Daily Text Covers

Who knew the daily text covers would be such a big hit? I wish I had more with me to give to out brothers and sisters. I started by giving everyone on our bus each one. By the next day, half our bus was using theirs. Through the whole trip, they all came up to me thanking me for such a thoughtful gift. I told them Alison majorly helped with them. They all wanted me to thank Alison for them.

At the convention I handed out the rest of the covers. People gathered all around trying to get one. I even had random people just stick their arms over the people asking for one. Even brothers desperately wanted one. Needless to say, they went quickly.

I figure I should start now to make more covers. Then maybe I'll be prepared for the next International Convention. :)

It's a Small World After All

We all know it is a small world in Jehovah's organization, but it still amazes me! Every where we went, Ben and I ran into people we know or friends of friends. We met some from Fountain Valley (the Kelleys which are in an earlier post and the Shanes). We met a sister from the Long Beach Vietnamese group. I ran into Sharon Gamble! A sister on my bus is the mother of a friend I had as a teenager. The sister's name is Ana and her daughter is Fernanda Sanducci. We met the best friends of our new C.O. One sister on our bus is in the ASL congregation that currently meets at the Hazard hall. I met a brother and sister from the Garden Grove East congregation but I forget their names. Ben met a relative of his uncle (by marriage). We also saw a sister from his old congregation in Cloquet, MN. Such a testimony to our brotherhood!

Need I say more?

international convention!

Guess where we are!

A Roman holiday

Our Roman holiday has been an adventure. We've been taking public transportation every where. We've seen the Trevi fountain, the Spanish steps, and lots more. We went to napoli and pompei. Today we're touring the inside of the colosseum. We'll try to Blog more details if we have a chance. Oh, we also met the best friends of our new c.o.

We're in Rome!

We'll be tied in with 3 other locations in Italy for an expected attendance of 300,000!
