YS Convention 2006




What an amazing week! We are now back from the Youth Specialties Convention in Anaheim and we have so much fun! Not only did we finally get our instrumental fix for the month (and not just instruments but David Crowder Band worship) we were able to spend gobs of time with some of our favorite people that live no where near us, or even in Texas. The convention was great, David Crowder worship and our friends being my favorite part, the only let down was the Women in Youth Ministry luncheon. The main disappointment was that is was more like a bad excuse of a pep rally then an encouraging time where I met other women in ministry. I didn’t even meet one other woman from Texas, of course the table that was suppose to be for Texas woman had no one actually from Texas at it, so I just sat with Neena (and some other new friends in Phoenix) at the Arizona table. But that is my only complaint. Praise God for this break and community with friends, now I come back to hit the ground running with a Girls Retreat this Friday- Sunday and a staff retreat Monday & Tuesday. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

I'm glad you had fun!! I'm totally jealous though that I didn't get to go too!! Hey, some of my girls from the children's home are going to the ACU girls retreat this weekend. They'll be with the Southwest youth group from Amarillo. You should try and meet them...they're great girls!! love you- Traci

we missed you guys so much. i'm so glad you had fun. everything went well on sunday morning. the kids were surprisingly good. i wish i could be going with you to the girls retreat. i'm sorry the women's luncheon didn't go so well. i always prefered the ministry tracks over the women's pow wows too. hopefully you will be so busy that you won't have to feel frustrated about your housing situation. i'm really sorry about all of that!! love you so much!!!

I couldn't decide whether or not to go to the women's lunch, and I ended up not going so I'm glad to hear that it wasn't that great. Sorry you had to endure it. Are you going to be in Abilene this weekend? Are you teaching? I hope to see you in a couple of days!
