Hi everyone!!I'm finally back from the 9th SFC European Conference in Brussels,Belgium. I really had a wonderful weekend there. The 3 days conference was very empowering.The talks and the sharers were really inspiring.I met old friends in the conference (my bro and sis who attended last year's conference in Paris)and I met new friends too.I also made a lot of bonding sessions with my co-SFCs from Norway.
@ Gardemoen airport with SFC Norway while waiting for our flight to Brussels,Belgium.
Welcome to Brussels Airport!!
On our way to the baggage claim counter with Sis Melvie and Zyde.The theme of the conference was HOPE,that despite the difficulties in life but there's always one true hope and that is our ONE GREAT GOD.
I hope in our ONE GREAT GOD.The conference started on Friday at 5 in the afternoon and it lasted til 10 in the evening.And we had the amazing race competition before the conference started.I was one of the delegates from Norway for the race and it was really very hot in Brussels and we were so tired coz we have to hurry all the time.But our effort paid-off coz Norway was declared as the winner for the amazing race competition!Hurrah!!
SFC Norway,just outside the conference hall.Waiting for the EuroCon to start.
During the food fest...graveh mi kabusog..the foods from every country were super delicious!!
During the T-shirt Design Competition.Ours got the 3rd place.We also had our dance practice before the conference started and we were glad coz we're going to present the dance on Sunday,during the last talk.So we still had 2 days to practice.And during our practice,I was so shocked coz some members has to stay on the stage during the dance presentation.And I was so unlucky coz I was one of the 5 who has to stay in the stage..Ohh my,I was really nervous because there were a lot of delegates.But glad that it was finally over and the dance presentation went good.So no more worries now,heheheh.
I'm also very happy coz I met a relative in the conference,Tita Didith.She's from Anda,Bohol but she's already in the UK now.THe encounter was really unexpected.I went to the toilet with my friend and we waited coz there was a queue.Then one of the delegates waiting heard us talking in Visayan and she asked us from where we were and we told her Bohol.And she told us that she's also from Bohol and when I looked at her ID,her family name is Amper...just like my middle name.nd so we chatted and digged our roots,heheheh.
with Tita Didith,from SFC UK.We also had fun during the gala night (Saturday night) wherein we have to wear evening gowns.Last conference,the motiff for the gala night was 60's look.And we were so "kilig" coz one of our SFC brother from Brussels,Bro Don, proposed to his GG during the gala night.Ohhh howww romantic!

With Ate Grace and Ate Lab during the gala night.The conference was officially closed Sunday afternoon and the closing praisefest was very empowering.The Norway contingent in general was very joyful coz we won a lot of awards.We won in the amazing race contest,champion for the food display,the biggest delegation,etc.

Plaza de Toros in Seville,Spain,where bullfights are held.One thing we find nice about Belgium is that,the cost of living there is cheaper compared to Norway.We really wished that we had a lot of money during the trip coz it's really cheap there.
We finally had our flight at 7:55 in the evening and arrived at Gardemoen airport at 10 in the evening.I slept at my friend's place coz it was already very late when we arrived in Oslo.And the shocking thing was that, we woke up the following day at 3 in the afternoon!!!Ohhh my we slept for sooo long!!We were really very tired.
Glad to be home once more.And I felt so blessed to be able to attend the 9th SFC EuroCon in Brussels coz I learned a lot and I heard a lot of messages from GOD.
May GOD be praised all the time!
