GO Conference

After my adventure in Amsterdam i went to the GO Conference which was located in Holland just two hours outside of Amsterdam. This is a two week conference for all missionaries with OM leaving to their field in august. I had so much fun meeting new friends from all over the world. I was starting to learn about different cultures and how different they are from my own. It was so amazing to be surrounded by people who love God and also want to serve him. There were people young and old, and families with children, all with the same desires in their hearts, all going to different places in the world to serve God. I was at first looking at this conference as another step till i got to the ship but when I was there, with all of those people, I wasn't thinking about how I wanted to go to the ship right then, I was enjoying the time that I was spending there with all of the wonderful people i had met.
In the two weeks I was in Holland I learned so much about myself and my relationship with God. God revealed so many things to my heart. He was preparing me for the next two years of my life.
Another thing that I really enjoyed was worship. It didn't matter what song we were singing, it always felt so perfect. It was so amazing worshiping God with people from all over the world. Everyone having their own way of showing God how much they loved him. I felt so much peace when I was worshiping God, feelings that I haven't yet felt before.
While at the GO conference we did have a lot of fun just hanging out. We were in the middle of no where but we still had a lot of fun wondering the county side. We were a bunch of people from all over the world, only knowing each other for a couple of days but it felt like we had known each other forever. It is crazy how easy it is to build relationships with people when you have that one thing in common, God.
The GO conference was a huge learning experience for me, it was a start to what i was going to learn within the next two years of my life. (August 18-30)
