EASC 2006, Nottingham, England

Finally, some photos from the EASC conference in Nottingham! The University of Nottingham is quite pretty ...as you will see from the photos below.
We will try to post some more England photos soon!

First Impressions...
...hot...cold...hot...cold...wait a minute, how do I get warm water???


Jana at our usual spot in the Conference Cafe...she's probably writing a post for our site!




The best shot we had of an one of the main session times...actually, if you read in our latest letter about Jana nearly falling out of her seat into the aisle, it was during this session!


Family Picnic


Playing games with some of our team members from Kandern and another couple from England


More games with folks from Kandern


Jana creating her first ever balloon animal...it's supposed to be a bunny...


Markku (Agape's retiring Director) and Javier (Agape's new Director) tossing a coin to see who plays first in the Agape Championship...drum roll please...


Strategizing play for the upcoming match...


...yes, this is for the championship...the ball must be kicked through one of the holes...


...and it's Markku's team, then...


...Javier's, then Markku's, then Javier's...and the match went into overtime...


...but the retiring director won the match in the shoot-out...three cheers for Markku!!


Remember the fun family we stayed with in Orlando?? This is Danica, their youngest daughter. They were attending the conference as a part of their ministry to Missionary Kids


The Communications Session with G. Paul, Thad's boss in Kandern


This is Troy, he has made our lives as missionaries much easier...ever wonder how we manage to keep track of so many people?? Well, this guy created a stellar piece of software that helps us with that!! Thanks Troy!!


One of the late night coffee sessions...these were lots of fun...it was crazy, crowded, and loud, but we loved visiting with so many people!! Oh, and that's our support coach/mentor, Steve, in the middle of the photo; he's the one making a face at the camera!



Alas, leaving Nottingham via the train and not one sign of Robin Hood to help us with our bags!!
