PIcs from the International Convention

There are very few words to make simple the range of emotion felt at the convention last week. Jehovah has amazing ways of reminding us exactly how much he loves us. This convention was just one of the many. It was a BEAUTIFUL one.
Brothers and Sisters from around the globe came to partake in the rich spiritual food that was laid out for us. From Ghana to Korea, Boston to Russia.. kyrgyzstan to Australia, Germany to Japan. Literally from AROUND THE GLOBE. I even saw a Brother in traditional garb from Israel. Amazing stuff.
Heres some photos... i simply couldn't lift my camera too often... I wanted to see it with my own eyes and not through the viewfinder. I hope Keith gets some killer pics from this weeks convention. :)
