I'm sitting here writing this post in pain. On wednesday I had one of my wisdom tooth out and I'm still feeling very poorly. It's school holidays again and I've been helping mum organise her house, we did a major clean out yesterday and I think I over did it so if this post seems a little disjointed... its the pain killers lol!
Needless to say the past couple of weeks have been exciting! Two weeks ago my husband surprised me at the last minute and sent me to Melbourne to visit my best friend Blanche. We lived in Melbourne for 10 years and so it was fantastic spending 5 days with Blanche, shopping, eating, witnessing and we even managed a meeting! I was trying to explain how it felt being back and to me it's like when you go to your parents house... The first thing I do is open the fridge and see whats in it. I may not be hungry its just familiar and comforting. Thats how it felt. Familiar and Comforting.
Our memorial talk was really lovely, it focused on all the blessing Jesus sacrifice will allow us to enjoy in the new system. One interesting point the Brother made was this could be our last memorial.. He reasoned that the only reason why we observe the memorial is for those 144,000, but once they are sealed, we will not have to do it. I had never thought of it that way before. It would be very strange not observing the memorial, but if they tribulation occurs during that time it may be a possibility.
My study Candy and her husband Lester came which I was very excitied about and we had in total 206 in attendance. I was a little sad as every year I have a family photo but because Shannon and Joel were on carpark duties for the first one and Kyle went to his Congs memorial we didnt end up getting one... Oh well I'll have to get a family snap next month for our assembly!
So here are some pics from my little trip away to my favorite city in the world - so exciting to hear all the plans for the up coming International Convention thats going to be held in Melbourne in October. Let me know if you are going to be there!
