 In a circle


 Miss N. explaining how to proceed

 We played a funny game called

 Amusing themselves with more games

 Meanwhile, others played some different games....such as "
Go Fish" :)

And so ends the Conference. Before concluding, I would like to say that although it may appear that all we do is chat and play games (which are good and profitable things at appropriate times), we are also blessed to hear uplifting, encouraging, and convicting preaching.
