We arrived in Louisville, KY in the beginning of the Sunday afternoon, after a good drive of 7 hours! We had to stop several times including when the car adopted a strange loud noise which at first we thought was not our car until we realized it really was us! Kevine was very tired and unaware of the happenings most of the times. No need to panick, it is just the muffler which was repaired in no time at our arrival. Thanks to the President of Gideons of Kentucky! Praise the Lord! The U.S Gideons were very hospitable: We got to stay in a fancy Hotel Marriott. The kids loved it.
The Convention was great! we had times of worship, good old bible teaching that I so much love. The people were kind and very interested in hearing our story. We got two couples to host us every breakfast and dinner! We were spoiled! The message was clear: there has been 100 years of great history of distributing the word of truth, and testimonies are incredible! Let's press on towards the goal in the next 100 years... The week started in full gear and the kids were put into Schools according to their ages, and got to meet some good friends. Besides the business part of the convention we were impressed by the level of commitment, organizational skills found amongst our Gideon brothers and sisters in the U.S as they hosted close to 187 countries delegates. The new face of the Gideons International will surely be geared to the times during the next 100 years!
