A Great Trip With No Pictures

Chris and I just got back from Annual Convention in Marysville and we had a great time! Unfortunately, we didn't take any pictures. :o(

It was so fun getting to see so many old friends and meeting new people, too. We really like going to convention. The worship was great, the preaching was good, and I even enjoyed the business sessions. A couple issues got a bit heated, but it is good to know that people in the LB are passionate about things.

This year they kind of threw together a pastors wives' session that was really nice. It was good just to get to be in a room of pastors' wives that had combined ministry years of over 600! And there were wives that were at convention that weren't even there. Before that session some of us that were at sem at the same time had lunch together. It was fun to see them but I missed those who weren't there.

I am still kicking myself for forgetting our camera on our trip to Seattle with friends from Canada. Mike had never been there and we saw all kinds of great stuff! It was a really fun day of great friends, great sights, and great food (like Ivar's seafood, baklava, fresh produce, and chocolate covered cheesecake)! Yum!

We are already looking forward to being at convention next year in Fergus!

Just a note to concur with the majority of my wife's description of our trip. It truly was great to see old friends and to make new ones that we will look forward to seeing at the next convention.

IMHO there should be one slight correction to the post: The worship was good, the preaching was great!

Hey, it was great to see you! We agree that the whole convention was an awesome event! Sorry we didn't connect on the trip going to Seattle--I guess our track record of trying to connect is pretty pathetic...maybe next time, huh? We'll both keep trying...

Sounds like a great convention. Sometimes the best things are the ones we don't take many photos at, because we're so busy we forget to, anyway.
