Pics from Sunday June 26th

my girls and I at Angel's after the Sat meeting

Sunday Family Worship, doing a mock presentation

a house in field service (check out the bushes lining their sidewalk)

Aliah and Misty at  a "door"

us walking downtown David to get to Picadillys (not a food place)

Tumberellis (sp?) for lunch..decisions, decisions..

Angel and I (not the most flattering pic of me but I thought you'd like a clear shot of Angel:)

the 'wash' area at the restaurante (so you can see who does and doesn't wash their hands:)

this is after lunch, after getting back to Angels, after napping..and now we are all walking to the bus stop to get to Paul's

Sunday we started with service in David with the CO and his wife. My girls and I got to go together with them and make some return visits. They all went well, nothing super fantastic but hopefully in the future:) Then we did a little gate-to-gate before lunch. I will post a pic of that..

Then we rested at Angel's til the get together at Paul's.. then we bused on up to his house and partied Witness style all evening. It was sooo wonderful!! I took several pictures and a few videos (that I can't get posted on the blog:(  The sad part is, when you take pics, yes it captures the visual moment, but only personal memories can capture the feelings you have on the inside as you experience such friendship. The brotherhood is soo diverse and soo loving. I wish everyone in the world could get to experience our brotherhood. And I guess for those that are reading this and aren't Jehovah's Witnesses, I hope you enjoy seeing such happiness amongst us. Some of the friends we've now known for 2 weeks, and others we met that week or day. {Jesus said one of the many identifying traits among his true followers is love. -John 13:35 "By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves."- Not to get preachy, but think for one moment..what Christian religion do you personally know that loves their whole brotherhood without hypocracy, meaning doesn't fight in wars (there are same faiths on both sides of the war) and sees past all cultural differnces? If you thought of any that aren't Jehovah's Witnesses please let me know. I've done the research and haven't found any..} I guess my point is, the love that we share and shared Sunday night at the gathering is ineffable. I hope you can tell that from the pics :)
