Bomb Threats and Turkey
Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving with family, friends and lots of food. I wanted to give you all a little update on what has been going on in the past few weeks.
This past weekend we held an event at the Tingley Colliseum in Albuquerque, NM. Although it was a bit colder than expected, the weekend started out just fine. Friday night was amazing. The drama went well, the speakers were wonderful and we even brought in a hispanic band called Rojo to end the night (most of our attendees were hispanic, so th
ey loved it, as you can tell in the picture). As we headed into Saturday quite a few members of our team began to feel this overwhelming need for prayer. Of course, we should always be praying but this felt different. Things were running smoothly as we headed into the afternoon session of concerts and youth pastor training. In the middle of the session we were told we needed to evacuate the entire colliseum. Local police were made aware of suspicious packages in the parking lot of the venue. Upon further investigation we found out that there was a pipe bomb and a container of cobalt-57. Apparently when they took radiation readings it gave off some signals of radiation, which triggered the evacutation. We were evacuated from the colliseum itself and then from the state fairgrounds that it was on. We were taken across the street where we were bussed to a local community center. Nearly 5 hours later we were given the ok to go back it. Since it was already so late we just began to pack up our things to leave. I believe this was an intense spiritual attack. Acquire the Fire hadn't been to Albuquerque in over 9 years. All in all everyone ended up safe, which is something to be thankful for.
This weekend we have off due to the holiday, but we jump right back into the swing of things next weekend with an event in Glendale, AZ. I'm actually staying in Phoenix, AZ with my Aunt and her family. Thanksgiving was wonderful. I was able to see my 7 year old cousin perform in her first parade and we went out for thanksgiving dinner (which means all the good food, no preperation and no clean-up!) It was hard to be away from the craziness of the Feldman Family thanksgiving, but I am anticipating that Christmas will make up for it! Only 19 days until I arrive home. I look forward to seeing all of your beautiful faces this Christmas.
Until Next Time...
