Brief update on New Zealand Special Convention aft day 2 What a privilege to be here hearing kingdom songs fill Eden Park was amazing and incredibly joyous.
Brothers Lett and Luccioni and brothers from the Australia Branch are all here.
Thursday I had the privilege of being invited to a special talk for attendants and those doing cleaning at Eden Park. Invite on the Tuesday of convention week. I had planned at leaving on the Thursday about 7am. A quick change of plan with the brothers travelling with me then became a 5am start. Was a fantastic talk and was blessed to hear it Was worth the effort for a unique opportunity. The 2 brothers with me were also blessed as they had the opportunity to talk to the many brothers and sisters outside the venue collecting volunteer lanyards.
I will post more once it is over.

It has been an encouraging weekend. On Saturday there was a streaming meeting from the South Auckland Assembly Hall about volunteering at our Special Convention. Just under 6000 volunteers so far with about 1100 from the South Island and over 100 over 80 years old.
Most of us are from outside of Auckland about a 6.5 hour drive for me. I have no idea about how to get around Auckland but that has been taken care off from the recommended accommodation list there will be wayfinders to help people get directions to get to Eden Park public transport isfree for those attending.
Sunday was our Worship with Spirit and Truth Assembly about 1800 in attendance and 23 baptised.

So lovely to see them and be able to help them fit into a new culture and language.

When I take the dog for a walk in the morning is normally when I listen to the Bible for my daily reading. When I read this was to much of a wow to do it thought about this Instead. Will now listen on her afternoon walk.

We are having a visiting speaker from our neighboring circuit this weekend. He will have some friends and family also comes our hall will be full.

Today, I have come to be reminded of unity in paradise.
You spoke of a visiting speaker few weeks ago.
Well, In my congregation we were supposed to have a visiting speaker tommorow. Sadly the wife of a tribal chief died ( apparently due to suicide ) now the entire tribe and any residents in this district must mourn - ie do not do anything activity ( including worshipping tommorow) because it is her funeral day.
We therefore had to inform the visiting speaker not to come, as meetings will only be held via Zoom and We need the speaker to be visible at the Kingdom Hall when he gives his important public talk.

Yes on the other side of the island. Buildings in NZ are built to withstand earthquakes. Christchurch quake last major damage causing quake was a combination of older buildings and liquefaction. Hawkes Bay is currently going through an earthquake swarm and had the floods recently. Normally a 6.7 is nothing to worry about with recent events it will be added stress to the brothers and sisters there.

People seem to be looking for anything that causes them offense. Just another way to cause division amongst people.
