Today was a nice day! I got to spend the whole day with my dad, attending the Baptist General Convention of Texas. We attended a luncheon for the Texas Baptist Missions Foundation, honoring three individuals who have contributed so much over the course of their lives to improve their communities, meet basic needs, and to reach their respective corners of the world for Christ. We then attended the first general session, which was really interesting. We ended our day with a dinner for Wayland Baptist University alumni who were attending the convention. It was in honor of Wayland's 100th anniversary. We saw a great video talking about the history of Wayland and where they are heading in the future. It was really interesting to hear about the world-wide impact they are making with campuses in Kenya, Arizona, Alaska, Texas and many, many more places. It's truly amazing to see their devotion to missions and outreach. The icing on the cake today was that my dad got to see several of his old friends and that was great, too.
