This year's convention supported the theme: Imitate Christ!
Since not everyone has been to their convention yet, we will spare the details. All we'll say is that it is faith strengthening and eye opening. You'll love it like always!
Dublin city was bustling with news of the convention. Invites had been distributed, banners were hung near the City West Conference Center (location of the event), and local reporters were waiting to come take a peek. It's exciting to go anywhere in the world and see your sharp-dressed brothers and sisters heading peacefully to the convention site. You can spot Jehovah's people a mile away.
This weekend was emotional for us girls. Not only was it the convention in a foreign country, but because it was the last time we would see our dear friends again for many years. We said our hello's and fumbled through our goodbyes.
The friendships we have made are real. And timeless. And blind to distance. Here's a few photos from the weekend and some of our dear friends.

The inside, filled to the brim with smiley people.
David and Lisa Peel. They've been our pioneer buddies, tour
guides, and friends.
The Farmer Family. He is the congregation's Secretary.
Kayla, Sister Farmer, and Ariane (Peter's Sister-In-Law)
Violet. But we all call her "Wee Vi" because she's so cute and small. And spunky. Other call her "Trouble."
Hilda. This sweet lil lady used to be a dancer and actress. Now she devotes all her health and energy to Jehovah and the ministry.
We will miss our spiritual family here, but we know we will see them again someday. The Ireland trip ended on a happy note! Next, on to London.
