The young adults (between the ages of 18-30) stayed in Tirsdalen School, a large campus with a swimming pool, football courts, a huge gym and auditorium, a large student kitchen, and lots of rooms for our kids to camp for almost a week.
The halls were full of colorful student masterpieces, and paintings by famous artists.
Here are some of our kids from the Odense Outreach center with friends.
-- Mark, Anje from Finland, Rene, Julie and a friend.
We registered kids all day on Tuesday. They came from Australia, Spain, Germany, Estonia, Greenland, Iceland, USA, England, Italy, Canada, Russia, Romania, The Phillipines, China, Korea, South Africa and all of the Scandinavian Countries.
Michael (a recently returned missionary from England London Mission) and Mads (recent graduate from Gymnasium) clamped ribbons on everyone's wrists to identify their country... red for Denmark
yellow for Sweden
Blue for Norway
Orange for Finland
Green for all other countries.
If you click on this map you will see, up close, the places where we met, danced, ate, and enjoyed a week of getting to know 500 kids who spoke at least 21 different languages. Our Stake President describes why we gathered and the importance of our theme--"Choose the Right."
This is our program for the first few days. (Click again to read the small print)
We gathered for the first time in the big auditorium with our friends from Romania, Sofie (a championship boxer) and Missy from the Phillipines.
Jolene and friends are ready to begin Fest I Nord 2009.
Looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteThose are cool photos, Mom! Looks like it would be great for single young adults.
