Utah Weekend


This weekend we went to the Compassionate Boldness conference in Draper, UT. Brent, Rose, and Marshall went with us to see the sights and get pumped about maybe serving the Lord in UT in the future with us! We came home very encouraged and feeling more and more like UT is where we need to be.
Some of the highlights were:
1. Staying with the Hurlbutt family! Brian is in Loren's doctorate program and he is a pastor in UT. They have very similar personalities and always have so much fun when they get together. His wife Jennifer is amazing and has been encouraging and supportive and a great person to talk to when I am freaking out!!!
2. Being with like minded Christians at the conference. We all want to better share the Truth with gentleness and love.
3. Meeting and spending some time with Charles Hill and his peeps. We are so excited for the opportunity to work with them in the future! God has given Charles such a passion for reaching the lost and we are looking forward to learning a ton about church planting from him!
4. Finally finding a bathroom in Farmington before we all soiled the rental car. Marshall says that he will NEVER live in Farmington!!! :)
5. Meeting a Christian woman in the park in Woods Cross who drives into the city to go to church. It was so great to hear what life is like for her family as a non-lds family in Davis County. This made us want to come even more!

We can't wait to return to UT in a couple of weeks and then off to assessment. We are excited to see what the Lord will do!!!
