Last year I had a great time going to a conference in Vegas. It's actually a church conference but it was awesome. I love being around radical charismatic christians. It's just like going to a concert but spiritual. I loved it so. I love that church as well. I try to look for every opportunity to go back to the International Church of Las Vegas. So I just can't wait to go back this summer for the conference. My friend was telling me that they have another 1 next week and asked me if I would like to go with her and I want to so much but I have to go to work. But I'm so envious of her. She doesn't have to go to work and she's been back to ICLV several times already. I was only able to go back once but that was for only a day. That wasn't enough for me. My friends and I plan to go back every year for the conference that they have in July. I don't know what to tell my parents though. They're still as protective as ever. Before this I never had any interest in going to Vegas. And I can't exactly tell them that I'm going for church because they wouldn't let me go. My much rather me go there to gamble then anything religious. Total opposite of most parents. I could fool them into going once or twice but there's no way that they would believe that I would go several times a year, especially since I've been there twice last year and I haven't even stepped foot on the strip. My parents know me well enough to realize that I wouldn't want to go that often to gamble and I can't exactly lie about it either. It's ashame that I can't be honest with them about it.
