Having looked over my Vlog, I decided to add some more written thoughts to better express my experience at the Episcopal College Student Gathering. Here we go:
Colorado was so amazing. It was my first time in the snow! The
entire trip was one adventure after another. Even the blackout meant
that we got to eat by candlelight, which was awesome :) I plan on
staying at TLU another 2 years so I can go again! Not really, but that
would be ideal.
My favorite part, which I didn't get to record, was my small group.
We used each topic as a jumping platform to talk about whatever we
wanted. I have never had such an amazing small group. We talked
about everything from the music and type of pie we like (did you know
that if you eat pie from crust to tip, you can make a wish on the
tip?) to Christian responsibility towards to environment and
religion's role in relationships, sex, and sexual ethics. I may even
be staying with a couple of my small group peers when I visit Chicago
for seminary.
I also got to talk to one of the priests, who I don't think I can
thank enough for his insight into the process of becoming ordained. I
learned so much in just talking with him for half an hour, and it made
such a difference in how I approach the entire process.
So, basically, the snow and cold were fun, but ultimately, it was the
people that I met, and the relationships I cultivated that really made
this trip super special to me.
