SEEK 2013: FOCUS Conference

January 2nd - January 6th was a great week for Fellowship Of Catholic University Students (FOCUS). They held a National FOCUS Conference in Orlando, Florida. 6063 (well it may have been closer to 6300) souls attended this conference, the largest number of attendees yet!

We decided it was best that I not attend, just in case John Paul should arrive early. We just didn't want to risk both of us missing the birth. Well as we all know, John Paul did not make his grand appearance, and I missed out on a great week in Florida, but we feel good about the choice we made, regardless.

Hopefully, Nathan can fill you in more on his time in Florida, but all I hear is how amazing the conference was. I can't tell you how impacting it was to be far away and hear that thousands of souls decided to go to confession. Everyone adored our Lord Jesus Christ in Adoration and Eucharistic Processions. Friendships were formed, and deeper relationships with Jesus Christ were blessed.

Nathan had the honor of speaking at a recruitment event for those interested in being future FOCUS missionaries. He spoke in front of 700 juniors and seniors in college, including some current missionaries! From what I hear, he did a great job! I am excited to see FOCUS' growth over these upcoming years.
