August 14

Today was spent at a conference center with a Campus Crusade team from Boston. They are being trained how to teach an abstinence education program called “Better Choices” to schools in the Valley. I was able to learn all about their curriculum, which is very different from the other one I have been looking at. All in all it was a productive and good day. From their, Janet picked me up and we went to see the school where Tim went for 8th-12th grade, called Kearsney College. It is amazing! It is like a mini-university with stately buildings, multiple athletic facilities, a coffee shop, clothing store, and dorms. Maybe boarding schools in the Northeast are like that, but it had more in common with SMU than Auburn High! Then we went to church to set up for Alpha. James also had to help set up early, so I didn’t have to hang out with all adults the whole time :). Once again, I really enjoyed Alpha and my small group, and I wish I could stay!!! I didn’t want to have to say goodbye to my friends yet, so I made sure we had plans to hang out tomorrow night.
