Institute of Religion

The Institute of Religion for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the University of North Carolina was a clubhouse with a swimming pool before the church purchased it. The pool has since been filled in. There are approximately ten acres of grassy area with plenty of room for volleyball and other games. The Institute is about a quarter of a mile from campus and is surrounded by trees. It is very quiet and serene and a great place for students to take a break from their college classes and take an institute class.

When we arrived in North Carolina, Brother Nichols had printed the picture above with Ryan's cousins Madeline, Nathan and Parker Davis and taped it outside of Ryan's institute office. This picture was taken during Ryan's first week at the MTC. Ryan slept in his dorm room each night and spent the day at the MTC. The Davis family was kind enough to help Ryan with some last minute missionary clothing details. THANK YOU!
