Friday evening we went over to Nathan and Jessi's for dinner

For every assembly and convention, 
Tonya loads up Katie's Starbucks card so that we can enjoy coffee in the morning before the program. 
It's our fun tradition, thanks to Ton Ton!

At the end of the program on Sunday,
we were still tied in to the international in Atlanta for the concluding song and prayer.
Afterward, it was so neat to see the friends waving and holding up their signs. 
It felt like we were a part of it, from hundreds of miles away!



Only two months until their wedding!

Many tearful goodbyes for Katie . . .

with so much to talk about after the weekend's spiritual feast!
