I am going to my first foreign language assembly tomorrow-in Italian. I don't know all that much Italian yet so it should be interesting. I am also driving into Brooklyn for the first time ever. Sc...
So you went to visit my old stomping ground... how was it? My dad was at the assembly, he brought my Grandfather there. Several years ago I dragged Jahanna, Tina and Kim to the Italian assembly. Wh...
I am sicilian. I have been trying to learn so that I can talk to my Nonna and Nonno. Plus, I am "getting to know" someone in the circuit. I got my first Italian Bible and got pretty good at looking...
The best is commenting for the first time. It's so nerve racking. Whenever I've been to an Italian meeting, I always like to read a scripture as my comment because you don't have to figure out the ...
The friends in Hartford are Jared Cutler and his parents, Dave and Diane Nelson. It was so crazy to see them, Dave used to work in my Father's pizza shop and new me as a toddler. It's such a small world.
I saw tons of young people at the assembly. Of course, they might have been younger than they looked. Those Italian girls were all beautiful.
My friend is from a congregation in LI. Something Park. I think it starts with an F. I wouldn't call him a youth though.
I loved the assembly though. I wouldn't do the convention, don't want to go to Canada to understand only a few words...but I would definitely do another assembly or a meeting.
Jared Cutler? Really? The one who is married and him and his wife are expecting a child?
So there are young ones left in the Italian? Really? WOW... maybe I should pay it another visit. Well, of course the Italian girls were all beautiful, they are Italian ;)
Is your friend from the Florham Park congregation? Now your making me remember all the years and memories I had in the Italian...
This year the District is in Toronto too, they moved it from Montreal...
If you live in Jersey there is a congregation in Ridgefield you can visit.
Yeah, he and his wife are expecting in October. It was so weird to see him. The last time I saw him he was probably a teenager and I was maybe 10 years old. We had an assembly part together.
Yeah, the congregation is Florham Park. I couldn't remember the name.
Maybe I'll try visiting Ridgefield. I use my new Italian Bible with my American one now. I can't believe how much I learned from just one day at the assembly. I am feeling very motivated. I love it.
Thats so funny, Jared and Talitha stayed in my basement this past weekend for the assembly. Talitha's parents and my parents are best friends, our families would go away almost every summer... She is like one of my older sisters... Im guessing since you havent seen him in such a long time, you werent at their wedding?
I should get a new Italian Bible and song book. My old song book has drawings all over the back page where everyone is singing (some people here have done the same thing!)...
No, I wasn't at their wedding. Actually, I didn't realize Jared was married until last year. My friend Sabrina used to go to Florham Park, but moved down to NJ when she got married. She saw him at some gathering and she mentioned me, where I was from and he told her that his family was close to my mine when they lived in PA.
WOW... what a small world
I wonder why it is that some nationalities are overall better looking than others. Not that it's a set rule...but for the most part it's true. For example....italians, brazilians, egyptians....beautiful....people from the UK...not so much. (First countries that came to mind)
That is so true... you can also include some french, swedish and swiss people. But of course, everyones opinion of beautiful differs. Some people consider beautiful girls ugly and ugly girls beautiful, but I think your statement really applies for the majority of people...
don't forget eastern european!!! all the models are either from brazil or the Poland/Russia area. Go Poland! wink wink
Yeh, I definately dig 'em. Girls that come to mind are Elisabeth Hasselbeck representing Poland & Mila Kunis respresenting Ukraine. I've definately seen very attractive Polish and Czech girls in my day.
hasselbeck is polish?! i didn't know that.
yehp
I resent that! In defense for us Belfastians!
