Duluth 2014

Had a ton of interesting experiences this past program.

Wish I had pictures of everything, but this is what I have on my phone.

Ill post more if I get some. A few other people have some that were there.

 The trip to Duluth, pretty sunrise out the window.
 First day canvassing, got stung by a wasp right above my eye.... Hurt a lot, still canvassed a guy and he got a GC.
 Went to the rose gardens in downtown Duluth. Beautiful lake superior. We spent Sabbath afternoon there.
 Railroad tracks are cool, good for pics.
 Part of the crew. Steven is the middle guy, I like how he wore his Vibram 5 fingers everywhere, Im glad I just bought some 5 fingers too.... Im curious to how some people will react to my new footwear.
 We skipped rocks, Eugene delightfully threw massive rocks trying to get them to skip.
 Some spiffy graffiti, that tunnel in the back goes through the mountains straight for three miles, Steven and another church member James went all the way through... I really want to try that too.
 After closing Sabbath we got some awesome vegan pizza.... I could eat myself into a coma with this stuff.
 First full canvassing week I went into a walgreens and came out and there was a car wreck right outside the door. Ended up in an amazing divine appointment afterwards.
 Friday and Sabbath we went to Aminicon falls in Wisconsin. I recommended it because I had been here before since I been in this area a bit when I was younger. Its water looks like root beer.
 We got a little late start. But had a pretty sunset starting.
 Sarah and Amanda and I became better friends this program. They are much more entertaining to watch than I expected. Especially when they slip and fall into the water.
 My favorite falls... Mostly cause the name.
 Random pic, but I like how it turned out.
 On Sabbath we went back.... But I had sort of like a panic attack trying to get everyone to get there, a flurry of frustrating circumstances spurred me to run off by myself into the forest.
 I ran and ran as far as the trail would go until I let out all my anxiety and pent up frustration.
 I ended up all alone, in with this beautiful scenery and me. It was so so so peaceful, I'm thankful God made such soothing nature for us in time like this.
 The next Friday we visited another falls at Lester park, This was a lot of fun.
 We ran around a lot, I constantly had to back track to wait for the group.
 Had some great views.

 I was so far ahead I ran and crossed the river to take a picture of them.
 Majestic walkway.... I wanted a huge old castle to be at the top. But it was just apartments... Maybe one day ill go and build one at the top just so others aren't disappointed.

Ended out walk with a goofy picture. Took us a couple tries to get no cars passing by in the picture.
 after our walk we went to the mall, Had to take a picture of this super true statement.
 After we had awesome noodles at the mall it was off the Enger tower, which is the highest point in the city, you could see the entire bay and beyond.
 Near the tower was an awesome Japanese garden... I freaked out, I loved it so much...
 Obviously I rang the bell... a few times.
 last sunday of the program... Biggest house Ive canvassed. the got a Christ Object Lessons and let me inside. :D
 Last day, canvassed a Shriners club (part of freemasons). Nicest lady ever worked here. I  love these places, the secretary was already reading the Great Controversy and said she really enjoyed it too, and decided to get a Desire of Ages to help at her womans Bible study she leads.
On our way home we stayed the night at David Pano's parents motel... They had a bed the would vibrate.... Me and Brody took full advantage and had a fun time just laying there.


Great trip. Fun times. Helped souls. Praise God.
