Special Assembly Day

We attended the Special Assembly Day in Coffs Harbour this past Saturday, it was super nice! The friends from Woolgoolga were all really excited to see us again so we enjoyed that. The program itsellf was super encouraging and a couple of the young ones we made friends with had parts, so that was awesome to see them up there. It was kind of funny becuse nikki and I were noticing that alot of the friends were looking at us during lunch and come to find out that it had been circulating around the assembly that there were 2 Amercian girls among them(like we're aliens or something!). One brother came up to us after having given one of the closing parts and said "I heard through the grapevine that there were 2 American sisters here and once I saw you I knew, I just knew it had to be you!" It was really funny! There was a brother visiting the Circuit from the Australia Branch, we were eager to meet him since we'll be there next month. We searched all during lunch but could never find him. Finally at the end of the progam we asked one of the Elders from the Woolgoolga Cong. if he had spotted him and he led us directly to them! Brother Terry and Margeret O'Brian were their names and they were super sweet! We told them we'd be visiting soon and Bro. O'Brian wrote our names down in his calender and said theyd have to invite us over for a cup of tea!! They also knew Bro Carlos and Joetta Hose from Grand Prairie South!
Before we left the assembly one of the Elders from the Woologoolga cong pulled us aside and said he really wanted to thank us for being such an encouragent to the hall. He said that we had really shown the young people in the hall that you can pioneer and travel the world and have the best time doing it! That really touched Nikki and I because it was out of the blue and really sincere!
We finished off the evening at a restaurant with a group of young people from the assembly. All the young ones are so nice and eager to hear stories about America.
It was a really great day:)
