Zone Activity: Catanduanes Zone
Monday, September 01, 2014
BAGAMANOC | Day 139 |
SEPTEMBER 1, 2014:
Great! Our Zone won for the first time ever in the history of the Philippines Legazpi Mission! For our reward, we have Zone Activity today! 😃 Every transfer cycle, one Zone can have a special zone activity with an allotted budget if they win a key indicator challenge. We are all happy for our zone in finally winning this one. We're the best zone in this transfer cycle! 😃
Elder Centeno saw this one coming so most of us missionaries have already our special zone shirt printed days before this special day. He has a lot of faith in our zone. Haha. Good leadership. 😄 We celebrate in Amenia Beach Resort at San Andres, Catanduanes. We hang around, bond, played sports, eat together, did spiritual activities, played fun games, and have fun. 😊
I played volleyball with Elder Irabon, Sister Cobales, Sister Abasanta, and Sister Buban. 🏐

After we ate we had a very fun game led by Elder Moran. It was Juniors (left side) vs Seniors (right side). It was super fun and competitive! Haha. We (Seniors) won by the way. 😉 Thanks to Elder Agabayani again for having this video. 😀
It was really tiring but we really had fun. 😊 We took some pictures while resting.

We gathered once again for another activity but this time it's spiritual. All of us shared our testimonies and some miracle stories during our time here in Catanduanes. It was an emotional moment for us. We are really lucky to be called by God to be missionaries and serve our fellow brothers and sisters in our respective areas. It was also an emotional one because some missionaries in our zone will go home and finish their missions very soon. Some of us might also get transferred next week.
