Its been a fantastically interesting day in Indianapolis! Ignoring the sweltering heat on our walk to our legislative sessions this morning and ignoring the arctic temperatures maintained inside of the conference center, the conditions could not be more perfect for a wonderful trip! As a chaperone, I had the distinct privilege of getting lost in no less than 3 hotels and our conference center, all in the name of delivering young adults to and attending different events and sessions.
I have been absolutely floored by the beautiful art that has been gathered together here. From our group mid-morning worship (a Bach canon preformed by a steel drum band from Brooklyn stuck out especially) to intricately designed albs and baptismal fonts in an impromptu art museum, the love of our great Church is present everywhere you go.
From what I can tell, all youth are enjoying the experience, a few have even expressed a desire to return as deputies.
All in all it's been a great time.
Lovely to catch up with old friends, make new friends, and network network network! Hi to Iowa!
