Napping areas

Chocolate Fixations!
I bug her all day.. Just sitting there and chatting with her
are one of the fondest memories I have at institute.
Love you Sister Diamond!
My FAVORITE thing about Institute are the Classes.
I love that I can gather with young single adults from all over
to share our love for our savior
Jesus Christ
and who Desire to Learn More!
Institutes theme is
"Catch the Spirit Of the Coast"
and let me tell you this is Definately True.
The spirit is felt strongly through all of Institute
especially in classes.
The classes are AMAZING taught by 2 AMAZING Men
Brother Holbrook and Brother Andre
the Love that they have for the scriptures
makes me wanna know more and learn more!
I just love to see people at Institute
express their love for
our Savior Jesus Christ
the Same love and Gratitude I have for my savior
and his Atoning Sacrifice.
WHY, come to Institute you ask?
My answer...WHY NOT?
