Earlier this week we returned from one week in the Czech Republic where we were attending Greater Europe Mission's annual conference. This is the yearly gathering of all of the GEM missionaries in Europe for teaching, fellowship, and encouragement. For us, it was an opportunity to get to know our new family a bit better and to make some great connections with other workers in Europe. We had such a wonderful time at this year's conference, and we are definitely thankful for that time.
Even after two weeks in Germany, we noticed how dry we were becoming in our hearts and spirits. So, this time really was a gift. We got to worship with 300 other missionaries. We got to receive some great teaching. And even better than the teaching were the random conversations and unscripted times of fellowship we got to have. We met some great people, and we're thankful that we were able to develop more roots in this mission family.
I definitely want to share a little bit about some of things we learned while at conference. I'll save that for another post in a few days.
