Sports Activity Day

This past week we had "Sports Activity Day" for our zones. We traveled throughout the mission to accomplish this. Each day we met in a nice park located within the boundaries of that particular zone. A zone has about 24-30 missionaries. We started the day with calisthenics. Then we had soccer games and kickball games. These were followed by relay races and tug-of-wars. A fantastic lunch of barbecued burgers, chips, watermelon and big cupcakes was served. And we finished off the day with an old-fashioned egg toss. A few sun burns and one slightly sprained ankle were the only causalities.

The primary purpose of this event was to give our wonderful missionaries a "day off". Missionary work is difficult -- and like most of us, our missionaries need time to refresh, have fun and "smell the roses". It was a great week!
