Everyone likes a party, especially when it is held at the beach. This year to end our seminary and institute program we held a closing social at our home, you know the one with the beach front property. Some of the young men and our teacher Brother Nena built a firepit using coral rocks from the ocean and putting a wire screen on top. We even collected wood from along the beach for the fire. Many students came early to help with getting things ready.
They made local woven trays to put the food on and then some enjoyed sitting around and talking. We had delicious marinated chicken cooked to perfection, except for the few pieces that got some sand on them when the wind began to whip up. Of course we had to have rice, which I cooked. and many brought local dishes such as taro, breadfruit, bananas (cooked 3 different ways) and naturally it wouldn't be a party without ice cream.

We played some games on the beach with water balloons and had so much fun doing it. After we ate, the wind kept getting stronger and stronger so we were unable to play the game with the new frisbees that we bought. But it was great to be outdoors and eat before we had to come inside. 
We played a fun end of the year game of Jeopardy with questions from the Old Testament. Following the game we watched the movie "Plates of Gold." There were about 30 in attendance including both students and teachers. What a great way to end a successful year for both seminary and institute.
