While he diligently whizzing through the badges, Julie and I left on July 5th at 1:30 AM with six others to make the treck down to Kentucky. Don't worry...many of us were able to sleep for a good bit of the first few hours. Eleven hours later, the conference campus came into sight and a week of amazing preaching and fellowship began. You can listen to all of the sermons on sermonaudio.com: My personal favorites were Pastor Jeremy Walker's mini series on 2 Kings 13 and the Three Arrows or Six. I would encourage you to listen to them! I found them convicting and invigorating!
(This picture is of the boys' sandwich box tower...They had the entire room watching them and donating the boxes. We all cheered when it finally toppled, but not after getting very high!)
The schedule of the conference was basically: Two morning sessions, lunch, the afternoon for games, naps, etc, dinner, an evening session, and then the rest of the evening for fellowship. Julie and I attempted racquet ball with Catherine Morrison and Jon Larrazabal as our teachers. ...Let's just say that I don't think Julie and I were...um...naturals. Actually far from it. I did accomplish PEGGING Catherine Morrison with the ball. She had a nice round welt for the rest of the week....battle scars, you know. We also played volleyball and Round Robin, both of which were tons of fun. 
On the way back from the conference, We stopped in Pittsburg, PA to have dinner with Nathan Adamo, a friend from church who's doing an internship out there. Besides the waitress desiding some of us were done before we really were, and deciding that Stephen was only getting two vegetable sides when he should have gotten three, it was a nice time.
It's just lovely to steal pics from the guys with snazzy cameras... (coughJoashcough)
ReplyDeleteLove the update about the conference.. and the fact that Stephen missed out on his 3rd veggie serving. Hahahaha
