Montana is Pretty...

All of your little posts are so cute that I almost got tears in my eyes!  (I'm not sad, I just like everyone! :)

Are we like a little family?  Now I don't know if I'm supposed to write stories telling about my trip or just try to be cute and short like everyone else. :)

I just made it to my hotel in Missoula after night #1 in Kalispell.  My hotel in Kalispell was literally connected to a Shopping Mall.  Like if you kept walking down the hall of my hotel, you would walk right into the mall hallway.  Weird. :)  There was no Gap, David. :(

Today I had 5 school visits.  God bless my GPS! I made it pretty easily to all of them.  4 were public schools, and 1 Christian school.  I was disappointed by my visit at the Christian school, because no one showed interest/came to talk/filled out a card.  I just anticipated a more positive result.  From there, I drove fast to my 11am visit. It was a public school, but there was a room full of 12 students already waiting for me when I got there! God bless that counselor for recruiting them! I wanted to hug him, but then I thought of Jared, and knew it would not be appropriate.

At that same visit, I got the feeling that I had such good attendance at the cost of getting "Corban Eligible" students. Example:

Boy: "So, I know you guys are a Baptist school and everything, but is church attendance required?"

Me: "Well....It is very strongly encouraged, and it is expected."

Same Boy later: "Do you guys have fraternities?"

Me: "Uhhh no."

Again same Boy: "So is it like you basically HAVE to be a Christian to get accepted to your school?"

Me: "Yes."

:)

David will be happy to know that our song, Party in the USA, came on the radio today while I was sitting in traffic, and it made me happy.  

And Courtney! When I put up my display last night at the See You at the Pole Rally, I didn't look stupid! I did it right and the polls did not fall all over the place this time :)

I am so tired! :) Thanks everyone for warning me, so I knew to expect it. Thanks for all the prayers too! Today I got this surge of energy at about one and I thought, "Thank you, Jesus! Someone is praying for me!" :)

I am having fun though, even if all of my hotels' gyms consist of: a) one treadmill and b) one bike, in a room that is the size of a guest room. :)
