign #totheendsoftheearth
