Training for a Center for Young Adults

We have been trying to establish what used to be call an Outreach Center since back in January. We had what we called Outreach Centers in Romania that were not official and somewhat the same here too. In March the senior couple Brother and Sister Koyle who are assigned to Reykjavík really went to work to find out the requirements to have an official center. The last requirement that need to be done was training by the Area office in Frankfurt Germany. It is usually done before all the other requirements are completed but the Koyle´s moved right through all the requirements so when the training was completed on Saturday we were officially recognized as having a Center for Young Adults as they are now known. The Koyle´s are the missionary couple assigned to the center and Sister Bremner and I are part of an advisory committee as the Seminary and Institute Coordinators. Those who attended the training included the Mission President and his counselor, the Branch Presidents, the missionaries, and the young adult leaders. The schedule called for 3 hours of training but because of the previous work by the Koyle´s it went much quicker. That was good because everyone wanted to keep going after it was over and we didn´t get to dinner with the trainers Sister Hanson and Sister Guthrie, President Olauson, the Koyles and us until late thus making for a late night. As this posting is late I will finish Sunday´s activities tomorrow.
