At long last! Here are some of my Assembly pictures!
We'll start with our all-too-cute General Overseer. :-)
The Baldwin family from Virginia--remember that beautiful song they sang?! "That's When God Wants to Hear You Sing"
The Banuelos/Soto's. :-) Don't worry, Tayde--your song was beautiful. And I knew it was in Spanish! Ha! ;-)
Some shots of the prayer line on Friday night...
It was a glorious Assembly! With shouting...
Running...
Praising...
And dancing... whoops. The "dancing" picture somehow disappeared on me! Oh well. I love this next picture just because of all the Church flags--it's beautiful!
Brother Johnny Wilson being ordained as a deacon
And Chris Clarkson being ordained a bishop
I thought I'd add some pictures for some people I know will find them here! Sister Tammy (F.), these are for you! Some of the Antioch tears following the appointments. It's heartbreaking and exciting all at the same time!
These next ones are for the VanDeventers. You'll never believe this, but Mary VanDeventer is a blog frequenter! ~gasp!~ Are you in shock?! I keep telling her she should start her own blog--wouldn't that be neat??? Anyway, these are for you, Sister Mary!This is Persephanie testifying in front of the whole General Assembly! (I couldn't get a picture with decent color, so this is the best I've got. Still, there's a certain glow to her face, hu?! This is the night she and Sister Julie joined the Church.) :-)
Soooooo many prayers... being answered!!!
What a great looking crowd! (Thanks again for dinner, Brother V!)
This is for you, Cindi! (Grace, I don't know how often Cindi stops by here, so would you let her know there's a picture waiting for her? Thanks!) It was a pretty special night for this girl, too! :-)
Here are a few pictures of the children's presentation. (Great job, Wantuloks!) I had to post this one because of the kid in front, second from the left. HA! Cracks me up! Does anybody know who #419 is???
Here are Cainan and Naomi, cute as always but looking to have just barely more fun than #419.
Had to post this one 'cuz Malachi is so stinkin' cute in that hat.
Have you ever wondered what goes on in the General Overseer's room in between sessions? Jumping Jack lessons, of course!
This can't be appreciated without an explanation. You've seen the signs at the Assembly designating where certain people are supposed to sit--Field Secretary, Overseers, Clerks, etc. Well, Sister Gayle had made one up for Brother Werkheiser and it was placed on the second row, I believe. It's hard to remember where it was to start with because it got moved around so much! Every time Brother Kevin would come to sit down his "reserved" sign had been picked up and moved some place else and there was a person sitting where the sign once was. Ha! It didn't do him much good, but it sure was fun to watch. It became quite a joke and some clever person finally thought to move the sign to the balcony directly above his original seat. ;-)
I add the following pictures to illustrate just how hard the Assembly is on kids. And to show everybody a picture of Brian O'Dell carrying a little pink purse. ;-)
And last but not least, here are some of our regional VLB dudes. :-)
~Whew!~ Glad that's over with! Now, it's no fair just enjoying the pictures without taking the time to read the post just below. Or at least skim over it. I'll settle for "scrolling past," if you'd like. Just know it's there if you're interested in caterpillars or witches, or if you're just plain bored. :-)
Next up: Post Assembly Pictures!
