We were so happy to have had two young single adult baptisms this past month. First was Aimee, whose mother joined the Church recently. Aimee was then taught and accepted the gospel. She was also already friends with one of our YSAs, and has been coming to Institute and activities. Aimee is very sweet, and has been rather reserved and quiet, but right after she was baptized, she punched the air and did a wee jig of joy in the font. It surprised everyone, including her. She has been "coming out of her shell" ever since. We are so delighted to have her in the group.

A few weeks later, Jimmy was baptized. He has been coming out to YSA activities for quite a while. His girlfriend is a member. He is a cheerful, happy person, but was even more so at his baptism.

A week ago, we had a "skit night". What we did was divide into two teams. Each team chose from a random selection of props, wigs and hats, and then put together a "skit" using those props. After they practiced their skit, they were each given 3 "lines" from the other team to incorporate into their skit, such as "Pardon me, but I think that penguin stole your Ferrari." It was quite a hilarious night.

That looks like a fun game!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea for a YSA activity. Did you bring that idea to Scotland or did it originate locally? Games are always a major way to learn while enjoying the fun. SMILES & BLESSINGS to you forever from the Dolbergs.
ReplyDeleteYeah for two YSA baptisms!!
ReplyDeleteWe brought the rough idea, but the YSAs took it to a new level.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of your description of Aimee's baptism recently; we saw the baptism of a boy with Down's Syndrome last week and he did a double fist pump with a cheer after he was baptized :)
