Jr/Sr Bible Conference (October 23, 2006)

This last weekend I was at a Bible Conference at Leoni Meadows. The speaker, Elliot Smith was really good, the music was excellent, and the camp itself had burst into the flaming leaves of fall.
I made two new friends at this conference, Sarah Brown and Christina Gaughan from Rio Lindo, who I met in an unusual way. All three of us got lost on our way to afterglow (where everyone sits around a campfire and sings songs), and we helped each other find it. We started talking, and we spent most of the weekend together.
Sabbath was one packed day. There were two meetings in the morning, and after lunch, my new friends and I went up to the nature center. There was tons of cool stuff to see there, and we actually found the petting zoo, where we looked at the llamas. On our way back to the main building, we found this really cool rope swing, and spent most of the rest of our free time swinging on it.
After the night meeting, we played an awesome game of Battle of the Sexes. At one point, I was wrapped in masking tape for a challenge. Unfortunately, the girls lost, but we put up a good fight.
I was sorry to leave on Sunday morning. Sarah and Christina were really cool people, and I wished I could have spent even more time with them. However, duty calls back at home; Fiddler on the Roof goes up this Sunday, and every spare moment will be devoted to the show. I look forward to seeing some of you there, and wish you safe travel.
