We began on Thursday at 11 after a couple of morning classes. Nine 15-passenger vans carried all of us to Petersburg, Kentucky in about five hours. We got to see and hear a couple of amazing lectures in the evening about man's word versus God's Word, and (my personal favorite) one that involved staring at a single drop of dirty pond water through a microscope for half an hour. It's incredible what an Almighty Creator can pack into something as small and insignificant as that drop!
Myself and three other girls stayed overnight with a wonderfully hospitable young couple and their two adorable kids. On Thursday night they brought us tons of food from Skyline, which is apparently a big Cincinnati, Ohio thing- cinnamon-flavored chili over spaghetti covered in a mound of finely shredded cheddar cheese. Weird and gross, right? WRONG. This stuff was delicious, and I don't even like chili!
Friday morning we packed up and headed back over to the museum for two more lectures and then an afternoon of touring the actual museum and its beautiful gardens. It was simply staggering to see so many people dedicating their lives entirely to promoting & spreading the truth.
Another fun-filled van ride and we were back at ABC by 10:30 on Friday night. It was a fantastic trip and I made bunches of wonderful new friends during our hours of "bonding time" in the van. We sang hymns, shared testimonies, played TONS of good car games, wrote stories, and, well, contemplated the meaning of life. Haha.
Anyway, it's good to be back at home-away-from-home. I'm so thankful to have had this marvelous experience and ever more grateful to God for His handiwork in creating this beautiful planet we call Earth.
