Here's some photos of our big Night of Gala on Friday November 23rd. This was the first formal party for the students in their new institute building. They were so excited. They could never do anything like this in their old digs next door. After 20 years of that, they deserved this! The students came decked out in their Sunday best and some in formal attire.
This is Yeny Garcia, the President of our Student Council. She's beautiful, inside and out!
Here's the hall the night before, ready for the beautiful fresh flower centerpieces Sister Breton made. .
Two of the sister missionaries, Sister Johansen and Sister De los Santos helped us serve. They were wonderful!
Elder P. served the juice.
Sister P. cut the cakes...Tres Leche. Yum!
We kept the pitchers full of juice and ice on all the tables. They didn't start eating until 9:30. The party started at 7:30....very Dominican! Opening prayer at 8:15, hymn and spiritual thought. Then juice and dancing, then program, then more dancing...then dinner! The caterers didn't seem to mind. (Maybe getting paid by the hour?) :)
Here's a few photos from the Douglas's home on Saturday.
President Douglas relaxing..a rare moment for the Mission President. Brother Fuller next to him. He and his wife work in the office.
A wonderful surprise! We talked Sister Douglas into playing her violin. Wow! It was stunning. She's a concert violinist. I was in heaven!
