campus visit

we left for OCC on monday morning with 9 students, 1 parent, and timmy and me.  it was so fun. it was so good for getting to know students better, and i think they got a pretty good taste of life on campus as well.  i mean, we ate dinner in the caff, we played in the student center and ordered pizza, and then timmy took them out on the town to take pictures, and they made it back just in time for curfew =) how right on is that?  then tuesday, breakfast in the caff, acts with mark moore, chapel (aww frontline and brother bru) a seminar with a financial advisor, lunch with matt proctor (el presidente) and a campus tour before they filled out their applications.  it was good.  i thought it gave them a pretty good taste.  

also.  my mom and dad came and visited which was wonderful. then lindsay came by and visited.  we got to say hi to j will and jiggy and see a ton of friends who are finishing up school and professors we miss and laura thiele hung out with us on our campus tour.  timmy got to spend lunch tuesday with his mentor, josh quade --and  i spent the night with linds monday night because they didn't have a bed for me- there was a miscommunication about the number of girls coming.  however, since enrollment is down, all the boys got beds- i think the other girls dorms had beds too, but i thought it would be really fun to visit linds, i haven't gotten to talk to her in so long.

our trip home to keokuk went well too.  we had such a good visit but it was really nice to get home.  we were just so thankful (to God) for the weekend.  we got to spend some real time with students and be encouraged all in the same two days.  very cool.

love.
