Missions Fest

What do you get when you put 30,000 people into one building? Missions Fest Vancouver. We had loads of fun going to tons and tons of seminars (2 actually) and seeing the Watoto African children's choir all of 2oo times (4 actually), flag bearing in the ceremony, talking with a few people, trying to find people from Steinbach (3) and general goofing off. PS, don't give money away to people standing in Tim Horton lineups when they ask money for soup. (Soup means crack.)

Altogether this was a sweet weekend; actually it was Thursday until Saturday night. This meant we were not able to attend youth on Friday. Our alternative service was unassembeling the huge mess of chairs in the sanctuary at church after a women's night. This took about one hour after we were fueled up by the remainder of their dessert. Soooo goooood cake! After we were finished cleaning everything up, they gave us the last 10 pieces of the dessert. Soooo goooood cake!

This week we are heading up the youth night doing all the planning and putting it on. Should be a sweet evening and I'll tell you all about it when it's over!
