Sat., 1/18/2020 Great teachings, good food, auction day, and decorate table day



The different states did a basket and table and had our chapters donate stuff too.  Our table had a military theme and looked amazing.  Bill picked up some nice things for it and we had so many beautiful donations.  The others also got beautiful stuff and neat stuff too, like a amo can filled with chocolate bullets, etc.  Five other states did baskets and tables.  Bill and a couple who were really nice were bidding on it.  It got up to $225 and I was telling Bill to let the nice couple have it.  He finally went over and wrote I Give Up on the paper.  The couple got a good laugh over that.  They were very happy to win it and all the money goes for Run for the Son Missions
This is the nice couple to won!  We had so much fun with them and this table sure helped us to bond with them.  Bill is so cute when it comes to stuff like this.

This is our group picture of all the State Reps.  Our State coordinators are  3rd and 4th over from the right and they were so nice to us.  Youth leaders are on the end at the right.  Everyone was so nice and made our time at the Leadership Conference so enjoyable.  Ziggy, behind me and to my left, stayed at a Bed and Breakfast with Bill and I and Wes and Gayla in Maine in 2012.  He was an airline steward.  We all hit it off when we stayed there and became friends.  He started coming to our state rallies after that and became a State Rep too.  We were all happy about that.  He does a great Mr. Rogers impression and is always so much fun,  The couple in back on the left are Phil and Julie, who we rode to Iowa with. They really looked out for us and told us ahead of time everything we would need and do and helped us so much.  Wonderful people and great servants of the Lord! 
This is a close up of the Mackinaw Bridge decoration

Every state had to decorate their table with something about their state.  We had a metal Mackinaw bridge, State maps, Pure Michigan tuff and lots of other things on the back two tables in front of Bill and Phil
Our National Evangelist, Jay, asked Bill to lead the Pledge to the American Flag and the Christian Flag.  He also led them in reading our CMA Motto.  He did a great job.  We had two screens up front with the flags on them. Bill is up front in the middle.

The Iowa worship team...They did amazing worship
