Update at L'Abri


So to y'all this is being posted at the same time as the last post, but I'm actually writing a couple of weeks later. L'Abri continues to be awesome, so here is an update on what has happened.
Boston was really fun. I went with two other students, Tabb
y and Rene. We went to the Union Oyster House, which is the oldest restaurant in the US and was delicious, then we went to see some historic places like Paul Revere's house and the Old North Church, which is where the "one if by land, two if by sea" thing happened to signal Paul Revere. Then we went to the Isabella Gardner museum, which is basically this lady's beautiful house with a great art collection. This is a picture of the inside of the house:
It was incredible. Our next day off was my birthday, which was great. The night before Tabby made me a cake and everyone sang Happy Birthday, and then the next day I went to Chili's and got to have birthday cake ice cream with brownie for dessert at dinner. Overall it was a pretty great birthday. On Saturday night we had a pizza party and everyone dressed up like superheroes (they could be invented). I was Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
The next night was youtube night, and we all showed our favorite youtube videos. It was hilarious.
I've also still been learning a lot. I've listened to a lot of lectures on postmodernism and have been thinking about how relativism is true for so many things in the world, but then there are some things that are absolute. I've also been learning about the Holy Spirit and what he does, especially about how the fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace...) can only come from him since while you can act like you have those things, they have to grow in your heart to be real, which is something only the Spirit can do.
So anyway, I hope y'all are having a great year and miss y'all!
Hope
