National Gathering Day One Complete! (June 30th)

WE'VE ARRIVED!

After traveling for almost 6 hours, we were overjoyed to finally arrive in San Antonio! Jaime, the Emilys, and Taylor walked down to the Convention Center to discover this huge mountain of backpacks! 

After carrying all 28 backpacks back to our hotel, they were greeted by 24 eagerly awaiting youth excited to try out their brand new backpacks! We then strapped on our new backpacks and walked down the street to see the Alamo! (Picture below) We were all excited to finally see the Alamo after learning about it in our history classes! 

We were given some time to then explore the river walk, running into many other excited youth groups!  After time at the river walk, we walked back to our hotel to reflect upon the long day. Like expected, most people hopped into bed right afterward, however, some decided to spend some time in the pool! By 10:30, all lights were out, and everyone was getting some much needed sleep! 

We miss everyone at home and hope that everyone is having a great start to their week!
