What a well-fulfilled Sunday. A day that brought satisfaction to my soul. A day that have given me more reasons to build faith in God, and All went smoothly as planned. Am writing this post with all happiness. Because, am spiritually, physically, and emotionally strong now. Also, just as I promised in my last article, (if you missed it, please check it out because, it's not faraway from your reach) I must update you guys on my Sunday happenings.

The long awaiting day has come and go, it's now a thing of the past. How time flies. Nevertheless, I promised to update you guys on how my Sunday went.

On Sunday morning, I prepared myself, dressed up and boarded a tricycle to a designated venue known as "Mgboko Umuoria Assembly Hall Of Jehovah's Witnesses". The program started by 9:30 am and I arrived there as early as 9:20am. Hahahah, why are you laughing? 10 minutes before the time, isn't it enough? Leave me alone please 🥺.

I tried walking straight to the hall, but, something happened. Remember, for over 3 years now, Jehovah's witnesses haven't attend or organize any of our in-person assemblies. So, since we resumed our in-person gatherings, this is our first time to attend( it's set-by-set or turn-by-turn. Meaning that this is our turn to attend). While walking in, I met many of my friends. Just imagine what should happen since we haven't seen for over 3 years now. Hahaha, 🤣🤣 we gave each other a very tight hug 🫂🤗 not only that, we even kissed.

It was even the sound of musical interlude that separated us. The program was held in pidgin English. The title of the assembly is shown in the image below 👇

It's all about how we could remain in unity as one despite our backgrounds, race, language or even complexion. We were encouraged to cultivate Godlike qualities such as love, kindness and the need to build our faith in God since none was born with faith. Faith is one of the qualities of the holy spirit which one must cultivate.

The morning section ended with water baptism. All those who have learnt about God and dedicated their lives to him, symbolized it through water baptism. That's the end of morning section.

At this juncture, we ate our meals, shared our feelings with each other, embraced our old time friends, and lastly, there was an interchange of encouragement.

After an hour, the program resumed. Among all the trainings we received that afternoon, there is one I can't forget. It's a topic concerning marriage mates. I learned that no matter the training I received from my parents before marriage, once am married, I should be ready to accept training from my husband. And that husband and wife should work hard in building their home. It's their onus.

As soon as the assembly closed, we felt like not going. Yes, it was hard for us to leave our friends. But, for sure, it's a must.

I really enjoyed plentiful of spiritual bouquet 💐 that Sunday the 22nd day of January 2023. It's a remarkable day to me.

Interesting! 3years of not seeing each other must be a great time together in church as I can relate to the hugs and affection with you guys. Training will forever continue even in marriage, we just have to be patient while we learn from each other.
