conference update

Wow, it's been an adventure and a journey already and we've only been through 2 sessions.

If you haven't read the other guys' blogs, here's what's happened so far...

Last night we came back to the hotel after dinner. Jake and I went into the lobby to get an iron and ironing board while Chris and Charlie went up to the room. As we were waiting in line at the front desk (the attendant was busy answering the constantly ringing phone since the fire alarm was going off for the second time that eveing), we noticed a stream of water that had formed along a line in the ceiling and was dripping into a bucket. When the clerk asked what room we were in, we said "228" and she pointed to the water coming down and said, "that's your room!" The owner of the hotel then quickly snapped, "Is anyone taking a shower right now?" We replied, no that we had been at dinner for over an hour. He then said that the water had been running constantly and our room was flooding the lobby below it. Um...this can't be. So we ran upstairs and sure enough, the floor was soaked with toilet water. Apparently it didn't stop running the whole time we were gone. The maintenance guy (who speaks only a few words of english) attempted to vaccuum up the water, but it still smells like "gross." Luckily, the only casualty was Jake's pillow-no clothes, laptops, etc.

On the contrary, the worship, entertainment, and teaching at the conference has been great. Can't wait for more! Check out Chris's and Charlie's blogs for more details.

ALSO-Please pray healing for Bri's father. He was bitten by a brown recluse spider and has been flown to the ICU in Nashville with a life-threatening infection.
