Howdy, y'all!
As Eric mentioned in his last post, we're in Texas for the UMC General Conference. We took our time getting here, since we figured we'd better take this opportunity to see parts of the country that we've never seen before. (I'll post more about that, including pictures, tonight or tomorrow.)
I'm working as a page, which seems like it'll be a pretty interesting job. I've already met people from South Dakota, South Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio, and the Phillippines! AND the president of Liberia (a woman--hooray!) will be here next Tuesday, so that'll be amazing. Bill Gates's dad will also be here--who knew the Gates Foundation was so interested in the UMC?
This General Conference thing is really intense--there's all kinds of security in place to make sure that the right people are in the right places and that the wrong people don't end up in those places. It's so much bigger of a deal than I thought it'd be. It's like working for the government.
So that's that. Thanks for your prayers to get us down here...we are excited to be having this experience!

Bill Gates clearly has operatives everywhere!
Bill Gates even sends an operative to Sky Lake every summer...
Have fun at General Conferece, but not too much fun!
It is so good to see your photos. Missing you at LCCL!
I cannot imagine how BIG this general conference has become. Be very careful when you sign any papers---they might send you to remote parts of the world---if it is anything like the government :)Janet
