Today was an incredible day - the weather was much more "California" - like and we enjoyed beautiful sunshine and cool breezes.
We woke up to a great breakfast here at the hotel. Then, we loaded the buses and headed to Asuza Pacific University. We saw one of our former students - Austin Glass! He is really enjoying his time there and told us that you can snow board and go to the beach all in one day from APU.
We went to chapel there and then had a phenomenal tour of the campus. There are actually 2 campuses and our tour guide, Brittney, did a great job of showing us the ropes. We were all extremely impressed and we even learned how to do the school "sign", which is a cougar swipe! What a gorgeous campus and one that glorifies the Lord. Can I roll back the clock and go back to college, please?
After APU, we went over to Biola University. Most of us were unaware, but BIOLA stands for "Bible Institute of Los Angeles". Who knew? We also learned that every student and faculty member must be a professing Christian. What an incredible atmosphere there! We saw two alumnus - Casey Glass (younger sister of Austin Glass from APU) and Paige Warren. Casey introduced us to a special man in her life and Paige showed us all her dorm room. They stayed with us for most of the tour and we all enjoyed catching up with them both!
We arrived back at the hotel around 6:30 PM and left again for dinner at "The Block" around 7:00 PM. After 2 hours of dining and shopping, we made a quick run to the grocery store and then back to Ms. Crawford's room for a birthday party! Happy Birthday to Sophie Adickes! She is 17 today!!
Tomorrow morning we start out at the same time - 8:00 AM. Looking forward to some Hollywood time before USC. Then, Disneyland....Here we come! (Secretly we are all hoping to see some famous people tomorrow!)
Please continue to pray for safety for us and all IT students.
Blessings!
Carole and Toni
