Hermana Finlayson has already published a previous posting of her experiences and our last institute class. I thought I would add a few pictures as well.
About mid semester one of the institute students suggested that we have a class at the temple since the subject of the class was Preparing for Eternal Marriage. We thought that was a great idea so had our last class on the temple lawn in front of the temple. Since we live on the temple grounds it was very convenient for us but for some of the kids, they had to walk a ways in a very hot sun with a high humidity. Over 30 students came.
We had the temple president come and speak with them about the blessings of the temple. When I looked over at the parking lot, I recognized one of the stake presidents sitting in his car and invited him to also come and speak to the youth about the promises. He did a wonderful job. Sherrie had spent a great deal of time and effort writing over 50 individual notes to all of the students who had registered for our class and we gave them to those that were there. Many commented how much it meant to them to have the notes.
It also seemed fitting to have refreshments so Sherrie also made a wedding cake that we shared with the youth after the class. She did a beautiful job and the kids seemed to enjoy it.
It was so hard to say good-by to this class. They have been a remarkable group and we have learned so much from them. They have great insight and a wonderful faith in the Lord. They will always be in our memory and prayers.
