I hereby, declare, great holiday.

Why is it a great holiday? To start with, i had some good sleep overs at my cousin's place, shorter days longer nights, cooking some indian dish, interesting talks(not politics) and so on. One night, i stayed up till 4 in the morning with my cousin looking at lots of family photos, talked about relatives and reminiscing all the good times.

Next comes, Somner beach, evening bus ride(about 15 minutes) and some good walks with Rino and cousin.

The greatest of them all happen to be today, i got up around 11:16 am, got out of the house to help friends decorating a sitting room for all the guests who were there for a conference ( Get smart conference), which is one of the biggest conference held every year for all the Youths and Churches of South Island, New Zealand.

So, I got over with the decoration about 5 pm,came back home, cooked the simplest dinner (Dal and rice with an omelet), got out of the house again after 30 minutes for attending the first meeting of Get smart conference.

Attending it for the first time in such big conference, i was thrilled, excited and moved by the number of young people, mostly in high schools and colleges present there. Songs of praise and worship were great, just to be there with all the other young people was such a great time, hundreds of people came forward committing their lifes to God. It was such an awesome experience to be there listening the word of God from Craig Clark, he spoke from Isaiah 61...The spirit of the Lord God is upon me ; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn......and partly from the book of Acts, ended up the sermon by sharing experiences and reminding us of all the blessings that God has bestowed upon us. The session got over with a prayer for all the newly committed young people.

Anyways, this Get Smart Conference continues till the 17th of July, other sessions from morning to evening will go on with the members who have paid for it, night sessions are open to public by paying $10.

As for me, i will be on night sessions.

That's all the update i have for the day. Thank you.
