[Faith-talk] New Experience On the Horizon

[Linda Mentink]

Hi Kevin,

It's a bit overwhelming, but you'll meet a lot of nice people and 
hear lots of enthusiastic noise! I don't think you'll get stuck 
in the bird cage.  In fact, you'll hardly hear the birds once the 
crowd gets there.  Allow yourself plenty of time to get where 
you're going.  The elevators will be crowded, except on the last 
three mornings when you're going to devotions! Hahaha! I'm sure 
you'll go to at least the one at which Sarah is speaking, and I'm 
sure you'll attend the Communities of Faith Division meeting, at 
which she is also speaking, so I'll meet you, to which I am 
looking forward.

Since we now can have the agenda in electronic format, I download 
it ahead of time and mark the time for the meetings I need to be 
attending.  I also go through the exhibitors list and mark the 
tables I'd like to check out.  That's tricky this year, since 
products are not mentioned.

The last time I checked, the Braille hotel restaurant menus 
weren't posted.  I like to get them as well, so I can look them 
over and maybe decide where and what I'd like to eat.  Speaking 
of which, I'm alone in my room this year, and am looking for 
people who'd like a meal companion.  My roommate usually ate with 
me a few times, but she is not able to attend this year due to 
being in a rehab center.  She, Evelyn Weckerly, would appreciate 
any prayers on her behalf.  She feels badly that I have to pay 
for the whole room, but she has a heart velve that's not keeping 
up.

Anyway, Kevin, I'll be praying for you.  I'm sure you'll make 
many new friends and eat lots of good food!

Blessings,

Linda

Next week I will be attending my first ever NFB convention.  I am 
no stranger to conventions, as I have attended several national 
conventions of the, um, other blindness organizations.  Even 
still, I have the distinct impression next week will be a 
completely new and different experience for me.  I am asking for, 
yes, prayers next week, prayers that all will go smoothly and 
that I won't wind up getting caught in the bird cage in the 
lobby.  Anyway, I am looking forward to it, albeit with a bit of 
anxiety thrown in.  Hope to meet at least some of you there.
