Thoughts from the Desert

A glimpse into my experience at Mennonite Church USA's Convention in Phoenix, Arizona.

 The natural beauty of the desert. I love seeing and experiencing new contexts because of the way God meets us in new and unexpected ways there.

Spending quality time with the cast of "No Roosters in the Desert". A spunky bunch who share a passion for sharing the stories of immigrants. 

This is what the EMU booth in the convention center looks like when they offer free awesome tank tops to youth. Utter chaos. But in a good way.

My favorite part of the set of "No Roosters in the Desert". A replica of a shrine set up in the desert for lives lost on their journey to the U.S. 

I surely consider myself a 'write when the spirit leads' kind of blogger, which can explain my sparatic blogging style. This morning I was feeling the need to, as stated in an old Paraguayan saying, let my soul catch up with me. By listening to that nudge, I hope to best reflect and apply what I have learned from my life experiences. More reflection on Phoenix to come. :)
