Fun and Games . . . S & I Enjoyment

We have had a great start to the school year in our seminary and institute programs.  We have actually had more young single adults attend so far this year compared with last year.  After two weeks of classes we are excited for what is happening in each of our classes.  Our goal is to still get more to come out in all of the different classes, especially seminary.  The youth are the future of the Church and we have some very faithful and diligent youth on this island.

We held a fun opening social for the youth and the teachers. We thought that we were going to start around 4:00 pm, but however, true to their island customs they did not show up until about 5:30.  You just never know when they will come, but they do eventually come.   I had a dice game set up to play as they were arriving and some did come early so that was a good thing.  We laughed and enjoyed teaching how to play Farkel, or some call it Zilch. 

We started out with some dancing demonstrations which were very good, although I thought that they were going to teach some of those dances to everyone so that all would be involved.   We also did the limbo and musical chairs.










We got some great videos of them participating in these activities but I do not know how to put them on this blog but here are some of the pictures we took.

A party would not be a party without ice cream.  We just served ice cream and local donuts.  Then everyone enjoy playing volleyball and ping pong.  It is great that we have a volleyball court on the back property of the Church.  It serves for both a volleyball and basketball court.  Everyone stayed until about 9:00 pm.    A GREAT TIME!!
