Final Day of Conference

7/24:  This is a little late being posted, since a lot of things have happened this week, but here it is now.
   For our last Young Adult Bible Hour we talked about how God has our name written on his hand.  After discussing this we drew a picture of the Earth with God's hands holding it up, with one of the hands having our names on it.  Written on the Earth were seven C's.  Which each stood for something different.  "C"elebration, "C"ompassion, "C"ollaboration, "C"hrist's Kingdom, In"C"arnation, "C"omplications, and "C"ovenant.
    During lunch I was a busser.  During free time Jeremy, Rachel, Walter, and I hung out at McKelvey.  Jeremy worked on editing the video he made with Walter, while Walter took a nap and Rachel and I made friendship bracelets.  Jeremy was able to finish editing the video while we were sitting there so we got to watch it.  Jeremy showed Maddy part of it before he had been done. along with Dan.
   We decided not to stay in the dining hall for since it was the last night, instead we went to Pizza Joe's with a few other people: Diedra, Hannah, Josh, and a few others.  Rachel and Jeremy stopped at Mugsies quick while we waited for our pizzas to use their gift certificates.
   We were finally able to sit on the couch at the Young Adult meeting after hoping to earlier in the week.  (Rachel, Jeremy. and I), however Rachel chose to sit somewhere else so it was Jeremy, Mary, and I on the couch.  During the Vespers meetings we were given the chance to go up front and give a speech about what he had learned throughout the week.  I was one of the people who went up, and told the story about actually getting to go to Conference after praying about it, and how Conference was like the only thing Jeremy ever talked about, and Pokemon, with a little bit of tie-dye.  Jeremy said that it had been the funniest thing he had heard all week, and he was glad I came.  Also about how everyone had given me such high expectations, I never thought would be met, but they were.

      That night Ellen decided to take our small group out to the labyrinth.  When we left we made sure the small group that was sitting in the lobby knew by singing the Dora Explorer Theme Song with Labyrinth words instead.  (Usually this would have been embarrassing, but everyone participated in the singing and marching of the song).  "Everybody lets go, come on get to work, I know that we can do it!  Where are we going? Labyrinth, where are we going Labyrinth!"  (We're pretty cool).   We decided to drive to the labyrinth instead of walking, which I was happy about.  We got there around 11:30 at night and while we were looking at it, Ellen stopped twice to scare us in the process. :P.  We walked the labyrinth and when we got to the center we prayed about our fears and sang together.  During this beautiful time of prayer and singing, a dinosaur sized mosquito landed on my knee.  I guess Pennsylvania has some huge mosquitoes....When we got back, we sang another song and marched up the stairs.  I then hung out in the lobby for a little bit as people played Spoons, made friendship bracelets, and Smash.
