The Final Day in NYC by Abby (a pilgrim)
Yesterday we got the opportunity to watch a documentary about the firefighters in the Ladder 1 firehouse which was the fire station to respond to the World Trade Centers on September 11, 2001. All but one of the firefighters from Ladder 1 were in the building when the first tower collapsed and all of them survived. We had a time of small silence as we traveled to Ground Zero. I was amazed at how large the area was where the towers once stood.
After viewing Ground Zero we got to explore New York City with our small groups! This was a very fun time shopping and people watching. Dinner, as most events are with Wonder Voyage was a surprise. We ate at Stardust Diner, a restaurant where all of the waiters are aspiring broadway stars. As you can imagine, this a very fun place where we got to dance and just have fun after a long week of working and serving.
Last night, we each shared our moment of transformation/reconciliation. This was an incredible moment in which God’s presence was evident to everyone This week has been an incredible growing experience for me. I have been learning how God wants to use me for His works and what my spiritual destiny is.
