In Hawaii

Update: We posted pictures of the International Convention. Click here to see them.

Justin and I finally found a spot where we could upload a couple pictures from our trip so far. We put up all of our convention pictures as well as pictures from our fishing trip today. We have been having a lot of fun as well as being spiritually up built while here. The International Convention made us realize how wonderful the brotherhood really is as well as how loving it is. We had to ship boxes home today from here of gifts from our brs and srs we received at the convention. We had the privilege of also having Br. Lett from the Governing Body be a speaker at our convention. Now we feel like our goals in life have really been enlivened in us. We are determined to make Jehovah proud and try to do the most in his service that we can. The experiences we have heard from not only the missionaries but also our brothers and sisters we met have really impressed us. We were so excited when we met other Japanese witnesses who were learning Spanish. It turned out that that was the only way in which we could communicate with them. We have enjoyed this so much and have lots more to tell, but can not at this time. Yesterday we went and saw the volcanoes and black sand beaches on The Big Island. Today we went fishing. Justin almost caught a really big fish but it broke his line. I got to reel in a Tuna that was 15 pounds. It was fun and really hard. Tomorrow is our last day here so we are renting a car and driving it around the Island. Then we fly out around 9pm. Miss home a lot and can not wait to see my baby dogs. :)

Here's a story from the local tv station - http://www.kitv.com/video/21671726/

  2. Hi Justine & Stephanie

    We loved your video and pictures, so much work went into preparing it all too. What a wonderful privilege to be part of the world wide brotherhood of Jehovah's Organisation!!! The entire International Convention was a life changing experience for us both and now we want to do even more to serve Jehovah.

    May Jehovah continue to bless your efforts in serving him, as we all collectively serve Jehovah shoulder to shoulder from every corner of the earth!!

    Love from Australia
