Day 15 – Saturday Convention

After a good night’s rest, we were ready for the second day of the Convention. We felt comfortable taking the subway on our own so we left a little earlier to have more time to socialize. It had rained again during the night but was clear and cool with a high of about 66 degrees in the forecast.

The view toward the German side of the stadium and the poofy clouds in the sky. It felt more like a Spring day than a Summer one.
Beverly meeting a couple in their traditional outfits.
This sister is from Mexico.
Evan with two brothers from a nearby town in the Lederhosen.
The baptism talk was given by brother Ken Flodin from Warwick and translated into both German and Serbian-Croatian. What a special and memorable talk for these baptism candidates in the Serbian-Croatian section.
They joined the baptism candidates from the German section at the pools.
We made some small gift bags with a photo contact card and wood key fob engraved with a cowboy hat that we were happy to give to all the kids.
The fleece blanket included in our welcome bag came in handy as the breeze picked up and it started to get cool.
These two sisters sat near us. Many like them wore their traditional dresses.
A sister sat next to us whose mother from South Africa made this outfit for her.
To cap off our day, we met with Rick and Renee Oschner from Tucson for dinner at this Indian restaurant.
