Our son Joel was in the alamodome assembly, phoned me and said "dad I felt a presence there something was different than other times." Then Joel silently asked "Lord are You here ? " Quietly in his mind a small still reply........ "We are all here ".
He said "dad I really shrank back in my seat, I felt really small in my seat" "The Father, The Son, The Holy Ghost are here and holy angels". Joel also said the small still reply said "This is the last GC Session."
Someone said it is interesting that his name is Joel. His name - Joel Aaron Sutton - before his birth and again at his birth I was strongly impressed that he was born to blow the trumpet in Zion and ........ all that follows..... and tell of the Sanctuary truths and explain them and how to apply them. Now in adulthood he has such a burden upon his heart. God is getting him resources to fulfill such a mission.
Surely there are many many unknowns at the GC Session with divine missions quietly burning in their souls.

thank you so much for showing us the urgency with which we must go forward together... I've shared this with many and I get the reaction from all that things are going to move fast now... God be with us all and protect us from the evil one as we put everything into high gear
Personally, when I read/listened to Pr. Wilson's sermon, (while admitting it had two errors), I got the distinct impression that this would be the last time a GC President gives a strongly pro-Bible and SOP sermon at a GC Session.
I pray Joel can show the house of Jacob their sins, and we will repent as a church so God can send the Holy Spirit and the Loud Cry can go
I had a wonderful time attending my first General Conference Session. I went as a delegate's spouse. I would welcome the opportunity to attend another session, God willing.
It was wonderful to see so many godly people together in one place. Let's pray for our leaders as they serve the church.
The exhibit halls were quite overwhelming for me because of the number of people and the number of stalls to look at. I was pressed for time, trying to fit my visits in between business meetings, worships and meals.
Overall there was a lot of glitz and glamour, which I ignored. We cannot see people's hearts, but I was attracted to the stalls that seemed to have a more conservative emphasis e.g. one that had links with the sanctuary theme.
I would be happy to share the titles of the books I bought (or was given) if you are interested.
The biggest blessing was finding the original (photocopied and then printed) Spirit of Prophecy set. I am reading volume one which of course you are very familiar with.
And, yes it was a blessing to see so many ethnic groups in place. What touched me most was knowing the sacrifices many have made for their faith.
I would be very happy knowing what kind of books you purchased there.
When I was at the one in Atlanta, the EGW people were very supportive of what I was doing. I was very surprised, as most SDA leaders try to put me down for spreading this 1858 Great Controversy book. I even got the answer to a question I had had for a long time - why was the first chapter in the current Steps to Christ put in there?
Doug Batchelor, OCI, and David Gates' group treated me very well too. I had an argument with the Adventist Muslim Relations people as they were pushing Islam. I had good talks with a few simple people at the far edges. I felt some of the glitz at a few of the bigger booths, and just stayed away from the schools and hospital ones. I had some interesting talks with people with booths outside on the sidewalk too, and one of those people said something like we basically believe alike, but I believe in staying inside the structure, while he does not. I asked him to consider returning, and he said something to the effect that if everyone treated him like I had, he would definitely think about it. The people I gave a frown to every time I passed were the Spectrum people, as they are in the church like a cancer, rotting it away from the inside.
Sorry for the very late reply. I moved house and have only opened the boxes of books today. As mentioned I bought the 4 volume Spirit of Prophecy set and that is all I have started reading.
Here are the other books:
Cleansing the Sanctuary of the Heart: Tools for Emotional Healing by David and Beverly Sedlacek

I would appreciate your feedback.
Hmmmm ...this is most difficult....
not familiar with 1 and 5
#2 is good... I found only one mistake and it was in the appendix so I think it is a good read.
#3,4 I have heard about and I think they are good. Ken Cox has a book on Daniel that is real good.
#6 if this was his first book, I think it was good... pretty deep too if I remember right
