GANS Attivita e Serata di Talenti

Marzo 27, 2017

We love our GANS! If you have been following this blog for a while you know GANS stands for giovani adulti non sposati.  Also known as single young adults. Our GANS range in age from 18 to 31.  Many of them are either still in high school or college, several have served missions for our church, and a few have jobs.

We are here to support and help the GANS in a variety of ways.  One way is to encourage them to attend Institute Classes offered every Wednesday evening.  The current class is Eternal Families taught by Fratello and Sorella A. They are fabulous teachers.

Floriana, Ginvera, and Guila

Every Friday, we sponsor Family Home Evening. During FHE a spiritual message or short lesson is shared, an activity enjoyed, and dinner is eaten. Often I will bring a treat of cookies or brownies.


We have some pretty awesome GANS

The best part is our association one on one with these fine, valiant young people.

This lovely young lady is Carolina who was baptized in November

Sometimes we even invite the GANS to our home.  We had a great missionary fireside this particular Sunday.


Other times our Institute teachers let them come have a BBQ at their home where a fun computer quiz was given reviewing the Eternal Families principles was given.

Who can answer the question the fastest and be right?

Cell phones were involved
Last Friday evening, our GANS put together una Serata di Talenti - a Talent Show.  The talents were preformed by the GANS and the Missionaries and even me. My talent baking chocolate chip cookies!


Carolina and Dario were our MCs, what a great team!
