IM Staff Conference in Poronin, Poland

Ah, Staff Conference was so great this year- my favorite yet. some of it has to do with the amount of traveling that I did last year and the connections that I made with staff. Some of it was because the speaker was really great this year. Some of it was the fact that I was coming from the US this time around and super excited to see my mission family again. It was just super, however you look at it. I was challenged, encouraged, revitalized. I had great meetings with current and former interns and loved the time getting to laugh and cry with them while listening to their heart's desire to serve God. The extended times of worship were amazing- the best of any of the conferences I've been to- what a blessing. We didn't have much free time this year, as there were a lot more planned sessions than there have been in the past, but I really treasured the four days there with so many precious people. I didn't take many pictures during my time there, but here are a few:

With Vali and Szymon(Romania and Poland)

With Anya(from Odessa)- was in Egypt and headed to India

With my training mates, Simona and Annette(serving in Romania & Slovakia)

With the VP of IM and Lindsey(serving in Ukraine)

With some of the younger ones in Zakopane

And just for fun, because I couldn't resist and am ridiculous:
