The morning time was so great as I woke up from bed and I started doing some morning activities because of two good services I wanted to attend for the day,the first one was at the Branch church while the second service was by afternoon and other activities to be done. So by 7 o'clock AM,I was doing something at home and later I took my bath and dressed up pick up my Bible and jotter to the church which was to be started by 8 O'clock am and closed by 9 O'clock am so that people can move to the Headquarters for the Ordination service by 10:30 am.

It was really engaging myself with other friends that came around,even though the time was going late,so it is good to share in joy with others, that why I was not having reason to go early.
When it was appointed time,I left the place by 6pm, because I helped to pack up the chairs and tables that were in side, just to rearrange the hall in it normal format.

My steemians,it was a wonderful day and a joyous day to my two friends.
