On Sunday morning, the General Conference delegates and guests ate breakfast at a beautiful retreat center in the hills surrounded by lush tropical vegetation. Just stunning. A buffet breakfast–fruit, pancakes, eggs, sausage, ham–was prepared for us.
After eating, we moved to another building for a service. All of the attending delegates and guests were introduced. The delegates from Mexico hadn’t yet arrived, and Ajiax Wo, from Hong Kong, was still stuck in New York City. But most everyone else was there.
Then we heard a message from a Central American who had been giving the keynote addresses during the Honduras National Conference. Although he spoke good English, endorsed missionary Roger Reeck translated for him. It was a superb message, taken from Colossians 4.
