Just saw this on JW.org. Brought a little tear to my eye. I can't wait to see all the others as they become available. Love that they are doing this. I so wish I could have attended one of the international conventions. Just thinking of being there and feeling the international love from the brotherhood. Sometimes it just overwhelms me to the point of tearing up. I know I'd be a hot mess if I ever went to one, especially on the last day when everyone is waving goodbye. Oye!

You will never regret going to one as a delegate. It is always a heartwarming experience. I’ve been to a few, and all of them are sweet memories.

A song was specially composed for the International Convention in Brazil. It describes how we managed to keep together, breaking language barriers and nationality. Hugs, smiles, looks, tears and feelings do not need translation. Jehovah's people speak one language, the pure language.

 

But above all, we speak an unmistakable language, our trademark - love. The love we feel among Jehovah's people is more than a feeling, it is the essence of our Creator! What a beautiful expression: "The language of our heart is love!" This is the title of the song that was prepared as a gift for the delegates. Would you like to know the lyrics and the music?

Arrival of the first delegates to the International Convention "The Love Never Ends" of 2019 in São Paulo, Brazil.

 

I'm not present, but it was some videos that some brothers sent me.

 

Unfortunately my circuit is not among the guests to the Convention, but I will be following as closely as I can of this special occasion.

These videos brought back fond memories when I and a friend were delegates at the "Língua Pura" Congress in São Paulo over 25 years ago!

I was thoroughly enjoying these videos...until the sister with the locks started crying, then I started tearing up as well!

These have brought a bit of joy to my day!

 

Obrigado Irmão!

That's great! I was also at the "Língua Pura" Convention in São Paulo. 😃 These were memorable occasions!

This scene touched me too much!

Oh my......😪

@Omoyeme <Língua Pura> 'The Pure Language' District convention in 1990 perhaps? At first, I thought it was so exotic venue in South America. Nice.

@Araujo JW The brothers and sisters are so warm and friendly. Wish I was there too.

A great show that they put up. They must have put their hearts and souls into the preparation. The joy displayed on their faces is so infectious. Bravo!

Convenção de Distrito @Omoyeme  <Língua Pura> 'A Linguagem Pura' em 1990, talvez? No começo, achei que fosse um local tão exótico na América do Sul. Agradável.

@Araujo JW  Os irmãos e irmãs são tão calorosos e amigáveis. Queria estar lá também.

Um grande show que eles colocaram. Eles devem ter colocado seus corações e almas na preparação. A alegria exibida em seus rostos é tão contagiante. Bravo!

Yes, sister Anne, it was "The Pure Language" District convention in 1990. These were memorable occasions.

 

This year the brothers are very committed to preparing to welcome the delegates. These are months of preparation for the brothers and sisters to have a worthy welcome from the people of Jehovah. Everyone is very happy.
