Took the red-eye to Sydney and arrived early in the morning. The conference would only begin this evening so spent the day with the others eating lunch and shopping at DFO. What a bore. At least I got some time to connect with the others.

The opening service was really cool as they sang U2’s “One” which made me sit up and pay attention. They had several people on stage playing different instruments and it looked great. The bluesy song after was pretty good too with Israel Houghton singing. The visuals were good and made me feel like doing such things but yet inadequate. The night rally had Judah Smith telling us to “Embrace Grace” and that really set the tone for the rest of the conference.
