| The theme for the week: Pursue |
As you know, every year we travel with the Vincennes FM Bible Quiz Team to Nationals every year. This year nationals took place at Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, NY. We had a great week at nationals this year, watched lots of quizzing, played lots of scum (a card game...so fun), and even ate a garbage plate!
It is always encouraging to see and hear so many youth memorizing the Bible! I know not all of them are making the best decisions, but the Word of God is in them, and no one can take that from them!

One of the things I love most about nationals is the time we get to spend with our friends and David's family! This year, Amanda came too! (she is Jonathan's girlfriend) AND this is the first nationals that the Swanks have been married! I LOVE having the girls around! Before last year, I was the only older girl (besides the actual adults)! These girls are such a great added blessing to my week!

We also snuck away one evening to get a Garbage Plate! Oh my! I will post about this later! YUM!
On the way to Rochester, we stopped at Lake Erie! The Great Lakes are named appropriately, because they are HUGE! It is so crazy to not be able to see the other side of a lake!

| Niagara Falls 2013 |
On the way home from Rochester, we stopped at Niagara Falls. I have now been there 3 times. (Once, I stayed in Canada with my sister and brother-in-law...and now twice with the Bible Quiz Group) We did the Cave of the Winds the last two times that we have visited. I like it WAY better than the Maid of the Mist!
Overall, it was a great week...exhausting, but still great!
