Thrive Day 2- My Experience!

Thrive Day 2 May 13, 2011, changed my life forever. No joke either. It's one of the best conference's I have ever volunteered for. Thrive 2011 team made it happen. You guys are awesome. :)

The night before Thrive 2011 conference, I was so excited I couldn't sleep.

I was classroom aide for the 1st breakout session. I helped a speaker by the name of David Johnson. He was speaking on "The value of Short-Term missions to the Local Church. This was very interesting to listen to. 

I was a classroom aide for the 2nd & 3rd breakout session. I helped a speaker by the name of Eric Bryant. He was speaking on "Innovators", I seriously needed to listen to this. I didn't get to listen to him speak once but twice. I also took notes in this breakout session. I am going to blog about it separately.

Worked at the Bob Smiley & Bob Stromberg merch tables again. They were so much fun to hang out with them and get to know and help them. 

I met both Bob's and got to take pics with them both. I got to go on a golf cart ride with a really funny volunteer and went across the street from the church were the church offices were to make sure the were enough pens and water for the speakers or meeting being held near the church offices. The volunteer and I joked around. So much fun.

Two hours before the event was over I got really tired. I get my ipod out, put the headphones in my ears and blast the music to keep me awake. 

I made a lot of good memories I wouldn't forget and laughed a lot. I also runned around a lot to. Had a lot of fun to.

When I wasn't set to volunteer I just asked around who needed help and I help them. I worked hard and stayed committed. 

I saw a lady crying and asked if she was ok and if she needed anything. She was okay. 

Got a free thrive cup and brought Eric Bryant's book "No One Like Me" I am so excited to read it.

P.S That was my day and their was a lot of nice people and volunteers. My best experience helping volunteer for an event. The experience I had volunteering at Thrive 2011 was awesome. Thrive 2011 has changed and impacted my life forever. Thank you Thrive 2011 team.
