Anyway, the convention was a few things this year, awesome, hectic, and as always, a giver of perspective. It was awesome because it was hectic, it was hectic because it was awesome, these go hand in hand. This year was very different from years previous, I had people there that I hadn't seen in a while, which normally doesn't happen. Not just a few people but a good chunk of people, and I'm so glad I got to spend what little and choppy time I had with them. They are great people and they make my life a little better every time I get to spend time with them.
So here goes the perspective. Well there was more perspective than this given at the convention, this was just very prominent. I realized there was something I had to do that I never really ever had to do. That was not hang out with people I hadn't seen for months for a prolonged period of time. This time each time I was with them, it had to be essentially short, sweet, and memorable. Call me sheltered, or what have you but I am still learning these things about being a missionary. You meet people who impact your life so much yet every time you see them there are so many, that you have to spread yourself or neglect. Fortunately I could run around, and gladly so, to be with all of them for a short time at least.
Dang, and then you have to say good bye for who knows how long. This is something I've known but every time it kinda hurts a little. Which I shouldn't grow callous to but should learn how to handle it a bit better. Plus there is just lots of things swirling around in this head that I think God is trying to work out, decisions, decisions. Well there it is post-NMC and I was so happy to go, hang out, love, laugh, learn, and grow nearer to God throughout.
All to God
