Life around the Center for Young Adults


First, on a personal note. Kerry passed his driving test!! On the green form you will see multiple usage of the adjective "bra" meaning "good" in the descriptors of the skills demonstrated.
Seriously, I am stoked. The licence is good until I am 100 years old. The temporary is on the left.


We had a special guest at the center this month. Our reception included a table full of great food, which everyone helped to prepare.


Smørbrød are little open face sandwiches topped with lots of good stuff.


Elder Matti Jotunus from Finland was our guest. He is the Area 70 over the Scandinavian countries. He hung out with and talked to our group for over an hour. He is in the middle with some of our group.



There is a new class being taught on Fridays. How to conduct music is held just before sports night begins. This class is required before students can start the keyboard (piano) class. Five students began the series. (That is our new sign leaning against the wall - it goes on the outside wall-someday.)


Yes, we did have Thanksgiving. We prepared dinner for 25 at the church. We cooked two turkeys so there have been plenty of leftovers. We made our own stuffing from scratch (cut and dried the bread ourselves) and cooked our Halloween pumkin to make pumkin pie filling.


Turkey #2 just out of the oven.



Apple pies, Shanna's rolls, Turkey #1


We had hoped to have eaters from five continents but ended up with just North and South America, Europe and Africa. Note the Utah touch - pear/green jello /whipped cream salad topped with Kiwi and raspberries -mmmmmmm. The meal was delicious. We served the pies after class so everyone had room for dessert.
