Joe took me to a cool restaurant with a tree inside for one of our dates and to the library (we read each other children's books!). I learned that it costs 50 cents to get a movie from the library - I never knew that it cost to rent anything at any library - and I've been to a lot in my day.
Other things we have learned about the great state of Illinois is their love for Lincoln. Our co-workers with Campus Crusade for Christ all have Lincoln pride. I like Lincoln and all, but Joe and I aren't to that point yet. We have been seeking to start CCC on some schools in Springfield, and thus were near the tomb site of good ole honest Abe. In case you weren't aware, his tomb is in a middle of a cemetery in Springfield, Illinois and now I can say I've been there. As I mentioned before that our staff team has Lincoln pride, so they took us.

There is a large Lincoln head there. You are supposed to rub his nose for good luck (that's why the nose is so golden in comparison to the rest of the head). I can say the tomb was actually pretty neat.
Daka, Brian, and Stephanie - students involved with CCC at ISU - having fun at "Winterfest".
We (Campus Crusade for Christ) just had a table at "Winterfest" at ISU. Winterfest is where students can come, explore, and gain information on all the campus organizations and groups. Students were asked if they would like to take a 60 second survey and then their name would be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift card to Potbelly restaurant. Some of the questions on the survey were based on if they would like more information on CCC, CCC events, bible study, if they would want to know God personally, and if they would be interested in taking a spiritual questionnaire at a later date. We were very excited as many students marked they would be interested in finding out more. Joe and I had fun manning the table with some of the students!
Hope you enjoyed a glimpse of our January! We are headed this upcoming week to Indiana for two different conferences with CCC!
