a post :)

I've had quite a few people bug me about writing another blog post. So this post is for the people who have bugged me about it for weeks. [ you know who you are ;) ] Now that I sit down to write a blog post, I don't know how to start it. November has been a very very busy month for my family. And it's not even over yet! November 5th - 9th, I went with Joshua and some friends to a Pro Life camp in Denton Texas. Justice for All  goes to many different college campuses, so the "camp" isn't just in Texas. Though this is the second time they have been to UNT.  [ My mom took us all, Micah tagged along :) ] It was amazing. I didn't want to leave. There's so much stuff I could talk about, but that would make the longest blog post in history, so I'll just write a short version. 


 Sunday we arrived around 11:00am and began training around 1:00pm. We trained until about 6:00pm, not stopping at all. Our heads were crammed full by 3:00pm :) All of our mentors were amazing. 

very beginning of all the training :)

all together, I think there was about thirty of us, not including our mentors.


Monday we went out to the University of North Texas. I have never been on a college campus before. Well, I have, but for a seconds, not all day. This was not what I imagined college to be like. Justice for All sets up a huge two story museum quality display usually, but the weather wasn't very great, so they set up their smaller 8ft display, polls tables and the free speech board.

                                     

Basically what we did on Monday and Tuesday was stand around the display and start conversations with the college students. Almost all the college students we talked to wanted to give their opinion. Everyone had at least one interesting conversation. One of my mentors had a three hour long conversation with a student.

Joshua and a friend talking with one of the college students,
this conversation went on  for about an hour.
We usually started a conversation with "What do you think of the display" and usually the answer was "It's disgusting." Justice for All uses very graphic images to get across just how horrible abortion really is. 

a group of feminists set up a few tables across the sidewalk from Justice For All's exhibit. There was a bunch of chanting, circling around JFA's exhibit chanting, and a whole bunch of  rather heated conversations. [heated on their part.] The guy in the blue shirt was one of our mentors. 

    

all the people that went with us. [awesome] By the way, I am as tall as my mom, but I was leaning because Micah wasn't letting me hold him. Just thought I'd let you know that...

Along with going to the Campus and talking about Abortion, the four days consisted of a bunch of random conversations with friends, mini golf, basketball, ultimate Frisbee, practicing our chipmunk voices [ooh yes.], campfires, singing and a million games of Do you love your neighbor.
I really really really want to go into detail about this trip, but this post has taken me five days to write, and I can't imagine how long a full detailed post would take. So I will leave you with this post, and I'll try to write another one soon :)
