We’ve loved the opportunity to teach seminary on our mission. High-school youth in the early morning present an interesting teaching challenge, not only because we need to engage them with thoughtful discussion and spiritual fulfillment, but because we have to keep them awake! On the other end of the spectrum, we’ve loved the opportunity to teach Institute. It’s traditionally a class for young adults, but there aren’t a lot in our area so we’ve adapted and taught older adults. Our classes are on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, and tend to delve quite a bit deeper into gospel topics.
Well, this was the end. We finished our Tuesday evening class with (of course) a party, and took a group photo afterward.

This evening we had another party with our Wednesday evening group, and another photo.

Although most of the “regulars” are in these pictures, several were missing and we had others who came occasionally. All of them were great fun, and brought a lot of great insights into our discussions. Thank you to Willa, Eileen, Jerry, Karen, Dale, Veronica, Monica, Celia, Keja, Valentina, Natalie, Vicki, Dave, Marilyn, Woody, Lorraine, Cathy, Judy, Tom, and Miles!
