The Real Sunshine State

Well I havent posted about my trip in a few days now. This is not my fault, however. Weebly was having issues with their site and I couldnt do anything with it. So here I am now, 4 days or so since my last post. I'll give ya the rundown.

Saturday was a sightseeing day. First thing we did was walk down the street to the Hertz place and get a rental car. We got a real snazzy car for cheaper than the other would've been so in the end, it all worked out with that situation. Once we had the car, we went and got some food. Then we went downtown and I took lots of pictures of all the stadiums and mountains and such. Then we attneded Saturday night service at Radiant Church in Surprise, AZ. The music was a little heavy for my liking in worship but service was pretty good. They did have a pretty cool prayer tower upstairs. Then we headed back and conked out for the night.
Sunday was church day. First, we attended the 9 am service at New Life Fellowship and then we drove over and caught the 10:30 at Calvary Community. I liked New Life the best but neither were really great. Then we drove over to Camelback Mountain and I got pictures of it and of the praying monk rock formation. We also saw Phoenix Mountain Preserve, which I swore I would hike up the next day. Then we got registered for the conference and had evening service at Phoenix First Assembly of God. This place is massive. It feels more like a college campus. They were talking about bringing hundreds to Christ every single service. HUGE! Jentezen Franklin brought a great word and worship was incredible.
Monday! Remember that mountain I swore to hike up? Yeah, well, I did :) it was unbelievable. I fully realized just how great God is by looking at His creation from that mountaintop. Incredible. Then we played some mini golf to kill time. Evening service was pretty fun. It was the Parade of Ministries. Phoenix First has like 280 ministries or something and so they all came through and it was like a show and tell sorta thing. It was fun though.
Tuesday was the first official day of conference. Lots of classes and sessions to attend. It was a lot of fun though and I think I was set back on the right path again with my own visions for my church. Then the evening service was called Glam and they did a musical production based from Glee. It was good. Singing was ok but the message was good. The best voice was this Spanish guy but his song was in Spanish so I dont know what he sang but it sounded good! Then I was exhausted so I went to bed.

Pretty good week thus far! One more day of conference! Then the fun continues cuz I got to go see Whitney! :D
