Sorry that I havent posted in a while but we just finished our 3 day convention in Twickenham, London this last weekend. It was really wonderful! I wont get into major details for those of you who havent attended yet but it was just fantastic. Went far too fast. I wish it would have lasted longer as it was a relief to be able to just sit back and relax and focus on spiritual things. It was great to see some people attend from the campaign as well. Saw quite a few of those. The weather held up which was great. Only got really hot yesterday. The great thing is that they had it broadcasted on the radio and for the last quarter of each day, when it was getting really hot and the seats (horrible!) where getting to our backs, we would go to the car and catch the rest of the program. It was difficult to hear the first two days in the stadium as there was construction going on besides the fact that all the planes from Heathrow fly right over the stadium and quite low so its pretty noisy but Ronny and I brought my headphones and my MP3 player which has a radio and were able to hear that way. Our highest attendance was almost 25,000 (all of the witnesses in London attend) with on average about 275 Russian brothers visiting us. We had 104 baptized which was wonderful as well. =) Ronny realized (Saturday night) that I could tape talks on my MP3 player (since it records the radio) and unfortunately although I thought I taped the whole program on Sunday (excellent!) it didnt as I would take out the headphones to use on the other MP3 player (dont know why!) and it would cause static and wouldnt record. So only got the public talk but happy with that anyways. We have our circuit assembly at the very beginning of September so really happy to realize that with the microphone, I can record the whole thing on my player! I love it, its such a good player and totally worth the money. Far better than an overrated iPod.
Anyways, didn't take as many pictures as I wanted (sorry!) and I really hate the picture of me in the black dress (although I felt amazing in it!) but promised to share so here is the few I have. I am definitely wearing an Indian sari at our assembly. I saw loads of sisters wearing them this convention (they are so cool!) and wish I had gone for it. Lots of brothers in African dress as well which was lovely. Ronny wants to get traditional Swedish dress for next year. You know I will be posting pictures of that, if it happens!! =)
Anyways, have my weight in tonight. I think I did bad this week. Dont feel like I have lost a pound. *blush* But really getting strict this week and moving our treadmill in our guestroom. Going to try and workout at least a little bit everyday.
Talk to you guys later!
