A joy beyond compare: My special convention

The program as usual was more than exciting. Yes, it's about our 3 days regional convention of JWs.
We usually start the preparation for this program months before the event date, It's the happiest event of our life so we never want to miss it.

I for my part didn't want to be left out too, so I was making my own preparations too. I paid for an apartment at the dormitory, I thought of the styles of dresses I was going to make, good enough I make my own dresses by myself, this has saved me from too much from designers and I'm happy that I also make for others.

Everyone wants to attend thus event with their best clothes and shoes, every girl want to look cute and the guys are very good looking.

I made three dresses for myself and 3 each for my siblings.
That was what kept me busy in the days leading to the event.

I also got my nails done and it looked really beautiful, though it was a bit uncomfortable because it's not something I'm used to 🤭:

The program lasts for 3 days and each day had it's own dress for me and my siblings I went with. It was so much fun.

The theme of the convention is "Exercise patience", everything we learned there emphasize on the need to be patient in all aspect of life. We need to be patient with ourselves, with our brothers, with Jehovah God, in our daily lives, whether in traffic, in a queue, or anywhere. Patience is a beautiful virtue that we all need.
More than 3400 people were present to listen to the program.

I was happy with what I could make out with my fabrics so I share them with you:

First day: Exercise patience

As I loved all the dresses I made it was a bit difficult to chose which one to wear on each day but I later made up my mind 🙃.
Also I made sure to rake my best shots!

This below is my own dress and I wore it on friday:

That's what I made out from my little Ankara fabric and I think it looks really cute, won't call it perfect 🤭.

Second day: Exercise Patience

On the second day I decided to dress traditional, here in eastern part of Nigeria our traditional dress involves coral beads, and the lace fabric suits well with it these days.

So that was how I got dressed on the second day!

Day 3: Exercise patience

Then on the third day, which is the last day of the program, I got to wear what seemed to be the best among all the dresses I made, I know it from the compliments, but well I'll get to know what you think today:

So that was all for the three days, the convention ground was like home away from home, very exciting to share quality time and delicious meals.

The program is really interesting as we enjoy good company and we go back each day with joy in our hearts. We watch new videos and music releases and it's so much amazing!
I also shared the moments with my friends and family members, I took exciting photos with them too:

And I'm happy to share with you here!
