On Saturday the 3rd we drove over to Klerksdorp to attend seminary and institute graduation for the three branches. Elder Mdletshe presided and mentioned that it was the very first time that there were any graduates from the Potchefstroom branch from either programs.

This is a picture of all those who were in attendance. Lots of smiles here as the certificates are proudly displayed. The one on the right shows president Kwaikwai receiving his institute graduation diploma.

Here are the students from Potch along with their teachers. Although only Renny has a certificate showing, Mary found out that although her students did not complete the unit – they did not even start until September – three or four of her students were eligible for certificates of achievement. She arranged to get them the next time we are in Johannesburg.

So we were able to be here for another first in the history of the Potchefstroom branch! When we were in the Durban mission we were able to help with the first ever Roadshows and to watch the district youth leaders put on their first large district  program with little or no help from the senior missionaries. We are truly blessed to be serving once again in South Africa.
