Manti Pageant

This year was different, oh yes it was...

I didn't react the way I usually do as pageant arrives, I tend to get overwhelmed and feel very oppressed. No, this year, I was lighthearted and optimistic and almost too relaxed (not good when so many people are arriving). I think God had something new in mind? I like new.

It was really a great time.

I was amazed at the individuals that God put in my path that made this year unique. Interesting this Jesus I know, He just loves to shake things up and let us see His miracles?! Love love love it.

I made several new friends, and caught up with good friends, and spent most of my time in very unexpected ways with friends that I cherish. Each one is a gift. I am thinking of each of you as I go through my pics. Love and peace to you.

I hope that everyone had a great time of fellowship at the stonehouse, at the park, and especially on the streets of Manti. I did. I didn't want to miss a minute of it, I loved every hug and every testimony that I heard. Precious gifts.Your heart for people is huge...thank you for being you Sir!

(and helping me with Sr. John)

I also hope that everyone that came had a powerful experience of knowing God more intimately through your time here. I prayed that God would be more real...present...in your face...
Nothing like being shaken up in your faith to pull you closer to Him.

I love that part of living missional, I am always whining for my Great God and He is always right here. Right here. And He was here...

Sweet. I loved the Rising tide group on the streets.

I am always welcoming pilgrims here, all year long, and any time you want to call, email, stop in and stay you are always welcome.

Love to you my brothers and sisters in Christ,
Grace and Peace Aaron,
