Friday, July 3 (Randy Shoulders)

60 people showed up for the Pastor’s conference today. It was a interesting time for all of us. David and Tricia cooked our lunch in the outdoor kitchen at the church. It was a big challenge, but they pulled off a great meal of pasta and wild rice with some American spices that David brought from home. Afterwards he donated those spices to the pastor’s wife which made her very happy.

The Conference went very well. It was fun trying to find ways to make these couples laugh out loud. It took about 3 hours to get them to warm up and relax, but from the feedback, everyone enjoyed it and went home with some new perspectives of pastoral ministry and the relationship that a pastor and his wife should share.
