Hey, Lincoln has been an adventure today. Tuesday was pretty much designated our college campus day. We started on the East Campus where the actual law college is. I received a tour of the college and then Professor Gardner, one of the law teachers who is LDS, met with us. He told us a little about the area and just visited with us. He informed us that there are 7 wards in the Lincoln area which makes up the one stake in this area. It was a fun visit with him. We had a lot of extra time, so we decided to just drive around and explore a bit of Lincoln. We looked around and then found ourselves right in downtown and at the City Campus. We walked around that campus for a while and found Memorial Stadium. We have never been around a football stadium of that size. We finished up at the Financial Aid office and then went to look into getting a parking pass for this coming school year. I guess we were spoiled in a Utah school, but parking will require my first born and my left leg. Later tonight we had a meeting with Bishop Christensen, one of the 7 bishops in the area. He showed us on a map where to avoid living and some of the better places to live. Especially refering to apartments in his ward boundaries. It was a shorter visit than we first anticipated, but it was helpful.
Here are a few fun Lincoln/Nebraska facts: The stop lights are not set vertical, but they are placed horizontally as you will see in one of our pictures. Next, there are signs all over town that say “Emergency Snow Route”. Which just means that if it snows a lot, you can’t park on that street any more. Which is what we are just naturally accustomed to in Utah and Wyoming. Everyone is really friendly out here and a lot of things remind me of Michigan!
Tomorrow is Traci’s day at the hospital and doing a lot of appointments with housing! Talk with you all soon!
