wow! primitivegenius...you have it right on the spot! just as you wrote, there have been talks about baptism, field service, a convention in november. and of course, i still have to set foot in the kingdom hall. as for clothes, right again! i always wore pants for book study last winter. and no one ever said anything to me. BUT...the person who studies with me "kindly" gave me 2 skirts that apparently don't fit her anymore! now, what do you make of that? scary:-( *summer*
