Hillsong Conference was completely amazing... Many lives were changed and it was awesome to be a part of that. After completing 80+ hours of volunteering over the 5 days of conference I am taking a much deserved holiday. My days at conference included setting up and packing back down literally about 2,000-3,000 chairs a day and moving countless barriers to help with crowd control. It is amazing what goes on behind the scences of an event which draws about 30,000 people daily. Tomorrow we are off to Fiji for 3 days before coming back home... We said our goodbye's today. It was hard... We have made many close friends in our time here whom we will miss dearly... After our year here in Sydney we made friends from all over the world and look forward to staying in touch with them... Looking back over our time here I cant beleive that our year here is already over. This past year has been incredible... We have grown tremendously, been stretched more than we thought was possible, faced many challenges, and had amazing expereinces woven through it all... This last year has impacted us greatly and I am still trying to process all that God has done in us. I thank you all for your prayers, thoughts, comments, and support over the last year... You have played an incredible role in our lives and we couldn't have done it without you... America... Here we come...
