Day 2518. After a short night, the alarm went off another 5 minutes earlier this morning. We went to breakfast, then got into the car and drove the 12 minutes to church. When we walked in, it was 9 am and the doors to the sanctuary had just been opened.

Day 2517. It was after 2 am when I went to bed last night, and at 7:40 am my alarm went off. Sammy was up right away but Tammy and Emmy had a very hard time getting up this early after having gone to bed late. We got dressed and went to breakfast. After having eaten, we returned to our room, then we walked to our car.

Day 2516. Six hours after going to bed, my alarm went off this morning. We got up and went to breakfast. After breakfast, we got into the car and drove to church for the second day of the conference. The first meeting was starting at 9:30, and we dropped the kids off at kids' ministry just before that.
