It is almost 11:00 pm,
but we had to share our last Institute evening with you. 48 YSA's were
in attendance! They had all brought something for dinner, so it was
lekker eten! They were all waiting on the stage in the Cultural Hall,
and as we walked in, the curtain opened, and they all yelled 'surprise'.
Of course the tears started to flow. After dinner, they had a talent
show where several of the YSA's participated. One of the young men is a
WORLD winner in Irish dancing. One young man sang us a song, and Jan,
Dayna Lee has heard him play.....played us a beautiful piano number.
AND, he DID make us a CD of his piano playing =) We were given many
gifts, one of which was a tie for dad with names of many JoVo's written
on it,and I was given an apron with many names and notes written on it.
They gave us a book where the JoVo's had written their memories of us as
well. Oh my......tears all around. No one wanted to leave, as hugs,
hugs, and more hugs were given. AN evening we will cherish FOREVER!!!!
One of the YSA's filmed the whole evening, so YOU will be able to
experience the evening with us when we come home.
It is still raining and cool......we are enjoying
the last of jacket wearing. We love you, and are starting to 'pack our
bags' to come home.
Love and hugs.......Vader and Moeder
