To celebrate the 24th of July (a LDS pioneer commemorative day), Ron and I drove an hour north to our church's recreational property at Hartebeesport for an multi-stake activity with the young single adults (YSA). About 200 young people ranging in ages18-30 met and were placed in teams of 8-14. They participated in activities in a variety of stations located across the hillside at which they earned points by encouraging each team member to complete the tasks. We were stationed at the obstacle course and found it fascinating to watch how each team interacted and supported each other with physically challenging balance beams, under/over posts and a tire climb. These pictures are of some of the YSA in our ward.
Today there were 40 YSA in our Sunday School class.
A true delight in our missionary service is teaching every third Thursday a Security presentation to each missionary group at the Johannesburg MTC. We taught this group on July 22 and they departed for their assigned missions on July 28. It is a most inspiring group for they are all African from the continent, 14 elders and 2 sisters. They are remarkable men and women who are among the future leaders in their countries.
One of the elders we were personally acquainted with as he served as a Travel Intern in the Area Office prior to receiving his call and very competently helped us with our travel visas since January.
