Regalitos! (Gifts)

So I've been learning International Convention customs and must-knows from veteran and recently returned convention delegates. They all echo each other on three major points:

• Exchanging of Lapel Badges with other delegates is an essential experience.
• Candy distribution is a non-verbal Esperanto, especially with kids.
• You cannot bring too many gifts!

The last custom has been emphasized more than all others. So we've had 'regalito" assembling nights and consultations with many of you. Thanks for your ideas.

After much pondering, trips to various stores and countless minutes searching eBay and amazon.com we fell on the following ideas:

• Post Cards featuring Kimberly and I with our contact information and a scripture
• Flower pens (because how can one be sad when writing with a flower pen?)
• Gift baggies with notepads, mechanical pencils and candy in the shape of "typical" American food (yes, hamburgers and hot dogs).
• A power presentation featuring snapshots of our hometown, congregation etc. (that I've yet to finish)

I so looking forward to passing them out!
