Our last campus day was Wednesday. My team and I were able to visit three campuses that day, two being planned and the last one being random. Langara College, a relatively large campus with many students, was our first stop. However, we didn’t stay long seeing as we had a full day ahead of us. We stayed long enough for Adam to wade through a small fountain after a duck, to eat lunch, and try to obtain the information we needed.
After that we headed to Vancouver Premier College in Vancouver. The college was small and we were soon on our way. While walking around, we spotted Gateway College and decided that we might as well check it out seeing as we were here anyway.
Once we finished there, we headed up the road to the mall in hopes to set up Soularium. We were shut down and decided to go back to City Central Mall where we knew we could set up Soularium and not be asked to leave.
We arrived, split the pictures into two groups and essentially set up two Soulariums at opposite ends of the Food Court. After a while we decided to put the two picture groups back together in hopes of more conversation. It worked. Several people stopped by our table and we had many conversations.
Adam and I had the opportunity to talk with a young lady named Lee for approximately an hour about what she believed (nontheistic but open to religion), what we believed, and many other things. She went to Sunday School for a few years and knew the basics, but said that nothing really stuck. She didn’t see any hard evidence.
It was then that I showed her the book I had recently been reading, The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel and explained that he conducted his own investigations about the accuracy of the Bible and what is said about Jesus. As the thought of giving the book to her entered my mind, Adam silently mouthed to me that I should give it to her. So, I did. She acted grateful and said she would definitely read it.
We talked with her for quite a while before she finally headed off to meet her boyfriend. After she left, Adam made the comment that we should have gotten her contact information so we could at least keep in touch and maybe even discuss things further if she has questions. We headed off in the direction she left in hopes to find her. We did and exchanged information. We packed up and headed back to PLBC soon after.
That evening after debriefing, Laura, Liesl, Brett, Marisol, Christina, and I began watching Transformers 2. While watching, out of the corner of my eye I noticed a small creature entering the room. I pointed at it and yelled (not screamed, there is a difference) and it ran away. I believe it was a rat. :-/
About 30 minutes later, it tried to come in again. I noticed it and then heard Liesl scream which caused both Marisol and I to scream. I wasn’t scared and Marisol didn’t even see it, but we still screamed. We all retired to our beds after the movie (and rodent excitement) was over.
