After we arrived at our hotel, we rested for a bit, showered & changed and were transported to a welcoming reception at the beautiful assembly hall in Midrand. It was so enjoyable. The local friends gave us a big welcome & put on a delicious buffet for the delegates. We received a really nice surprise when Summer, one of our travel buddies from the 2009 Munich convention, found us. We hadn't seen Summer in four years and it was so good to see her & catch up a bit.
A really nice presentation followed with the history of JWs in South Africa, a bit of what life was like under Apartheid and how the brothers coped, the current progress of the ministry work and the huge amount of work being done at the branch office. The highlight was: songs sung by a children's choir. Just want to pack them all up and bring them home. Too precious!
