A Little Karaoke, Volleyball, Institute Dinner, and Sundays Gatherings

So you want to have fun, so do we. Spending time doing good things is what our mission is all about.

Recently we have enjoyed some really fun times with our young adults.  This is included a karaoke night.

A trio of singers  - Veronica, Salvo, and Susy

The Prayer





Clara is the best




Anziano Hansen and Anziano Haws - don't worry it was an approved song




Francisco and Susy duet




Rise your arms and your voices




Maybe a little "summer loving" happening here








Gabrielle and Clara singing duet




Karaoke is a favorite among our young adults and apparently missionaries too.  You might even have caught a glimpse of me singing a little "Summer Loving."

There are no basketball courts here, but we do have parking lot volleyball.  Ping Pong and foosball are other favorites.  The missionaries organized a friendly game of volleyball with one of the young adults and his friends. It was even more fun because we met his parents.

We play parking lot volleyball, it is much better than beach volleyball




Love her












Smile is her motto








Veronica and Susy - such kind young ladies


Sometimes the neighborhood kids show up to join you




Denis got it




Anziano Haws in action




I am ready to return the ball

The volleyball may have got a little misdirected and turned into a combination volleyball and soccer game.

Our wonderful Institute teachers had an end of year party and dinner at their home.  We were fee spiritually by the missionaries and the teachers and fed physically by the teachers with delicious vegetable sandwiches and gelato to top it all off.

Most of the group




Gabrielle intensely listening to the spiritual lesson




Carolina and Ginevra - such sweet young ladies




Carolina one of the finest young adults




Dario is always ready with a smile




Marco, Adeja, and Papon




Antonio, Gabrielle, and Clara








It was just a bit cooler outside than inside.  Also the size of your home doesn't matter it is the size of your heart that matters and the Aliosios have a very big heart.

Sunday evening we had a small gathering of young adults and shared the blessings of Family History.  A short video along with how to log into Family Search was part of the evening.  Plus a silly game of "do as I say not as I do" and refreshments.

Do as I say not as I do, it is a little harder than you think








Some vegetables to balance off the coconut pineapple cake




Food is always a good way to end an evening. 

The best part of all this is not some much what we do but we do things together.
