Lapilo Conference

The Lapilo Conference this year was great. I really enjoyed it. It is a time of fellowship and refreshment. There were serious moments and funny moments.

Our speaker and his wife were from a coworker's church in California. He spoke on the the book for James. That was kind of neat for me, since we are covering James in church and in the ladies' Bible study I attemd. It is always so interesting to me the way God brings up the same lessons from all corners of your life.

On a lighter note, we had ice breakers at the beginning of all of the speaking sessions that were hilarious. I ended up being "volunteered" for two different games. One of them involved playing a variant of "rock, paper, scissors." It was "bear, snake, hunter." Then there was the "humming telephone game" and the "charades telephone game." The second picture is of me playing the charades telephone game. I was relieved that it wasn't anything too difficult to act out (went fishing and caught a big fish).

A few other highlights were skit night, hiking, block parties and potlucks. The bottom picture is of the hike that we went on. It was pretty relaxed. We stopped and talked to a number of national people and saw a baby cassowary.
