LIBERTY UNIVERSITY
Sunday, October 4th we woke up at 5:45 Am to drive the 7 hours it was going to take to get from Lexington, Kentucky to Lynchburg, Virginia. Faith and I took turns driving because it was such a long drive. While I was driving, the GPS decided, unannounced, to re-route our trip to the "scenic" route, which tacked on another hour. Not only that, but it was the most beautiful, magical, windy, car sick inducing ride of my life. I was the driver and I felt sick! We had to stop for a bit because people were getting sick!
BUT ti was all worth it! The people we met at Liberty were so amazing, and I had a ton of fun with them. The screening was huge! It was our biggest college screening to date, with 275 people showing up (this is huge for a college campus). The students were really interested in Invisible Children, and so supportive. The only bad part of the entire day was when I got up to do the conclusion and blanked. My teammates had been telling me how great I was at doing the conclusion, and I thought they were insane, but went to do it anyways. The deeper yes, remember? Well, when I got up there to do the conclusion Adam handed me an Activist Journal and I walked up to the mic. As soon as that thing touched my hands I am sure you could have seen tumble weeds passing through the inner workings of my ming. NOTHING! I was stumbling over all of my words, and could not figure out what I was saying. Eventually, I figured it out. I need my hands to talk!!! So, I put down the journal, took a deep breath and started over. It was an OK recovery, but I still totally blew it! BUT we had 29 people sign up to participate in the TRI donation program. Amazing, considering that was the one I blew the most in the conclusion! Thankfully, God doesn't need me to be perfect to get his message of peace across! (PS We raised the most money at the screening for Invisible Children as well! I guess it wasn't a total failure!)
After the screening, the Liberty students gave us a huge goodie bag with deoderant, tooth paste, mouth wash, TP, hand sanitizer, wet wipes, etc. AND Two $25 gift cards to Wal Mart AND a case of water that was donted by their Representative...yes, THEIR Representative!! So cool! We went out to Cracker Barrel that night, which was my first experience. LOVED IT!
The AMAZING Liberty students the waters that were donated to our team by their Representative
Enjoying the rocking chair at Cracker Barrel!
Me with all of the goodies we got from the Liberty Students
The aftermath of our reorganization of the van. The office asked us to re-count all of our merchandise. FUN!
