Well the week flew by.
I always love staff conference as it is a great chance to catch up with friends and see how they are doing and hear their exciting stories.
2 exciting stories that come to mind:
a young lad on crutches becoming a Christian in school, being healed, and walking home the same day with his crutches under his arm …. can you imagine the conversation when he got home??!! ‘Mum … where shall I put these?’
a young lady being told she will become director of her local centre, and then a year later being appointed!

As with most conferences the chats over coffee and in the evenings over beer were far more valuable than the sessions themselves. It was a real privilege to be involved in these conversations.

Highlights:
beers with my friends
Flossie having a word for me one evening – apparently I am a similar to Alexander Whyte!
chatting with local staff
experiencing worship with Andy Flan on guitar, Lee on the decks and our star rapper – an awesome fresh mix
the YFC rap fest – you had to be there!
praying for the bump of Abs (and Mal’s I suppose!)
food

Low lights
5 hours in the car … twice (although the company was cool)
saying goodbye to Ed, Andy and Steve – 3 good friends going at the same time!

the goods heavily outweigh the bads – so it must have been a great week!

Thanks for your prayers … now onto reality again …
