I was not there to hear mine, we went out of town that weekend to attend a District Convention that was not our own((my dad likes to go early so he can get the new publications ahead of everyone else)). I kind of wish I had been, just so I could see what everyone else's reaction was. At that point, the rumors were already going strong, but there were still plenty of people who knew nothing, and I wish I could have seen the faces of certain people. I wonder how many were surprised, how many were sad, how many felt like they saw it coming. The elders never mentioned to me whether there was a preference for me to be there or not.
