We were hoping that this was the same assembly day as the Haines but they had theirs the day before ours. We only met one other gringo at our assembly, she was from Wales and lives at Bethel with her husband. The other half of the circuit have more English speaking families. Oh well, the brothers told us that makes us "more special". :)
At lunch everyone went outside to eat and most ate in their cars. A friend of ours told us they they eat outside so the smells of the food don't linger in the hall. They bring typical almuerso for lunch with big containers of rice, chicken and cuy (guinea pig). Much different from Canada - sandwich and fruit. They also serve sweetened coffee (no milk) and water.
Assembly Hall, Cuenca. There is also a Kingdom Hall attached to it and an apartment for the caregivers.
1500+ in attendance.
They projected the baptism on a screen so everyone could see.

We had our Special Assembly Day yesterday, as well. We only had 546 at ours, with one baptized. Our attendance was much higher than in recent years, don't know why.
We met a Sister from Wales when we toured the Branch. I think she said her name was Becky.
Had any $2.00 meals lately? :)

Yeah, we have had a few $2 lunches lately but quite disappointing ... food not hot and very little meat ... we are moving up to the $4.50 lunch which includes soup, salad, rice or potato with a good portion of meat and dessert. We have been living it up!!
