My awesome tour guide =)

I visited Ottawa for the past weekend to see the Dead Sea Scrolls. It was actually a 1.5-day trip, but it was lovely. =) I really enjoyed the exhibit and the quality time that I spent with my high school friend Kai-An. The best part of the trip was seeing God behind the scenes, from our planning of the trip to my departure from Ottawa.

Our original plan was to meet at the museum because Kai-An was taking the Greyhound from Toronto, and I was taking the train from Kingston. However, we ended up "bumping" into each other on an Ottawa transit bus! We happened to have gotten on the SAME BUS to get to the museum! According to our schedules, I was supposed to be at the museum before Kai-An, but my unplanned delays had brought me onto the same bus which Kai-An got on...

For my departure, I was planning to get on Bus #8, then switch to Bus #95 to get to the train station. Since the Parliament tour was a little longer than we had expected, I decided to take the cab to the station because I would have missed the bus. However, I was trying out my "luck" to see if the bus would be delayed due to the snow, but I ended up getting on Bus #95 "accidentally" and got to the train station without the need of switching buses. =)

Anyway, you would probably want to know about how the Scrolls were....hehe....well, I think it was very cool to see God's word in such an ancient form, and it's encouraging to know that the verses on the Scrolls actually match very closely with the Bible. The other exhibits shown with the Scrolls were very interesting as well.

All in all, I am thankful for the amazing tour guide I had for this trip. =) I don't think I can find another person who can do a better job than He does...=)
