ELDORET SEMINARY GRADUATION ACTIVITY

The Eldoret seminary students were thrilled with the Seminary Graduation Activity  as Elder Babcock, Beffrey Imali (Eldoret CES Superintendant) and I reached our goal to give these wonderful Seminary students four activities this year, combining students from all four of our branches.

Our lasting success will be the wonderful testimony meeting of the students.  A year ago we held a testimony meeting as part of our Seminary Graduation experience but the Seminary teachers recognized that the students were not prepared to bear their testimony, did not know what a true testimony was, and were uncomfortable in bearing a testimony.  It became the teacher’s goal for the 2012 year to teach the Seminary students what is a testimony, how you share your testimony in a respectful way, and use great composure to reverently express yourself.  Our students met each one of the goals and we were so thrilled.  The testimony meeting was filled with expressions of love to the Savior, spiritual experiences, and testimony of the truthfulness of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  The students shared their testimonies one after another with no long pauses or lag time.  Elder Babcock and I were so pleased and can’t wait for our next CES inservice meeting to talk once again with our Seminary teachers about this marvelous change in our students.

Our Seminary teachers along with our CES Supervisor Beffrey Imali planned the entire Seminary graduation activity and we were delighted with their efforts.  We know the teachers will be able to continue these activities without Elder/Sister Babcock as we soon will be completing our mission here in Eldoret.  May the program continue to grow and build the testimony and strength of the youth in Eldoret and Kenya is our prayer.
