We attended the God's Way
of Life International Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses in Seoul, Korea
September 18 through 20, 1998
We received a very
warm welcome by our Korean brothers and sisters.
We were delighted
to see sisters in their bright, beautiful, traditional dresses.
The day after we arrived
in Seoul, we visited the Branch Office and enjoyed a wonderful tour of
that beautiful facility.
We toured other historical
sites and enjoyed the view from Mt. Namsan. We also had time for a walk
through the beautiful outdoor East Gate Market.
The highlight of our
visit was the three days spent at Olympic Main Stadium. Over 63,000
were present
on Sunday including more than 3100 foreign
delegates. 1,082 were baptized in Seoul on
Saturday and more at seven satellite conventions held throughout Korea
resulting in a total of 1,534 baptized
all together.
We were very sad to leave
Korea. We found it to be a beautiful, hospitable country.
The week following
the convention, we visited Beijing, China
with over 200 other Jehovah's Witnesses from the United States. To see
