Seminary and Institute Assignment

Our most important assignment in Botswana is supporting the Seminary and Institute programs. Six seminary and nine institute classes are taught in Botswana. We teach a "Principles of Leadership" institute class on Thursday evenings. We often take cookies to our institute class. One other "Principles of Leadership" class is also taught on Thursday nights. All of the other institute and seminary classes are on the Old Testament. They are taught by local teachers.

We alternate visiting the two institute classes taught on Tuesday nights in Gaborone and try to visit a seminary or institute class on Saturday whenever possible. Most of the classes are taught on Saturday so it takes us a while to get back to each class. We almost always take cookies when we visit a class. We are having a delightful time working with the youth and young adults. They are wonderful.

These pictures are of the Mochudi institute class taught by Junior Kgosiemang. They met outdoors this day because the Dicky Bird School where they met has two rooms. Seminary was using one and the Relief Society was using the other. It was the last time they met at the school before the branch moved to their new location where they will have a tent for sacrament meetings and a remodeled house for classrooms.
