It’s traditional Chinese cuisine. Basically there is a hot pot of boiling water with soup stock in it on the table and a whole lot of thinly sliced meat and vegetables that you cook yourself and turn into a big tasty soup full of all your favourite things  there will be many delegates from Taiwan and other Chinese-speaking localities at the Melbourne convention.

Hotpot. Quite similar to steam boat. Very popular with Asians. Good to partake during cold weather. Piping hot.

Just thought I would share with you an amazing experience I just had.

 

I’m waiting in the departure lounge with a friend from the North Perth Mandarin group (I am in the Perth Central Mandarin congregation) and we have to go get our bags tagged. So we’re both wearing our convention badges and one of the ground crew members notices our badges are in Chinese. She says, “I’ve seen a few people tonight with these badges, what’s it all about?” So we explained that we’re going to Melbourne for an international convention. Then she asked why our badges are in Chinese and we explained we are learning Chinese to help people learn about the Bible. Turns out she’s from Malaysia and speaks Mandarin and Cantonese was raised a Christian and has a strong belief in God. So we got talking about our beliefs, I was able to read her Psalm 83:18, and my friend gave her a contact card and showed her the website. She said she’s always been curious about what Jehovah’s Witnesses believe and never imagined she’d be having a conversation like this at midnight! She though the fact our convention will have delegates from 60 countries was amazing, and she said she’d definitely check out the website because she has lots of questions 😃😃 Blessings from the international have already begun!

We were featured in the Herald Sun newspaper today! 🥰

“Record Crowd a Real Marvel” (our stadium is called Marvel Stadium)

A number of shops are welcoming us. But this is my favourite.

We were able to leave 2 invites with the waitresses at the Japanese restaurant where we ate. They wanted to know about our convention, how we all know each other, since we are greeting perfect strangers with hugs and smiles. Lovely atmosphere! Our apartment building is full of witnesses! And we have a placard for the assembly in the foyer.

Lucy, you got better picture of brother Splane than me, what a fine talk he gave! 

 Forgiveness is not optional, it’s a command.

Unfortunatly we are dealing with around 60 apostates, Marvel stadium security is on it as well, so far the apostates did not cause major problems...
