Exciting to see friends from other cities and make new friends, exciting to hear what is going on in other countries and cities and get a bigger picture. Also exciting to eat fresh pineapple every day.
Exhausting.
Exhausting because sitting through sessions and reports is good, but also tiring. Also exhausting because all of the extrovert in me comes out at conferences and I just want to be around other people and hear their stories and watch their interactions and play games with them and talk and sing and... do everything!!! Exhausting because it's full of emotions -- joy, sadness, and everything else.
Encouraging.
Encouraging to hear about the growth that has happened and creative new ideas. REALLY encouraging to hear the Word expounded on, to sing together, and to be reminded more of who He is than just focusing on ourselves.
Engaging.
Engaging because this is a group that loves telling and listening to stories, laughing and crying together. Engaging in very challenging ways as we consider the future.
