No One Could Put It Into The Words It Deserves!!!

Hello Blogees!! Are you tired of me yet?!? 😆 Well my Mom and Aunt Lois aren't so I'm going to keep on blogging!! 😉❤️

So it's about 10pm Sweden Time and this is what it looks like outside right now...

So cool, right?!!!

I'm trying to catch up with my blog, so I thought that I would write a bit before turning in. We have an early morning tomorrow. 

So let's see, where I last left off...🤔 😉 Of course I remember!! We were just heading out of the airport when... when... We received the biggest hug from Jehovah God!!! It was as if he was saying... Put all those travel woes and tiredness behind. You put forth the effort to come here for me, this is what I have for you...

A gift from this little girl Sophia. Fun fact... In Sweden Caleb and Sophia are called Kevin and Sophia. 😀

We looked... We looked there... There were our Swedish brothers and sisters from tall to small waiting there to greet us! And remember we were really really delayed leaving the airport!! ❤️❤️

The brothers and sisters immediately came and took our bags and bag carts out of our hands and off of our shoulders to look for our taxi driver. They did this for every international Jehovah's Witness delegate that came thru that door!! 😭😭😭. The love! In a world where love is fading... Not with our brothers and sisters!!!

I tried not to cry...I promise you I did, but I just couldn't hold back the tears. Especially when I saw the little ones. 🥺😭.

Our cab driver was very very pleasant. As soon as we got in the car and he realized that we were Americans I think that allowed his inner American to come out because he turned on the radio and played Stevie Wonder and all the great hits throughout the generations.

We were just so happy to finally have made it and to receive such a big hug from Jehovah and his people!! ❤️

Don't worry... We didn't lose Winston. He was in the front seat explaining to the driver the reason for our visit. 👍🏾

Y'all! We then pull up to the hotel. 🤦🏾🥺😭 I'm getting emotional all over again just thinking about it. Brothers and sisters started coming to the cab, taking the bags out of hands and giving hugs... Hugs... Hugs!!!

Check out her earrings!! They got really creative with the Sweden convention logo!! ❤️

The cab driver was so sweet and hilarious... He said..."This is so nice!! Everyone is so happy!"

So he received a big hug from Jehovah too!! ❤️

He didn't want to leave!! 😆❤️

Then.... Other brothers and sisters were coming and going, it was like a big party!! 🎉

These two sisters are friends with Eli and Annette Miranda!!! Small world!!! ❤️

It could not be put into the proper words what this experience felt like. I really tried to come up with an illustration.... But I can't do this feeling a disservice. 💯

We were then escorted to a floor that the hotel allowed us to use for hanging out and organizing our tours.  You know what happened....yep! More hugging! 😆

This next pic is of a couple that Gordon and I could have swore we knew from Belize!!

Y'all! They ain't never been to Belize! 🫠

And it was so funny because here we were trying to convince them that they were in Belize! It was so funny!!

During the introduction our volunteer helper Nandy gave us some brief instructions for the week and she reviewed what was in each of our gift bags! ❤️

Let me share what was included in our gift bag. We received water bottles because they want us to stay hydrated. It's not hot like it currently is back home, but we're going to do a lot of walking.  We also received invitations to the convention, a train/subway map, an informational guidebook, baggage tag, our ticket to our Encouraging Gathering and it was all included in a beautiful canvas gift bag. 

And then we received our blue delegate lanyards. All of the volunteers wore orange, the delegates blue.

I left out one thing that was included in the gift bag, each of us received a letter from a brother or sister in Sweden. Reading them was so touching. Wouldn't you like to know what it says....😆 If I tell you now then you won't have any reason to ask me when I get home. 😀

Have you ever had one of those days in your life that was so amazing so fabulous that you knew that you would never forget it! This was one of those days. ❤️

But I have so much more to share with you guys!! I'm trying to catch up with my blogging but my app had been giving me problems. I'm so sorry😔 !

Thanks for reading and proofreading! Until next time!!
