A Blessed Sabbath

Today is Saturday! Another day for me to enjoy. We are bound to head towards Mt. Nagpatong(a.k.a. Bonifacio's Shrine). That is where the program will be held for today. Actually, there were campers who wnet there ahead of us. They had been there since Friday afternoon. We were warmly welcomed as soon as we arrived at the designated place. I also saw some familiar faces from Magallanes church. Some of my old friends and acquaintances were there, so we talked for a bit.

We were grouped with them since we will be joining the activities they will be having. First, we had the worship. we sang songs in unity and then had a break after the sabbath school program. We rested for a while while were having some snacks we brought along with us. Then after some time, we proceeded with the program.

We had sang more songs and then it was followed by a prayer and the special number from our group or should I say, from the 3K Group(Kilos Kabataan Kaya Mo Yan). It was an on the spot number. We weren't prpared at all, but good thing everything turned well. the after that, our church pastor had some introductions on how the word "pathfinder" was born into this world. The history of how it was now used was quite long though, but it was nice to know about it.

After that, we closed the program with a prayer and we were dismissed. We had our lunch together, and the food sure were appetizing. After that sumptuous feast, we went outside to tour around the place. It really looks like a villa now than a shrine. Though it is not my first time to be here, I am still amazed by its beauty and its importance as part of our history.

After the siesta hour, we proceeded with the afternoon program. This one is full of activies, both for young and old. We first had prparations for the outdoor activity. Another group was added, composing of the old ones, in their early 30's and above. It was not a competition but more of a challenge. There will be alternate physical challenge and then the mental type wherin you will be asked things about the Bible using only your stock knowledge.

It was really fun, and the last challenge was for us to find anything from the nature with the first letter starting from any in the alphabet to complete it all. It was the hardest of all the challenges, but we were not down by it. It also made me closer to my teammates since we have to work together.After that, we had the last activity, the traesure hunting in which our group won. We solved the puzzle first and got the prize, another step in making us first in the rank.

After our prizes were calimed, it is now time for us to go. I said my farewell to everyone and wished them luck for more activities. I also said goodbye to my old acquaintances and left with a smile. I really enjoyed today!
